About evidence based art
What is evidence based art?
Dr. Nanda:
"'Evidence-based Art' is based upon the principles of Evidence-based Design, and makes a commitment to basing design decisions on the best available research evidence. There is a small but significant body of research evidence today on
the impact of art on clinical and behavioral outcomes of patients in hospital settings. "
"Viewing artwork with appropriate nature content has been seen to reduce stress and pain perception, as measured by physiological outcomes such as blood pressure, heart-rate, and skin conductance, in addition to self-report measures such as pain-rating scales and surveys."
"For example:
In a study conducted in Sweden by Roger Ulrich, heart surgery patients in an ICU who were shown nature scenes with water, trees and high depth of field, showed lesser anxiety, suffered less intense pain, and required lower strength pain medication,
than those shown abstract scenes or no image at all.
Economic benefits of lower cost of pain medication, reduced length of stay, and increased patient and staff satisfaction, can be extrapolated from such studies and strengthen the case for taking an evidence-based approach."
De Moodlab experiments with these givens and wants to provide people at home and at work to add in more beauty, comfort & luxury,
so they experience less 'hamster-wheeling', less stress, can irradicate fear, experience less 'grey of the ordinary day'
and more creativity, productivity, effectivity, flexibility of mind and more 'Appetite for life'.
"When stress rises, concentration decreases. In a fast attempt to keep out heads above the water, we try to find quick things that will distract or boost energy, like a bar of chocolate, greasy fast food or a snack from a machine.
Unfortunately, this will not bring you very far. On the contrary: it makes matters worse.

Stress makes you stupid, fat and sick!
We know stress either causes or contributes to all illness.
The main stress hormones, adrenalin and cortisol, literally ‘eat’ brain cells and put on abdominal fat.
Stress narrows our focus and diminishes performance.
