Healthcare
Chiba University Hospital IV
Chiba University Hospital features one of the most complete array of imaging suites in Japan outfitted with Luminous SkyCeilings.
The hospital’s X-ray fluoroscopy Hitachi Curevista systems are equipped with 6’ X 8’ (1.80m X 2.40m) Open Sky Compositions directly over the patient’s line of sight when laying on the equipment bed.
Even for the shorter 15 to 20 minutes X-ray procedures, the illusory overhead view helps dissipate any distress or anxiety by engaging the patient’s imagination, pleasant memories of the outdoors, and relaxing experiences in nature.
The spatial reationships around our bodies are powerful somatic markers that our Autonomic Nervous System immediately detects and which we consciously perceive after the affective imprint has been subconsciously generated.
The therapeutic power of biophilic illusions of nature lies in their ability to mimic the spatial maps that we remember from beautiful and clear days when our imagination soars and we are totally relaxed.
