In the lounge
A fifteen to twenty-minute group session, played softly through a speaker, after lunch or late afternoon. A calm slot in the activities programme.
Care homes, senior residences, rehabilitation
Sonocrea gives your activities team sound relaxation sessions: gentle texts inspired by poets and the world’s wisdom traditions, read in a calm voice over ambient soundscapes. A session starts from a tablet, in the lounge or in a resident’s room, with no outside practitioner to bring in.

Uses
A fifteen to twenty-minute group session, played softly through a speaker, after lunch or late afternoon. A calm slot in the activities programme.
On headphones, for residents who stay in their room or prefer to listen alone. Something to offer those group activities don’t reach.
A session listened to together during a visit: a shared moment when conversation becomes harder.
For your teams
For activities and care staff: choosing a session, setting it up, offering it, watching the resident’s comfort and stopping if needed.
The licence covers the facility’s devices: your teams can also use it in the staff room, for a moment to breathe.
Framework and precautions
Your residents are more vulnerable than the general public. The licence comes with everything you need to offer Sonocrea with confidence and present it to residents’ and families’ representatives.
A consent template for the resident or their legal representative is provided. A session is offered, never imposed, and stops at the first sign of discomfort.
For a resident with epilepsy or a psychiatric condition, a doctor’s advice is required before any listening. Precautions are supplied ready to display.
GDPR data processing agreement (Article 28) adapted to the care sector. No health data needs to be entered in the app; usage reports are anonymised.
Sonocrea is not a medical device and is not part of the care plan. It does not replace any care, treatment or support. It is a relaxation activity offered by your teams, like a reading or a music session.

Anonymised usage report, new sessions, check-in with your contact person.
No. Sonocrea is a relaxation and comfort activity. It is not a medical device, is not part of the care plan and does not replace any care.
For a resident with epilepsy or a psychiatric condition, yes: a doctor’s advice is required before any listening. For other residents, a session is offered like any other activity.
A template is provided, to be signed by the resident or their legal representative. At the time of the session it remains an offer, never imposed, and stops if the resident wishes.
Both work. In the lounge, the session plays softly through a speaker; the binaural frequency effect needs headphones and is kept for individual listening.
Any trained team member: activities coordinator, care assistant, nursing aide. A tablet is enough.
Sessions whose texts are free interpretations of authors, poets and world traditions, written with the help of AI and read in a calm voice. No word-for-word quotations: original, gentle texts.
The Group plan covers several sites under one contract, setup included. It is built on quotation.
Yes. Do not listen during any activity that requires alertness. If you have epilepsy or a psychiatric condition, ask a doctor before using Sonocrea. These precautions are supplied ready to display.
One hour at your facility is enough to know whether Sonocrea belongs in your activities programme. On-site demo, then thirty days’ trial with no commitment.
