Yoko K. Sen is an ambient electronic musician classically trained since the age of three. She says that she hears "any sound as a musical note". So she was shocked when an illness brought her to the emergency room of her local hospital. She was terrified by the cacophony of a constant barrage of audible alarms. "Lying on a hospital bed I thought 'Why does it have to be this way? Could it be better?'".
This experience is the genesis of Sen Sound, a design studio "that transforms the experience of sound in healthcare. We collaborate with hospitals and medical device companies to help improve patient and clinician experience via participatory research and design."
