Sound-relaxation experience: make immediate feelings measurable
Real sources · Illustrative request · Sample version
Customer question
Fictional fixed-flow v1 gives general adults one 30-minute session, focusing on immediate subjective relaxation.
How do we separate liking the experience, relaxation changes and lasting support outcomes?
Related music research informs design. Different sound, workflow, populations and professional roles do not justify transferring treatment conclusions.
Measurement boundaries for one session
| Check / stage | Chart content |
|---|---|
| Before session | Prespecified relaxation measure, expectations and participant characteristics |
| During session | Version, duration, sound parameters, guidance and adverse experiences |
| Immediately after | Same relaxation measure; liking and satisfaction separately |
| One-week feedback | Experience feedback and durability; not disease-treatment evidence |
30 minutes and one week are protocol assumptions, with no actual effects shown. Sound intensity, safety conditions and an appropriate comparator require professional confirmation.

Acceptance criteria
- Procedure, parameters, dose and participants are identifiable; background research and service-specific findings remain distinct.
- Experience, purchase intention and health-support outcomes are separated, with immediate and sustained effects distinguished.
- Measures, comparator, expectation effects, missingness, adverse feedback and safety questions are recorded; no improvement and unfavourable findings are allowed.
