Open Window is an unique multi-media art intervention in the Stem Cell Transplantation Unit introduced by haematologist Prof. Shaun McCann about ten years ago at a leading Dublin hospital. As probably the largest study of its kind to evaluate the effect on patients’ quality of life, it is currently in press with the Journal of Psycho-Oncology.
The artist/curator who developed the concept of a virtual window in patients’ rooms, Denis Roche, received an Arthur Guinness award and an Allianz Business 2 Arts award for innovation from President Mary McAleese in September 2011.
