Rachel Francine, co-founder and CEO of Musical Health Technologies, is a UH Foresight Alum. She believes that the Future of Medicine might be… Music!
Music Health Technologies recently presented their first-of-its kind mobile application titled SingFit at the eighth annual University of Southern California Body Computing Conference. The conference was designed to discover how new advances in sensing technologies might leverage music to improve the health of millions of people. Cutting edge research from top academic institutions indicates that regular singing can have profound health benefits for people with autism, dementia, chronic respiratory disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression and various other hard-to-treat health conditions.
SingFit won first prize at the Conference by demonstrating how their product can combine data from various sensors with information from a patients medical history to administer music as medicine for controlling stress and managing mood.
Rachel Francine stated in a recent press release that “when we launched the company, we wanted to create a product that could have an immediate, transformative impact on the lives of people who use it.” Rachel added that the best part of the conference was”the real support we got from the established medical community and learning about all of the work that is being done to speed the innovation and distribution of digital health.” Personalized medical intervention might become available to patients even sooner than Music Health Technologies had anticipated!
