MediMusic wins Music Tech Start-Up Award
MediMusic uses AI to create custom playlists tailored to patient needs to ease pain, anxiety, and stress, particularly for people living with dementia.
Initial trials in the UK showed a 25% reduction in heart rate among dementia patients, and plans are to expand the trials to more hospitals and care homes in the UK and US.
Tuned Global’s Music-as-a-Service powers MediMusic by providing access to extensive music catalogs and backend support.
The Wallifornia jury, composed of global music & tech professionals, innovators, and investors, including Dirk Reyn (R&S Consulting), Andy Lürling (Lumo Labs), Scott Cohen (JKBX), Lorraine de Silva (Best Nights VC), Rishi Patel (Plus8Equity), Takayuki Suzuki (MusicTech Japan), Patrick Clifton (Clifton Consults), Bertrand Polou (Sacem), Rachel Young (TikTok), Gareth Deakin (Sonorous Global), and Virginie Chelles (Tuned Global)—selected MediMusic from among 140 startups to win the 2024 award following a 2-day mentoring program.
“I have been impressed by MediMusic’s pitch and their groundbreaking business.,” said judge Andy Lürling, Founding Partner at LUMO labs. “The fact that they have been trialed in NHS setups and shown effective results on heart rate is really promising. They come with a solution to one of society’s most pressing issue; mental and cognitive health.”
