Today announced its 15 funding recipients of the for our MATCH (Music Attuned Technology - Care via eHealth) Project.

They awarded us $2M (US$1.3M). This funding, combined with our $2M from Australia’s Medical Research Future Fund, will enable us to advance MATCH to accelerate its development. Thank you, Google, for this opportunity.

‘A common challenge for patients with dementia is agitation when emotional and physical needs go unmet. Combining the therapeutic benefits of music with wearable sensors and AI, MATCH is an adaptive, music-based tool that aims to decrease agitation and reduce medical costs. This grant will support the development of the sensor technology and AI-enabled music adaptive system as well as a pilot study in Australia to prepare the project to scale globally.’
