Digital-aided Wellbeing
Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

Muser: Biometric-empowered music therapy
One Purpose:
Promote wellness through music
Music is clinically proven to be effective in treating, managing and coping with anxiety disorders. In a pharmaceutical society, music therapy offers wellness options that are therapeutic, non-invasive, and promote independent coping.
Muser is invented to help achieve an effective, independent coping strategy for anxiety disorders by scientific means.
The Value Gap
Whilst the proven value of music therapies, practice of music therapeutics often lacks data to optimise treatments for patients. “Current music therapy is observation-based and lacks quantitative tools to quantify, manage, and improve the real-time effectiveness.”
Furthermore, the current way of practice lacks a holistic & consistent understanding of patient’s conditions and actionable information between intermittent clinical visits.
