Muser — Data-driven music therapeutics
Muser combines music-streaming service with biometric analytics to curate music therapeutic service.
Muser is here to provide a non-invasive solution to address anxiety disorders.
Unknown to many, Music is a clinically proven method to treat and manage substance abuse. It promotes independent coping.
By bringing data to music therapies, we enhances its reliability.
Biometric wearables is a key part to promoting Muser to more people. In 2018, over 122 million wearables were shipped.
Muser collects biometric data from Biometric wearables for health insight generation, and play from mainstream streaming services.
With a data-driven approach, Muser makes music therapy quantifiably evident and more reliable.
Muser collects biometric signals, such as respiratory rate, and heart rate from the wearable interface.
Muser identify music attributes and characteristics through the play history and listening behaviours.
Muser makes use of machine learning and pattern recognition to study patterns of bioresponse, by which to make scientific recommendations.
Muser benefits from our own experts' music database based on real therapeutics to run its analysis.
Muser APP: profile, music, health, and personalised playlist.
Users can experience Muser free of charge. A premium services is available for more personalised features.
As our business scale, Muser will expand to more scenarios such as personal device, home environment, hospitality, et cetera.

Inspiration

Millions of people are in some quarantined environment for a prolonged period in this pandemic. How to enable people to feel happy and not be depressed by the depressive atmosphere?

We aim at utilizing music, a culture so popular in the modern way of living, as a way to massage our mind and remove ourselves from the stress we might not even be aware of.

What it does

Muser collects biometric data from Biometric wearables can provide the biometric information, while large music streaming services provide a library of treatment. By combining the two assets, Muser aims at making music therapies quantifiable and reliable and curating a better mind-massage experience.

Muser's data-driven approach comprises three major parts: ‘Track, ‘Analyze’, and ‘Recommend’. On the biometric wearables, Muser tracks biometric signals, such as respiratory rate, and heart rate. All data collection is automated through the Oura API.

On the Music Streaming interface, we track music attributes and characteristics. Then, this information is collected and uploaded onto Muser’s cloud platform. Muser makes use of Machine Learning and pattern recognition to study patterns of the patient’s biometric response, and that of the music he or she streams, Muser will make correlations and scientific recommendations according to unique contexts. Muser also makes use of an existing music database based on Therapeutic to run its analysis.

What's next for Muser

Muser needs to curate the best music experience for stress-relief music for work from home professionals or patients quarantined because of symptoms.

Our purpose here at Global Hack

We hope to develop content-aware capabilities to Muser, the data-driven music therapy service. We will conduct context and user profiling under the framework Muser will adopt to accommodate those situations and customize the music listening experience through enhancing our algorithms.
