Can AI Turn Music into Medicine?

It’s no surprise that music can affect our emotions. But can music actually improve our mental health? Aaron Labbé, founder and chief technology officer at the Toronto-based company LUCID, believes it can. With the help of AI-curated music playlists, and technology that reads your facial expressions as you listen, LUCID is trying to turn music into medicine. LUCID has an app called Resonance Rx that can be prescribed to patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia, as well as a public-facing platform where you can try this technology yourself at vibemusic.ai.
