Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Music

In brief

This 6 - 12 week longitudinal study will include patients with Dementia. Participants will be randomized into one of two groups: a) an intervention group, in which patients will listen to music using Rubato Life app, and b) a control group, in which patients will receive standard of care. Patients in intervention group will be asked to listen to at least 30 minutes per day, (or a total of 3.5 hours per week) for a period of 6 -12 weeks, coming up to their scheduled follow up appointment. Patients in the Intervention group will wear smartwatches to monitor heart rate variability throughout the study.
