Reconnect through Music
AI-powered Music Interventions: Personalised to needs, Anytime, Anywhere.
Caring for someone living with dementia is complex. MATCH turns everyday moments into opportunities for joy and connection by integrating music into everyday tasks.
Evidence–based support in care and at home
MATCH (Music Attuned Technology – Care via eHealth) is an innovative tool designed to help carers use personalised music strategies to improve daily life for people living with dementia and other complex needs. We are also developing an AI-powered biometric driven application for signalling which music works best and when to use it.
Whether you're supporting someone at home, in residential aged care, or as part of a clinical team, MATCH gives you practical, evidence-based solutions for the toughest moments in care. From calming distressing moments to creating joyful interactions, MATCH is your trusted partner for compassionate effective care.
Redefine Caregiving with Music and Technology
MATCH combines cutting-edge AI with evidenced-based music therapy to deliver powerful, easy-to-use solutions for dementia care. Reduce stress, manage agitation, and promote meaningful connections with a tool that’s as compassionate as it is effective.
What MATCH helps you overcome:
Agitation & Escalating Stress
MATCH guides you to use music at just the right moment, diffusing tension and easing distress before it escalates into a crisis.
Repetitive Behaviours
With MATCH’s personalised music strategies, you can redirect attention and reduce anxiety through calming, familiar musical experiences.
Refusal of Care
MATCH provides strategies to integrate music into care moments, lowering resistance and transforming tasks into safer and more positive experiences.
Withdrawal or Disconnection
MATCH empowers caregivers to re–engage those who are socially withdrawn. Music helps spark recognition, evoke emotions, and foster meaningful connections, when words can’t bridge the gap.
Verbal Aggression
When words are overwhelming or misunderstood, MATCH guides you in how to use music to deescalate distress, reducing verbal outbursts and regulating emotion.
Our vision is to create a better everyday life for people living with dementia, their families, and carers throughout the dementia journey using the unique power of music.
John's Story
Imagine John, a man in his 70s who can get confused at times and who often becomes more agitated later in the day. He then frequently paces restlessly, following his wife around with talking constantly, and is sometimes hard to settle.
Using the MATCH integrated sensors which have already "learned" what are typical behavioural patterns for John, MATCH can detect changes in his arousal levels and when he will be at risk of becoming agitated, which will make it more difficult for his wife to settle him.
The app then selects suitable music based on John's preferences that contain musical features that "match" his agitation level. The music’s tempo, style, and volume will then be continuously adapted to meet his current needs, regulate his arousal, and help reduce his agitation.
As John becomes more calm, his confusion is lessened and he is more able to interact with his wife in ways that bring them both joy and connection.
