A medical technology start-up that uses soothing music to help patients combat pain and anxiety is to scale up after securing investment worth £1.2 million.
MediMusic launched in Hull last year, attracting national interest when its artificial intelligence-compiled playlists were proven to ease stress for dementia patients in NHS trials. It works via an app and streaming service, with the technology targeted at hospitals, dental surgeries and care homes to help manage chronic pain or support patients before and after operations.
A £200,000 seedcorn investment from Finance Yorkshire is supported by investment from University of Hull and fellow C4DI business Sauce Consultants Ltd, with the balance coming from private investors.
