| Summary: |
In her inaugural Professorial Lecture, Professor Cassidy explores the potential of Personal Music Technology as a powerful tool for wellbeing in everyday life and health-care contexts including dementia.
The talk draws upon a growing body of evidence, including Professor Cassidy’s own research and insights through projects such as the Playlist for Life app for wellbeing in dementia, RockBand and musical identity, and the SingFit app for singing in healthy aging.
Professor Cassidy argues that to maximise potential wellbeing benefits of Personal Music Technologies, we need to increase multidisciplinary dialogues and develop co-designed and evidence-based technologies.
Such technologies, she argues, should also be evaluated for their impact in contemporary health-care contexts, and related to both existing and novel frameworks of care. |
