The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $250,812 Project Grant to Rubato, Inc. to develop and validate a protocol for a biometrically-tailored, AI-driven music-based intervention (MBI) to reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The 2-year project, running from August 2025 to May 2027, will enhance the existing Rubato MBI to include real-time alerts to nursing home staff when residents reach certain stress levels, allowing staff to remotely start/stop the personalized music intervention. The project aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of this automated, AI-powered MBI in addressing BPSD without the need for trained professionals or explicit feedback from individuals with dementia.
