iMUSE - iMUSE for Older People

iMUSE provides a relaxing and creative space that helps you forget the outside world, focus on the present and feel less anxious. iMUSE uses interactive technology to help you:

  • Relax – a vibrating mattress gently massages the body. This calms and focuses the mind, relaxes muscle tone and reduces anxiety and stress.
  • Make Music – no previous musical experience is needed to make music with iMUSE. Motion sensors detect movements and turn them into sounds. These sounds can be used in creative ways to play or sing along with favourite songs.
  • Create visuals – a microphone picks up sounds and iMUSE transforms them into beautiful visuals and projects them into the iMUSE space.

Each 1-to-1 session lasts for 30 minutes. Our facilitator works with you to find out which songs, sounds and visuals you like. These are then used to personalise your iMUSE experience.

Who benefits from iMUSE?

  • People with dementia and memory loss.
  • People who experience anxiety, discomfort and pain.
  • Anyone who responds to and enjoys music and/or singing.
  • Anyone looking for a creative, interactive or therapeutic activity that enhances wellbeing.

What benefits can iMUSE bring about?

  • iMUSE can help people who are feeling anxious or agitated to relax and become more focussed.
  • iMUSE can help people connect with those around them. It can improve focus, making it easier to concentrate/listen and take part in conversations.
  • Creating music or visuals can help people express feelings without words. As people learn to control the iMUSE space, they become more confident, more creative and more engaged.
