Bio Beats

<p>"In 2012 David Plans (VP Product) and Davide Morelli (VP Engineering) pitched their programme to sonify and visualize brain waves using just a custom-built headset and an iPhone to me and I immediately saw the opportunity to use heart data to create and influence experiential music. I also saw that we could now fulfill a long time vision of mine, elegantly merging healthcare and entertainment.</p><p>We set out to test our concepts and partnered with retro funk hip hop group, The Far East Movement and created an event powered by over 1.5 million heart beats.&nbsp;<a href="http://vimeo.com/70625074" target="_blank">Please watch the video by clicking here</a>.</p><p>The team went on to win the Spotify hackathon Echonest Prize at SXSW for their experiment 'Pulse'. And then BioBeats wrote history again... we built a tool that would allow the audience at a venue to stream their heartbeats to the DJ booth and for the DJ to use that information to influence his set. And yes, we have another video&nbsp;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbzjD9lFxOI" target="_blank">available by clicking here</a>.</p><p>I am extremely proud of the growing BioBeats team and the incredible work they're doing to explore how our technologies can impact health and wellness. I am confident BioBeats will not only help humans feel better, we will make the journey fun and entertaining."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">Nadeem Kassam</span></p><h3>Founder &amp; Catalyst</h3><p><a href="http://www.mybasis.com/" target="_blank">Basis Science</a>&nbsp;and BioBeats</p>
