Bio Beats

"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.

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. Please watch the video by clicking here.

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 available by clicking here.

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."
