The BeatHealth Project

Abstract

This work will elaborate on the new EU Beathealth project: an initiative to create an intelligent technical architecture capable of delivering embodied, flexible, and efficient rhythmical stimulation adapted to individuals' motor performance and skills for the purpose of enhancing/recovering movement activity. It will then explain how it can exemplify the principles of Ubiquitous Music and how knowledge from this field can suggest creativity-driven social enhancements. Case Studies will be presented to illustrate potential applications and additionally a short discussion on suitable theoretical guidelines will be made.
