Personalized music-based care

Personalized Music-Based Care for Dementia

Rubato helps skilled nursing teams use personalized, physiology-informed music to support resident engagement, participation, and person-centered care.

Supports eligible skilled therapy workflows. Rubato may support Medicare Part B-reimbursable skilled therapy when delivered as part of medically necessary care by qualified clinicians. Coverage and payment depend on patient eligibility, payer requirements, coding, and documentation; reimbursement is not guaranteed.

How Rubato Personalizes Music

1

Know the Individual

Demographics, musical preferences, and personally meaningful music.

2

Measure & Personalize

Physiological responses help refine music selection, informed by the Rubato Regulation Index.

3

Continuously Adapt

Music recommendations evolve over time as Rubato learns from each individual’s responses.

A continuous personalization process—not a playlist created once.

Looking ahead: Rubato is exploring how clinical context and therapeutic objectives can further inform personalized music selection.
