About
Musical Health Technologies, a.k.a SingFit, is an award-winning digital therapeutics company which opens up access for hundreds of millions of people to the proven neurological, physical and emotional health benefits of music as medicine.
Powered by a combination of a proprietary Lyric Coach track, a SongPrinted music catalog and algorithmic musical prescriptions, SingFit apps enable healthcare professionals, love economy caregivers and individuals themselves to successfully facilitate therapeutic music even if they have no previous musical training.
SingFit solutions including SingFit PRIME and SingFit STUDIO turn music into medicine. At the heart of every solution is the SingFit app with a unique Lyric Coach track which prompts the lyrics of a song to the singer right before they need to be sung so there is no reading or remembering of lyrics required, you just listen and sing. SingFit PRIME for groups is already in use in more than 500 senior living communities across the country and our latest SingFit STUDIO for one-to-one sessions debuted in 2023. Featuring hits from Elvis, Ella, the Beatles and more, SingFit solutions use music, movement and reminiscence to provide a joyful, non-pharmacological approach to battling cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, social isolation and more.
Founders Bio
Andy Tubman is a board-certified music therapist, public speaker and expert on music and the brain with over 20 years of clinical experience. Andy co-founded SingFit in order to bring music as medicine to a greater number of people. As Chief Clinical Officer for SingFit™, Andy leads the team creating SingFit™ products that, at its core, focus on technology-enabled therapeutic singing programming for older adults. Rachel Francine is bringing cognitive healthcare to the forefront.
As the co-founder and CEO of Musical Health Technologies, Rachel’s “music as medicine” solution, SingFit, is used at more than 500 long term care facilities in the United States to significantly improve the health and happiness of older adults suffering from dementia and mental health challenges. In this role, Rachel has had to navigate both the healthcare and music industries to successfully scale music as medicine for the first time in history.
Rachel began working in interactive technologies in 1996 as a member of CitySearch.com New Markets team and spent the next decade transforming brick and mortar businesses into scalable solutions, including working on the original rollouts of cars.com and apartments.com. After ten years of actively launching and running start-ups, Rachel became disappointed with the trajectory and goals of the commercial technology sector, and in 2009 she obtained a master’s degree in Futures Studies from the University of Houston. With a focus on Transformational Economics, Rachel studied with world renowned futurists Hazel Henderson, Dr. Sohail Inayatullah and Dr. Peter Bishop in order to determine best practices for organizations looking to produce quadruple bottom-line results for people, planet and profit at a transformational pace.
Rachel is a frequent speaker on innovation best practices, women in technology, and music as medicine for such diverse organizations as the United Nations, the Professional Golfers Association, and the American Society on Aging.
