Wavepaths

As the Chief Product & Technology Officer at Wavepaths, I collaborate with renowned musicians like Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins, and Greg Haines. Our multidisciplinary team includes scientists, technologists, designers, and psychotherapists, and we share a mission to improve global mental wellbeing by making transformative experiences widely accessible through personalised and adaptive music experiences.

Wavepaths uses cutting-edge generative and adaptive machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI & ML) to facilitate live, unique, personalised music experiences for psychedelic therapy and deep listening, developed from over a decade of neuroscientific research. It is used by legal clinics in 30 different countries and optimised for ketamine therapy, with plans to extend support for MDMA and psilocybin therapy soon.

Our approach is grounded in the realisation that there isn't a one-size-fits-all playlist for psychedelic therapy. Instead, we create personalised and responsive music experiences that resonate with individuals' emotional states during their unique journeys. Wavepaths is an adaptive musical tool that responds to users' needs, preferences, and the duration of action of different psychedelic medicines.

Together, we create innovative and engaging experiences with the power to uplift and support mental wellbeing on a global scale. Our work at Wavepaths is part of a new generation of therapeutic tools designed to revolutionise mental healthcare and provide a new paradigm of care.
