Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health: 
I am a GeriPal - a doctor caring for frail elderly near the end of life in nursing homes and clinics. I am studying the spark triggered by familiar music for nursing home staff and doctors caring for persons with memory loss, especially seniors from varied cultures and backgrounds. I especially enjoy finding AI tools to generate playlists, creating real-time interventions in times of serious illness and caregiver crisis.
Collaboration Interests:
