Description
Fiona Ecarnot and co-authors report a two day meeting on music, technology, and healthy ageing, held in June 2025. A European ageing council joined two Italian projects to review the evidence on music and health. Reports link music to gains in mood, thinking, body responses, and quality of life for older adults.
Speakers were asked to probe how music, brain science, technology, and environmental design each shape ageing. They also sought interventions that support healthy ageing in daily life. Their 2026 paper is the executive summary of those proceedings. It frames music based tools as one plank of a wider plan against age linked decline.
