The Problem:
65-85% of head and neck cancer patients experience significant anxiety and depression during treatment. Current supportive care lacks real-time, personalized interventions with objective physiological monitoring.
The Solution:
Skitii uses RMSSD-based adaptive music therapy that monitors heart rate variability in real-time and adjusts music selection to maintain optimal stress levels (RMSSD ≥30ms). The patent-filed algorithm personalizes therapy by learning individual patient responses.
Who Benefits?
- Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy
- Healthcare facilities providing supportive oncology care
- Mental health and wellness programs
Key Achievements
