Feed.fm Launches Health.fm Adding Music to mHealth

Feed.fm today announces the launch of Health.fm, the first algorithmically driven music program for the mHealth industry. As the $27 Billion mHealth market continues to produce devices and apps at a fever pitch, Health.fm, leveraging Feed.fm's mobile retention and ROI expertise, will provide the soundtrack to enhance healthcare's modern mobile movement. Health.fm is focused on decreasing an estimated $370 Billion in healthcare cost by making mHealth apps and devices more effective for patients. Smartly curated music has already proven effective at increasing exercise frequency by 2-3x, which improves outcomes for digital fitness programs. Health.fm will be breaking new music ground by helping society reduce anxiety, increase mindfulness, improve motor recovery, complete physical therapy exercises and even aid in taking one's medication on time and in the correct manner.

"mHealth is the single most positive shift in healthcare in the last fifty years and Feed.fm is excited to help place the healing powers of music and sound into broader health programs with the launch of Health.fm," said Feed.fm CEO Jeff Yasuda.

"As music has a strong impact on the brain, it can be personalized to drive clinical outcomes," said MedRhythms President Owen McCarthy. "The neuroscience supports the use of music and the components of music as the mechanism of action to drive motor recovery and lasting physiological change. Combine this with the Digital Therapeutics movement, it is the perfect time to harness the neuroscience to mobilize and personalize the delivery of evidence-based therapeutics and we applaud the launch of Health.fm to speed this medical musical movement."

Recovering from an illness, rehabilitating from an injury or beginning a weight reduction or smoking cessation program all share common characteristics and challenges. Health.fm's specific purpose is to increase the benefit, effectiveness and revenue associated with these life-changing programs. Properly curated and synched with program goals, Health.fm's music will help participants to continue with mHealth programs at their most challenging moments. The platform and team of musicologists and music licensing experts combine to remove all the risk and guesswork out of licensing, curating and sharing music for patients.

Music as Medicine - Examples
Stress reduction - listening to music lowers cortisol hormone levels that cause stress and anxiety (15 studies).
Stroke recovery - verbal memory improved 60% in music listeners versus 18% in audiobook listeners and 29% in non-listeners (University of Helsinki).
Pain reduction - post-op children who listened to music demonstrated pain decreases equivalent to taking Panadol (study).

About Feed.fm
Feed.fm amplifies customer engagement with music. Music is proven to drive user retention, workout motivation, stress relief, and faster recovery. Top brands like Fitbit Coach, MoveWith, Pear Sports, ClassPass, ASICS, DailyBurn and the LA Marathon are working with Feed.fm to integrate popular music in their experiences. Based in San Francisco, Feed.fm is funded by Crunchfund, Core Ventures Group, KEC Ventures, and Fyrfly.

"This is a really exciting step for us as a company even if it's a small step geography-wise. Canada is home to not just to some of the most important film production cities in the world, but to some of the world's most exciting creators. In the past year, I've personally visited Canadian film communities, meeting and listening to the needs of those creators, many of whom are looking for more tools to build their creative independence without having to move south of the border. We know we can provide a lot of value on that front," said Seed&Spark founder and CEO Emily Best. Read latest news here.

Included in the expansion is support for Canadian currency, compliance with local tax regulations and the ability to connect with Canadian bank accounts. It also marks the beginning of a deeper commitment to Canadian film communities with other resources, education and career-changing opportunities including partnerships with the likes of the Duplass brothers and prestige film organizations. The announcement comes on the heels of this summer's filmmaker-centric events in Vancouver, Victoria and Edmonton and a partnership with StoryHive.

"Just this summer, I met several hundred creators from all over Western Canada, at all ages and all stages of their careers. One thing that unifies creators is their deep desire to make the work that matters most to them. That's what crowdfunding is best for — connecting your passion project to the audiences passionate about the same things," Best said. Read all the related news.

In support of the Canadian crowdfunding news, the company also announced additional Canadian films available to watch on its streaming service. The playlist Spotlight: Canada, available to stream now, is a collection of films by or about Canadian perspectives, including The Animal Project, Hotel Congress, Stolen, Sound Asleep, Given Your History, I Lost My Mind, A Moonless Night, REI and Just a Prayer. Coming exclusively to stream on Seed&Spark on October 9 is She's Not Funny, a Canadian series about the challenges faced by female comics in the male-dominated world of stand-up comedy.

"Canada is enormous, and that geographic diversity means that so many different kinds of truly diverse storytelling can emerge. I grew up watching Canadian comedy, but what I've learned from spending more time with creators in Canada is that there are entire new storytelling styles and modes still being invented and discovered there," Best said.

Canada-based filmmakers can launch crowdfunding campaigns today and access all Seed&Spark's free career-building resources at http://www.seedandspark.com/crowdfund. Upcoming Canadian events will be posted to http://www.seedandspark.com/events as they are scheduled, including links to RSVP.

All profits for the film will go to philanthropic efforts to assist communities suffering from this brutal epidemic of violence. Some of the endeavors will include, educational programs for children, rally for peace events, funding to pay expenses for burials for homicide victims, and many others.

"We are ten times more likely to get shot here than any other city, so we are just trying to let people know what we go through every single day," stated Imani Brown, lead actress of "53206: Milwaukee." She added, "And Robbie has experienced lots of deaths in regards to gun violence, and I have as well."

In reference to his supporting lead role in "53206: Milwaukee," 17 year old Carnelious Gill added "These are the people who gave me a chance to do what I love. Other people shot me down, but these are the people who gave me the chance to do this, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I can't say it enough."

New Report From MDR Provides Insights Into Teachers’ Views on Designing Learning Spaces for Student Success

Teachers believe that cramped K-12 classrooms with desks neatly in rows and the blackboard at the front of the room should be a thing of the past. According to the third report released today by MDR, in its State of the K-12 Market 2018 series, The Impact of Learning Spaces on Student Success, teachers around the country believe the design of learning spaces indeed impacts student outcomes.

More than 1,600 teachers participated in a market research study on learning spaces, conducted by MDR, a division of Dun & Bradstreet, with 94 percent agreeing that space impacts learning. The more than 80-page report looks at themes that evolved from the outcomes of the survey, such as issues regarding flexibility and collaboration, the importance of technology integration, and intentional design in modern classroom spaces. The Impact of Learning Spaces on Student Success also provides high-level perspectives on 21st century learning, classroom seating, and individual learning styles.

"Teachers across the country overwhelmingly agree that creative learning spaces play an important role in student engagement," said Melissa Pelletier, MDR education research editor and an author of the study. "Companies who work with schools will gain valuable insights into what teachers believe creates learning environments that encourage all students to collaborate, develop critical thinking skills, and achieve their highest potential." Read all the latest news.

The report found that, among teachers who indicated space had a high impact on learning, more than 40 percent believed that a positive environment was conducive to learning and better performance. Nearly three-quarters of educators surveyed believed their classroom environment is conducive to 21st-century learning, including collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking and problem solving. Among those who believed space had a high impact, more than a quarter said that small spaces and negative environments often create distractions and deter learning.

As one teacher said, "We teach classes of as many as 36 students. In some classrooms, students are
practically on top of each other. There is no space to have quiet conversations, to work on writing, to do book groups. Space is premium."

The Impact of Learning Spaces on Student Success is a collaboration between MDR and the Education Market Association. Three case studies from the EdMarket network are included in the report, supporting the topic of how space impacts learning.

"This report gives solid evidence of the critical needs and pent up demand our member companies have been addressing in the marketplace as new education facilities are planned and built." said Jim McGarry, president and CEO, EDmarket.

A copy of The Impact of Learning Spaces on Student Success is available for purchase for $1,499 at https://mdreducation.com/reports/the-impact-of-learning-spaces-on-student-success/. Media who would like a copy of the report should contact Lisa Wolfe: lwolfe(at)lwolfe.com, 312-953-8085.
