IoT-MT: Connected Care System For Elderly Anxiety Management Via Music Therapy.

The elderly are at a higher risk of developing depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses due to their age, chronic diseases, financial dependencies and other factors. Access to mental health services is often limited due to high cost, a low number of psychologists/therapists, and social taboos. In this paper, we propose automating the emerging technique of 'music therapy' (MT) using the internet of things (IoT) to develop a novel solution 'IoT-MT'.
