Myndstream announces collaboration with Mayo Clinic to explore the power of functional music with rigorous clinical data
LONDON, 17th November 2025 – In a groundbreaking move, global wellness music brand Myndstream has announced a know-how collaboration with Mayo Clinic – the global medical centre for expert care and research – to research the clinical applications of music in healthcare. The agreement marks Myndstream’s entry into the healthcare sector, building on the company’s longstanding work with top academic and wellness institutions to study music’s therapeutic impact and potential.
Under the agreement, Mayo Clinic has taken an equity stake in Myndstream and together they will explore the clinical potential of functional music in healthcare settings to better understand how music can be used to enhance patient recovery and clinician wellbeing.
Hospitals can be intense environments, testing patients through unfamiliar, stressful and sometimes traumatic experiences, while also challenging healthcare professionals to manage fast-paced, emotionally charged situations. The new collaboration has been forged to explore how Myndstream’s outcome-driven music offering can be applied in these settings to potentially reduce stress, support recovery and enhance overall wellbeing to support both immediate and long-term health outcomes.
Intentional music listening is already a well-established therapeutic modality, supported by decades of research demonstrating its positive impact on a range of health issues from anxiety1 and cardiac health to dementia2, pain management3 and more. This collaboration seeks to build upon this foundation, combining Myndstream’s experience in music for health and wellbeing, with Mayo Clinic’s clinical expertise to explore potential new frontiers in evidence-based music for health.
The collaboration will see Myndstream work alongside Mayo Clinic’s Dr. Dawn Mussallem, D.O. and her team. Dr. Mussallem is a distinguished integrative oncologist, board-certified lifestyle medicine physician and Stage 4 cancer survivor.
“Collaborating with a world-class organisation like Mayo Clinic marks a pivotal step in our mission to unlock the therapeutic power of music,” said Freddie Moross, founder of Myndstream. “This collaboration allows us to explore and seek to validate what so many know instinctively – that music can be a profound tool for healing and human connection.
“With the global wellness market projected to reach US$9 trillion by 20284, there’s immense potential for functional music to become a mainstream therapeutic resource. This collaboration is helping to transform music from something people simply listen to into a readily accessible tool that actively supports wellbeing.”
The collaboration comprises a knowledge-sharing period, in which Myndstream will work with Dr. Mussallem’s team to investigate the impact of its functional music on patients and clinicians. Myndstream intends to refine its offerings with data gathered from these studies, seeking to validate the role of functional music in improving physical, emotional and cognitive outcomes.
Myndstream has been championing the healing power of functional music since 2021, when Moross put the concept on the map for the industry, spotlighting the crucial role music and sound can play in therapeutic and wellness contexts.

Moross will unpack the new collaboration at the intersection of sound, science and healing with Dr. Mussallem this week at the 19th annual Global Wellness Summit in Dubai. In tandem, Dr. Mussallem will share her personal healthcare journey as a stage IV cancer survivor and heart transplant recipient and how this has influenced her work and research.
