SOCIAL IMPACT AND INNOVATION OF MIDIFLY®

Social impact

The peculiarity of MidiFly® in the field of social impact is given by the fact that it is based on a
"cause-effect" system with the possibility for the user to "create" something that goes beyond
the rehabilitation grids built ad hoc by therapists.

Children with DSA (dyslexia or other specific learning disorders) or adults with acquired
neuro-cognitive pathologies can interact with the tool and see and hear directly what they are
creating, with all the advantages that this can bring within a rehabilitation path.

There is also the possibility of being able to use the tool to work with movement to pursue
certain neuro-cognitive objectives with respect to memory, attention, divided attention, and
neurovision.

Particular importance is to be attributed to the possible use in Music Therapy, in particular to

establish a relationship with the patient, the so-called "sound dialogue", made of sounds,
images and body movement.

In DSAs and cognitive deficits in dementia, the possibility of working together with the
therapist is interesting, for example interacting to complete a song alternately, connected for
example to a video or images connected with the musical beats, working through the
"Mirroring" function.

The use of MidiFly ® will potentially be very interesting in the rehabilitative treatment of all
children affected by autism spectrum disorders, precisely because of the possibility of
reinforcing communication processes through visual-sound stimulation specifically in subjects in
whom social interaction is impaired, communication, and in which the initiative and interest in
the surrounding reality appears very limited.

All these contents can be experimented through the school of Music Therapy InArteSalus of
Schio in Italy, directed by Professor Stefano Navone and the experimental laboratory at the
faculty of Magisterio of Valencia (ES), Department of Didactics of Musical, Plastic and Body
Expression, directed by Professor Maria Angeles Bermell Corral and organized by Doctor
Mariangela Lippolis.

Social innovation

MidiFly ® innovation perfectly meets the requirements of Decree 179 of 2012, converted into
Law 221 of 2012, which identifies the sectors that innovative start-ups can deal with. It is
highlighted that MidiFly ® falls into several of these: social assistance, health care, social and
health care, education, education, training and, to a lesser extent, enhancement of cultural
heritage, research and provision of cultural services.

In conclusion, it can be assumed that in the near future MidiFly ® may represent the most
suitable intermediary object for music therapy purposes.
