Remote therapeutic monitoring · Youth mental health
Care happens in sessions. Decline happens in between.
Tunr is the longitudinal intelligence layer for youth mental health. We turn the music young people already listen to into continuous, clinical-grade signal — so care teams can see treatment adherence and emotional decline before the next appointment.
The problem
A generation is struggling, and clinicians are flying blind between visits.
Youth don't open mental health apps, and they rarely say when things are getting worse. By the time symptoms surface in a session, the window for early intervention has closed.

of U.S. high school students report persistent sadness or hopelessness.

2.5 hrs
a day young people already spend with music, their first coping tool.
[Add source]
They aren't using mental health apps. They're using music to cope. The behavior is already there — the insight isn't.
How it works
From headphones to clinical insight, without a new habit.
-
1
Tune in
Youth listen the way they already do. A 30-second vibe check and a short music ritual turn passive listening into a daily, stigma-free touchpoint.
-
2
Build the baseline
Tunr learns each person's emotional baseline from mood and energy check-ins, listening patterns and ritual adherence — then watches for meaningful deviation.
-
3
Act earlier
Care teams see adherence, trends and risk flags between visits, with tiered, consent-based escalation when a young person needs more support.
For young people
Your music is trying to tell you something.
- A daily music ritual that matches your mood
- Patterns about yourself you didn't know were there
- No journaling walls, no clinical language, no public sharing
- You see your data first — and decide who else does
For care teams
Visibility between visits, without more work.
- Passive treatment-adherence tracking
- Longitudinal mood and energy trends per patient
- Early-warning flags on sustained deviation from baseline
- Reporting designed to support remote therapeutic monitoring workflows
Clinical intelligence
Know who needs you this week.
Tunr ranks a caseload by change, not by appointment date. Clinicians open the week knowing who is drifting, who stopped engaging and who is on track.
- Adherence
- Ritual completion and engagement drop-off over time.
- Trajectory
- Mood, energy and volatility against each patient's own baseline.
- Signal
- Shifts in listening — valence, repetition, time of day — that precede self-report.
