Music therapy is expected to be effective for the \u2018behavioural and psychological symptoms\u2019 of dementia and thus contribute to reducing the burden of caregiving. However, the number of music therapists in Japan is very small compared to the number of elderly people with dementia, and not all elderly people with dementia in Japan have easy access to music therapy. Therefore, in order to enable elderly people with dementia to receive music therapy anytime, anywhere and as many times as possible, we are developing a virtual music therapist (AI music therapist) called \u2018Satsuki-san\u2019, who appears on a computer screen. In this paper, we report on the latest version of \u2018Satsuki-san\u2019 and collect opinions from caregivers actually engaged in the care of elderly people with dementia and music therapists with extensive clinical practice experience with elderly people with dementia. The opinions of the caregivers and music therapists showed a high level of expectation for the AI music therapist, but they also pointed out a number of problems, for example about Satsuki\u2019s speech, such as the need for more intonation. The music therapists also pointed out a number of areas for improvement with regard to singing accompaniment. In the future, we would like to collect a variety of data from the subjects of music therapy through the use of the AI music therapists and establish a music digital therapeutics that can objectively evaluate the subjects\u2019 condition and predict the progression of dementia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-031-78093-6_13","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,3]],"date-time":"2024-12-03T11:25:31Z","timestamp":1733225131000},"page":"151-166","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Research and\u00a0Development of\u00a0an\u00a0AI Music Therapist \u2013 Toward Digital Therapeutics of\u00a0Music Therapy"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2070-1360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naoko","family":"Kosugi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kentaro","family":"Ishii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9648-5193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naoki","family":"Kodama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"13_CR1","unstructured":"Edited by the Editorial Board of \u201cClinical Psychiatry\u201d.
