Today’s the day. NeuralPositive music with our distribution is now part of the long-haul onboard experience with LOT Polish Airlines, a Star Alliance member.

See you onboard ✈️

For several months now, we’ve been working with the NeuralPositive team on combining our capabilities and developing joint projects around science-informed sound. One of the first outcomes of this collaboration is now available to passengers flying long-haul with LOT Polish Airlines, a Star Alliance member.

This became possible thanks to LOT’s openness to innovation and their willingness to trust approaches grounded in research. Together, we introduced purpose-composed playlists designed to support passengers during long journeys.

The idea is simple: use carefully designed sound to help address some of the most common challenges of long-haul travel, including:

🎶 relaxation during the flight
🎶 better rest on long routes
🎶 reduced stress during demanding moments of the journey
🎶 smoother adjustment to time zone changes

Projects like this show how research and thoughtful design can move beyond labs and apps - and become part of real-world environments such as air travel.

Follow Calmsie to learn more about the projects we’re working on. And if you’re flying long-haul soon, we invite you on board LOT Polish Airlines.

See you - or rather hear you - in the skies ✈️

In science, it’s easy to get stuck in papers, protocols, and deadlines.
Harder - but far more important - is to ask:❓who is this for❓

That question was at the heart of the 3rd Science for Society Congress in Warsaw — a rare event that doesn’t just celebrate innovation, but challenges us to make it useful. Grounded. Human.

We met people building tools for real problems: in schools, hospitals, clinics, universities. We heard powerful stories from those who bridge research and real life. And we had the privilege of contributing our perspective on child and adolescent mental health - a field where science isn’t a luxury, it’s a lifeline.

Thank you, Professor Henryk Skarżyński and Dr Maciej Kawecki, for the invitation and for curating a space where science is not only respected, but expected to serve society. That mindset is not common - and it’s desperately needed.

We were also truly honored to receive a commemorative medal 🏅
It’s more than a symbol. It’s a reminder of the responsibility we carry.

🚀 And yes, it now has a well-earned spot on our shelf of milestones! 🚀

A great pitch during a demo day isn’t just about a compelling story, it's even not just about strong traction, a bold vision, and proof that it’s achievable. It’s the result of relentless daily work - by the team, by the mentors who shared their expertise, and... in this case by the people who made the acceleration program possible.

That’s why winning 3 out of 4 awards at the StartSmart CEE MIT GSW Demo Day during the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Conference means so much to us at Calmsie. We’re grateful for:
🏆 the Jury Main Award
🏆 the Audience Award..and the CVC fund for recognizing our work with
🏆 the Young Innovator Award.

A huge shout-out to MY OVU for taking home the fourth award - well deserved for not only building something amazing but also for being a true team player, always supporting fellow founders in the cohort.
