Filboost
Provides scientifically-designed soundscapes that enhance focus and concentration by influencing emotions and cognition, tailored to individual moods and work needs.
Filboost is a digital wellness company that provides a web application designed to enhance concentration, stimulate creativity, and support mental health through the use of sound. The service is aimed at a broad clientele, including students, professionals who work in front of screens, and scientific researchers.
The company was co-founded by Myriam Blouet, the CEO, and David Lauret, the CTO. Blouet brings two decades of experience in financial and HR management within small to medium-sized enterprises, providing a strong operational and financial backbone to the venture. Lauret's 17 years in R&D as an acoustic engineer form the scientific core of the product, directly influencing the creation of the platform's soundscapes. The founding team's expertise is complemented by a sound designer and a doctor of cognitive psychology, ensuring the product is both artfully crafted and scientifically grounded.
The core of Filboost's offering is its library of original sound creations. These are not merely musical tracks but are developed based on scientific principles to positively affect the brain, aiming to soothe users and trigger dopamine release. The platform's effectiveness is backed by studies conducted with the SCALab, a CNRS laboratory at the University of Lille. The business operates on a subscription-based model, offering a 15-day free trial to new users. For the research community, Filboost provides a specialized service, "Filboost For Research," which offers high-quality, controllable, and modifiable musical stimuli for experimental use, solving common issues such as copyright and inconsistent audio quality in scientific studies. A key feature is its proprietary audio compression, which is engineered to be different from standard streaming services to preserve users' hearing during prolonged use.
