Public Health Beats has received a Silver Award at the 2026 W3 Awards in the category AI Applications & Platforms – AI for Social Good.

The W3 Awards recognise excellence in digital creativity, content and experiences, with entries judged by the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts (AIVA), an international body of professionals from across the digital and creative industries. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that Public Health Beats started as a simple experiment - exploring whether music and AI could offer a different way to communicate public health.
