With the rapid development of modern technology, digital transformation is the key to establishing the NSO's cultural influence in a post-epidemic era. In order to achieve this, Music Lab conducted a market survey on music-related apps and identified a gap in the market in the social inclusion space.

As such, Music Lab developed a mobile app to stream podcasts showcasing the expert opinions of doctors, case managers, and experts in various fields, as well as their live interviews with dementia patients and their caregivers. The app also features a user interface and functionalities that are elderly-friendly. In addition, the app also streams exclusive NSO concert recordings, the latest updates on NSO concerts, and a unique toolbox of complementary therapies called Heal. The NSO's goal for the app will also raise public awareness about health issues such as dementia.

More recent updates include a "resource toolkit" function inside the app that allows caregivers and family members to engage their elderly relatives through music improvisation activities as well as converse about different musical scenarios. The virtual instruments in the "Complementary Care Resource Box" also provide a tool for family members and caregivers to interact with the elderly, allowing them to share music and have fun together without restriction, in the hope that music and art can truly enter everyone's life.

The app also has a 'Relax' function that not only releases stress and relieves emotions, and a 'Life Story' function to allow dementia patients to record their mood changes and daily routines. The Music Lab app is designed to be barrier-free and friendly, integrating classical music into technology and into the lives of the elderly.

The different functionalities and categories of the app and podcast are:
