Planned Research Programs
The following research programs are in planning or early development. Status labels reflect where each program stands today — proposed, planned, or in development — not enrollment, IRB approval, or completed findings.
No program listed below has completed IRB review, published results, or regulatory clearance unless explicitly stated. Status labels describe internal program readiness only.
| Program | Status | Research focus |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Women's Health & HRV |
Planned | Investigating HRV and autonomic signal patterns across the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and fertility-related physiological states. |
| 02 Primary Care & Early Physiological Signals |
Planned | Exploring whether short physiological assessments can supplement routine primary care visits as an additional data point for clinicians. |
| 03 Mental Health & Autonomic Regulation |
In Development | Draft protocol infrastructure exploring HRV-derived features alongside participant-reported state outcomes in real-world settings. |
| 04 Acupuncture & Meridian Research |
Proposed | Proposed inquiry into autonomic and HRV correlates observed in conjunction with acupuncture and integrative medicine practice. |
| 05 Intervention Response Studies |
Proposed | Proposed research into physiological response patterns associated with clinical, behavioral, or pharmacological interventions. |
| 06 Population Health & Risk Prediction |
Proposed | Proposed exploration of physiological signal aggregation for population-level research, independent of any individual diagnostic use. |
