Research area

Digital Health, Wellbeing & Neurotechnology

Translational research on meditation, attention and human performance through wearable sensing, real-time biofeedback, immersive environments and AI-assisted applications.

Scope

What this theme investigates

This translational theme develops tools grounded in the centre’s research on attention, contemplative practice and physiological regulation. Wearable and contactless sensing, biofeedback and immersive environments are explored as ways to support practice and measure change outside tightly controlled laboratories.

Evaluation includes efficacy, safety, privacy, accessibility and the limits of inference from personal data. The goal is useful, evidence-aware technology that supports human agency rather than replacing judgement or making ungrounded clinical claims.

Current directions

01

Sakshi Sense

An AI-assisted meditation companion integrating respiratory, motion and autonomic signals for real-time attentional biofeedback.

02

Attention-aware biofeedback

Ultra-short-term autonomic markers designed to identify mind wandering and support sustained attention.

03

Wearable and contactless monitoring

Non-compressive sensors and deep-learning analysis of breathing, movement and heart-rate variability.

04

Immersive contemplative environments

Evaluation of meditation in real and virtual settings using physiological, cognitive and affective outcomes.
