The same protocol, delivered the same way, to every participant.
Breath interventions are hard to study because delivery drifts. Vayu gives you a fixed protocol on the participant's own phone or watch, timestamped adherence, and exportable session and HRV data. We're running one study already and we're open to more.
Vayu is a wellbeing app, not a medical device. Any clinical study design and ethics approval sits with your institution.
One study, under peer review
Backed by world-class universities and government institutions. A general adult cohort, four to six weeks. A medRxiv preprint is available on request.
What it does not yet cover: clinical populations, patient cohorts, controlled comparison against an active control, and anything longer than six weeks. Those are the gaps we would like collaborators for, and we would rather name them here than in a footnote.
What the platform gives a study
Four things that are usually the expensive part of running a breath intervention across a cohort.
Fixed delivery
Ratios, hold times, session length and cue pacing are set once and identical for every participant in an arm. No instructor variance.
Adherence you can see
Timestamped session starts, completions and drop-offs per participant ID, so adherence is measured rather than self-reported.
Arms and conditions
Multiple protocol arms in one deployment, including an active control, assigned by code at enrolment.
Exportable data
Session logs, watch-derived HRV and resting HR where available, and mood entries, exported as CSV against pseudonymous IDs you control.
How a collaboration works
The design is yours. We supply the instrument and the data, and we don't gate publication.
A call to work out whether the platform can actually answer what you want to ask, and to say so if it can't.
We configure the protocols to your specification, including any active control, and hand you enrolment codes.
Ethics, consent, recruitment and analysis sit with your institution. We hold no participant identities.
No approval right over findings and no embargo on a null result. We would rather know.
Tell us what you want to ask.
A short note on the population, the question and the timeline is enough to start. If the platform is the wrong instrument for it, we will say so on the first call.
