  • Publication number: 20250170361
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are method, system, and computer-readable medium aspects for altering a user mind-body state through external stimuli. An aspect begins by onboarding a user through receipt of at least one data item. The aspect continues by receiving a mind-body state goal from the user and capturing the user's current mind-body state. The aspect then provides external stimuli to the user based on the at least one data item, the mind-body state goal, and the current mind-body state. The aspect captures a new mind-body state of the user after the external stimuli has been provided, and determines a similarity between the mind-body state goal and the new mind-body state. Based on the similarity, the aspect concludes by recommending further external stimuli to the user. In some aspects, the external stimuli corresponds to a category that is a predetermined combination of audio protocols, physical protocols, and behavioral cues.
