What is Autonomic™?
When we concentrate, make decisions, or sustain attention, the body responds automatically—adjusting heart rate, breathing, and nervous system activity. Autonomic™ measures these involuntary physiological responses to show how mental effort affects the body in real time.
EXAMPLE USES
Surveys capture perception; Autonomic™
measures physiological reality.

How Autonomic™ Works
One system. One reflex. Structured insights and real-time awareness.
Provoked. Controlled. Deep insight.
A customizable cognitive assessment — spanning decision-making, attention, and memory — captures the body's involuntary response to mental effort. The result: an individualized report of over 150 metrics across cognitive performance, stress, risk factors, and self-awareness, designed to maintain or improve health and performance with quantifiable data.
Continuous. Naturalistic. In the wild.
Autonomic™ pairs a mobile app with a lightweight wearable ECG sensor to continuously measure cognitive workload and stress during real-world activities — without surveys, interviews, or supervision. Users can label activities in real time for comprehensive after-action review, enabling insight during training, field operations, simulations, or everyday work.
Used by the U.S. Army, Autonomic™ helps decision-makers design technologies that enhance performance without overloading the human operator.
Read the Case StudyHow the U.S. Army Evaluated Human Impact of New Technologies
Autonomic™ was used by the U.S. Army to evaluate emerging vehicle technologies before further development—not just for performance, but for human cognitive burden.
Autonomic™ established each operator’s baseline cognitive profile and risk factors using a structured assessment. Then, during realistic simulations, it continuously measured real-time cognitive workload as soldiers interacted with new displays, AI tools, and controls.
The Result:
Objective evidence showing which technologies improved performance, which increased cognitive strain, and where designs could be individualized or redesigned—all documented in technical evaluation reports that informed go/no-go decisions.
This same approach applies anywhere humans interact with complex systems: vehicles, software, AI tools, training platforms, or operational workflows.
