The science behind the system.

Momomoon runs on one idea: your body registers stress before your mind names it, and those signals can be read, interpreted, and acted on. Here’s the science under each part of the system.

Reading the signals

HRV. Heart rate variability is the millisecond-level difference between consecutive beats — the cleanest live read on your autonomic nervous system. We watch the dynamics, not single readings, so we catch the inflection before it becomes a peak.

Multi-signal sensing. HRV alone is noisy. Pairing it with heart rate, motion, sleep, and temperature reduces false positives and surfaces real shifts. The system reads the chord, not a single note.

Context and baselines.Physiology without context isn’t actionable. We cross-reference your calendar, routines, and learned baselines so a spike at 9 AM after a late Sunday is treated differently from one at 4 PM after a hard call.

Intervening, not just alerting

The reset.Slow, exhale-led breathing is one of the most direct levers on the parasympathetic nervous system — it raises vagal tone and pulls you down off a stress peak. The 1–2 minute haptic reset guides that breathing with subtle vibration, no screen required.

Short by design.A brief, well-timed interruption is easier to sustain than a long sit-down session, and it lands while the spike is still forming — when it’s cheapest to interrupt. The goal is to close the loop in the moment, not to add another practice to your day.

Momo, grounded in your signals

Momo doesn’t answer from a generic script. It reads your context — recent physiology, what’s on your calendar, and what it has learned about you over time — and responds to your actual state. The same sentence means something different at 9 AM on no sleep than at 4 PM after a hard call, and Momo is built to tell the difference.

The Lenses

The Drawingadapts the House-Tree-Person test — a projective drawing method clinicians have used for more than 75 years — where what you draw surfaces what’s harder to put into words. We pair that lineage with a trait model validated against a 10,000-user simulation, so the reading stays consistent and reproducible. It’s a mirror for reflection, not a clinical diagnosis. CBT-grounded Lenses are next: structured, evidence-based frames for working through what the signals reveal.

Learning your patterns

The system builds a personal baseline and gets sharper the longer you use it — separating your normal from your elevated, and surfacing the patterns that repeat: the pre-meeting ramp, the post-travel shift, the 3 PM wall. Those patterns roll up into your timeline and weekly insights so the response gets more precise over time.
