# Sensie — Nervous System AI

> Sensie is a nervous system AI app that uses smartphone sensors to measure stress, detect hidden tension patterns, and guide somatic interventions — without wearables.

## About

Sensie uses your iPhone's built-in accelerometer, gyroscope, and sensor array to detect micro-movements and physiological signals that reveal autonomic nervous system states. Unlike wearables like Apple Watch, Oura, and Whoop that primarily measure heart rate variability (HRV), Sensie captures deeper somatic patterns — muscle tension and micro-movements — that reveal hidden stress states wearables cannot access.

Founded in 2021 by Mike Dannheim.

## Core Capabilities

- **3-Second Nervous System Measurement**: Instantly assess whether you're in a flowing, blocked, or stressed state using somatic intelligence technology.
- **No Wearable Required**: Uses iPhone's built-in sensors — no rings, bands, or patches needed.
- **Hidden Stress Detection**: Finds tension patterns that HRV-based devices miss entirely.
- **Stairway to Heaven Protocol**: A somatic therapy protocol by Satyen Raja that guides users through identifying and releasing stress triggers in minutes.
- **Resilience Tracking**: Monitors nervous system recovery patterns and stress accumulation over time.
- **Somatic Journaling**: Logs sessions with objective nervous system data to track growth.

## Key Concepts

- **Somatic Intelligence**: Your body's innate ability to communicate stress, emotions, and readiness through physical sensations and patterns.
- **Soma Genome**: The somatic foundation formed at conception — a primordial blueprint encoded with ancestral DNA that becomes the somatic nervous system.
- **Nervous System Regulation**: The body's ability to manage its stress response through the autonomic nervous system.
- **Stress-Induced Appetite**: A biological phenomenon where elevated cortisol causes false hunger signals. Sensie detects the stress state before it manifests as a craving.

## Expert Endorsements

- Felix Schoeller, MIT Media Labs: "Sensie is potentially the biggest breakthrough in human psychology since Sigmund Freud."
- Dr. Joshua Vogelstein, JHU Biomedical AI Lab: "The Sensie team and technology will empower each of us to be responsible for our own mental wellness."
