Intelligent Wellness Glossary.

Clear, evidence-backed definitions of the key concepts, optical biometrics, and physiological terms powering modern preventive wellness.

Avyora

Platform & Entity

An intelligent wellness platform and personal companion that empowers individuals and families with contextual, preventive guidance using optical camera vitals, circadian chronobiology, and habit check-ins with complete data privacy.

Intelligent Wellness

Core Concept

A proactive health paradigm combining multimodal biological signals (contactless camera vitals, wearables, chronobiology) with contextual AI to predict energy patterns and encourage healthy daily micro-habits.

Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG)

Biometrics

An optical camera-based technique that measures cardiovascular pulse waveforms by detecting minute, microscopic color variations in ambient light reflected from facial microvascular skin beds.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV / RMSSD)

Autonomic Health

The variation in time intervals between consecutive heartbeats (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences). A key biomarker of parasympathetic nervous system tone, recovery, and stress resilience.

Circadian Rhythm

Chronobiology

The endogenous ~24-hour biological oscillation governing sleep-wake cycles, cortisol awakening surges, core body temperature, and metabolic energy peaks.

Resonant Coherent Breathing (6 BPM)

Breathwork

A conscious breathing rate of approximately 6 breaths per minute (~0.1 Hz) that synchronizes heart rate variability with respiratory sinus arrhythmia to stimulate vagal tone and induce calm.

K-Anonymity

Data Privacy

A mathematical privacy standard ensuring that individual health records in an aggregate dataset cannot be distinguished from at least k-1 other individuals within the same cohort.
