76.8% of Dojo Meditation Sessions Lowered Heart Rate in Early Wearable Analysis

Published

June 24, 2026

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dojo, the AI-native consciousness training platform behind a guided meditation and mindfulness app focused on measurable personalization, today released early findings from “The State of Meditation 2026: What Actually Calms the Human Body,” an aggregate analysis of first-party meditation session data with second-by-second heart-rate measurement that was cleaned into research-ready session metrics.

Across hundreds of qualified meditation sessions, heart rate decreased in 76.8% of sessions. The average heart-rate drop was 6.5 beats per minute, the median heart-rate drop was 5.11 beats per minute, and the median time to first heart-rate decrease was 1.0 minute. On average, sessions reached their minimum heart rate after 7.63 minutes. Among sessions with resting-heart-rate data, 27.0% went below the user’s recorded resting heart rate during meditation.

Dojo created the analysis to better understand how meditation affects the body during real practice sessions. The company analyzed completed meditation sessions with sufficient per-minute heart-rate coverage from H1 2026, using anonymized aggregate data from its research warehouse. Sessions without enough usable physiological data were excluded from the research cohort.

“Meditation should be measurable,” said Asaf Shamir, Founder and CEO of Dojo. “People should be able to see when their body is responding, not just guess whether a practice worked. Heart rate is not the whole story, but it gives us a real physiological signal that can help make meditation more concrete.”

Meditation is often described through subjective experience: calmer, clearer, less reactive, or more grounded. Dojo’s research adds a physiological layer by looking at how the body changes second by second during actual sessions. In the analyzed dataset, the average session duration was 12.36 minutes, the median first heart-rate decrease occurred after 1.0 minute, and the average session reached its minimum heart rate after 7.63 minutes.

Dojo is built for people who want more than static audio libraries. The company creates personalized meditation sessions that adapt based on user goals, preferences, and physiological signals such as heart rate. The product is designed to help users discover which meditation exercises and techniques, from focus and visualization to breath work, body scans, and other practice structures, appear to shift their state.

“People should not have to guess what works for them,” said Shamir. “The future of AI meditation is not just generating more audio. It is building a feedback loop between the mind, the body, and the practice, so each person can train in a way that reflects their real response.”

The strongest aggregate finding was that 76.8% of research-qualified sessions lowered heart rate from the beginning of the session to the end. The analysis also found that sessions had an average start heart rate of 73.64 bpm and an average end heart rate of 67.14 bpm. The average absolute heart-rate change was 8.96 bpm, and the average largest heart-rate drop from session start was 11.37 bpm. Dojo also analyzed resting-heart-rate response where that data was available. In sessions with resting-heart-rate data, 27.0% went below the user’s recorded resting heart rate, with a median time to first below-resting-heart-rate point of 2.0 minutes. This release focuses on the strongest aggregate findings from sessions that met Dojo’s data-quality criteria. More detailed breakdowns by session length, meditation technique, time of day, and experience level are reserved for future reports.

The analysis was conducted on anonymized aggregate data and designed to protect user data privacy rights. Dojo used completed sessions with sufficient heart-rate coverage and treated missing heart-rate data as missing rather than inferred. The dataset includes heart-rate data, but Dojo is not making device-specific claims from this analysis. The report focuses on aggregate physiological response during meditation rather than comparisons by device type or demographic segment.

Dojo’s long-term goal is to make meditation more personalized, measurable, and responsive. Through AI-guided session generation and physiological feedback, the company is developing a system that can help users understand which practices are most likely to support calm, focus, emotional regulation, sleep preparation, recovery, and stress reduction.

“AI can personalize mind training in a way static content never could,” said Shamir. “If the system can learn from what someone says they need and how their body responds, meditation can become less generic and more useful.”

Available as a meditation app for iOS, Dojo supports custom meditation, breath work, body scan meditation, meditation music, meditation with binaural beats, morning meditation, evening meditation, meditation for sleep, meditation for gratitude, and energizing breath-work. The app is designed for both meditation beginners and advanced users who want a personal meditation guide that can respond to their goals and physiological feedback.

LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions Introduces Field Clarity for LexisNexis® Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) at IACP 2026

Published

5 hours ago

October 25, 2026

A new, modern DORS and Field Clarity, the First AI-Guided Smartphone Video Assistant, Enhances Community Experience and Helps Improve Evidence, Case Building

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Coplogic™ Solutions today announced its modernized LexisNexis® Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) community online reporting solution and the addition of DORS with Field Clarity, an AI-guided video assistant designed to improve field documentation accuracy and enable faster resolution by law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Field Clarity is designed to help community members submit reports to their local LEAs using DORS via intuitive step-by-step instructions. A hands-on experience for DORS with Field Clarity will be available for demonstration during the 2026 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) annual conference.

“Agencies generally look to strategic partners like us not just for technology, but also for relief, reinforcement, and credibility across three tightly connected challenges: public expectation, workforce strain and digital evidence overload,” said Jason LaRue, associate vice president, LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions. “Our modernized LexisNexis Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS) helps agencies improve officer safety along with community member experiences. Field Clarity strengthens video evidence quality and digital evidence management to reduce friction and alleviate strain on a challenged workforce.”

Key Highlights
Integrated into LexisNexis® Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS), Field Clarity is the first AI-Guided video assistant for community member online reporting that:

Transforms data capture from passive intake into intelligent, guided capture to help create more positive officer and civilian mobile-first experiencesDrives more accurate field documentation, evidence and case building to help with faster resolution and enhanced public safetyBenefits civilians submitting reports with intuitive, step-by-step instructions, almost like having a digital assistant with them in real timeBenefits officers by bringing video, photos and scanned data together for a clearer picture of an event without the need to track down additional details

How the DORS with Field Clarity Solution Works
DORS allows each law enforcement agency to collect information directly from civilians on more than 200 incident types based on the needs of their community. DORS and Field Clarity make the filing of an online report experience easier by guiding users intuitively through each step of the process on their smartphone device, similar to having a personal digital assistant. Instead of asking a driver, for example, to fill out forms and guess what’s needed, the Field Clarity conversational interface prompts them to scan their driver’s license, capture a VIN or record a short walkaround video explaining what happened during the incident, all while capturing the data necessary to complete the report.

For civilians, being able to easily film on-scene evidence means less confusion and need for reentries or follow-up by the sworn officer responsible for approving reports. For officers, the benefits include cleaner, more complete accident reports and less time spent requesting and gathering additional details. With reports fed directly into the agency’s Record Management System (RMS), law enforcement also benefits from more efficient workflows and stronger documented cases for their investigators. DORS is used by nearly 600 agencies in North America, saving agencies approximately 900,000 personnel hours and $90 million annually*

“Trust in law enforcement is built one interaction at a time. Every opportunity for a community member to engage with their police department matters, including something as routine as filing a report,” said Sarah E. Connolly, co-founder of Guardian Communications, FBI-LEEDA instructor and retired Baltimore Police lieutenant and PIO. “When technology makes that process easier, improves the quality of information collected and supports a more responsive agency, it has the potential to do more than improve efficiency. It can help strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve.”

LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions delivers solutions and capabilities that can create a clearer line of sight from the field to law enforcement leadership, strengthening the connection between daily operations, workforce support, data management and community trust. DORS with Field Clarity is available through LexisNexis® Command Center, a single access point to the LexisNexis Coplogic Solutions data and analytics solutions suite, including LexisNexis® BuyCrash®, LexisNexis® eCrash and LexisNexis® eCitation solutions. Coplogic Solutions also offers Unified Performance Dashboards for crash and citation mapping and illustrated visualizations, which connect field data with contextual insight in a single, coherent view – so law enforcement leaders can better understand and more confidently explain to their communities not just what is happening in near-real time, but also why.
