The problem
Most people don't understand stress. Burnout, HRV, sleep, recovery, attention, and trauma are widely misunderstood. Wellness content is often vague or dogmatic; clinical content is often inaccessible.
The product
Clear, evidence-based education on the nervous system: articles, animations, breathing exercises, HRV, polyvagal theory, stress recovery, performance, emotional regulation, sleep optimization, nature exposure, cold/heat therapy, and exercise. Eventually: a daily protocol, HRV tracker, breathing timer, coherence score, and wearable integration.

Relationship to Coherence Hub
Physiological coherence becomes one module of the Coherence Hub. A therapist who finds NervousSystemLab looking for HRV resources can, over time, discover the broader framework without needing to buy into a worldview first.
Proposed entities (standalone)
LabModule
An educational module (article, animation, or exercise) with evidence references and difficulty level.
BreathingProtocol
A structured breathing protocol with inhale/hold/exhale pattern and intended effect.
HRVReading
An optional user HRV reading (from manual entry or wearable import) with timestamp.
DailyProtocol
A personalized daily regulation protocol assembled from lab modules.
Proposed pages (standalone)

Proposed backend functions
- generateDailyProtocol — assemble a protocol from user goals & HRV
- importWearableHRV — ingest HRV data from a wearable (future)
- scoreCoherence — compute a physiological coherence score from readings
- generateLabModule — draft a new educational module from a research source
Tech stack
Base44 entities + functions, React + Tailwind, InvokeLLM for module generation, optional wearable integration via backend functions. Designed to run on its own domain (nervoussystemlab.org) with its own database.
This spec is designed so NervousSystemLab can be extracted into its own Base44 app — its own domain, entities, and functions — while remaining a feeder into the Coherence Hub ecosystem.
