Accuracy and limitations
9 in 10
When our latest model says your body clearly settled, it agrees with the reference 9 times out of 10.
Tested on three public research datasets from PhysioNet: 71 people, about 3,000 minutes (51 hours) of recordings the model had never seen.
Key points
- What the number means: among the meditations where Anlan says your body clearly settled, 9 in 10 agree with the reference answer.
- The reference: worked out from lab-grade heart and breathing recordings, using the same definition of a settled body.
- How it was tested: on public research datasets that were kept out of training entirely: Fantasia, CEBS and Meditation, from PhysioNet.
- How long is the hardest part. That's why Anlan says about how long your body stayed settled, and rounds every time to the minute.
- Real-world validation continues. The test data are public research recordings, not Apple Watch meditations. Every model update is also checked against real Apple Watch meditations, and we'll update this page as results come in.
What Anlan doesn't judge
Focus, meditation depth and your state of mind. Anlan estimates what your body did, nothing more.
Not a medical device
Anlan is not a medical device. Results are estimates. If you have concerns about your health, talk to a doctor.
Data sources
Anlan's model contains information from the Fantasia Database, the CEBS Database (Combined measurement of ECG, Breathing and Seismocardiograms) and the Heart Rate Oscillations during Meditation database, available from PhysioNet under the Open Data Commons Attribution License v1.0.
