The first platform that translates spiritual practice into measurable growth. Real-time biometrics. Validated science. The intelligence layer the $4.84B faith tech market is missing.
Spiritual practices have always produced real change in people's lives. What has been missing is the instrumentation to document that change at scale to build the evidence base that practitioners, clinicians, and institutions need. SoulSignal closes that gap.
Live HRV and cardiac coherence streamed during prayer via wearables. No new hardware required. Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop via standard APIs.
Peer-reviewed instruments measuring compassion, forgiveness, self-transcendence, and personality change. Science-grade. Tradition-sensitive.
Maps which practices drive which outcomes. Personalized. Predictive. Tradition-aware. The engine that turns signals into wisdom.
Real-time cardiac coherence across a praying congregation. Collective resonance, finally measured. Communal transformation, quantified.
Built for Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, and secular contemplative practices. One platform. Every path.
The Rosary Report is preparing to launch at Mass General Brigham, with stakeholder partners across the Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and broader contemplative world already engaged. The moat is being built before the first public user arrives.
Select tradition, practice type, and intention
Wearable streams live HRV and cardiac data
AI maps signals to practice in real time
Personalized report: what is transforming you
Group cardiac synchrony for communities
Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop via standard APIs. HRV, cardiac coherence, sleep, voice.
Optional EEG: brain state during prayer: focus, alpha/theta rhythms, contemplative depth.
Vagus nerve stimulation integrated with practice data. Precision contemplative therapeutics.
From wearable to wisdom. From signal to soul.
The platforms serving faith communities have scale. What none of them have is outcome intelligence. The ability to tell users whether their practice is actually working. That's a structural gap every major platform in this space is quietly looking to fill. SoulSignal isn't competing with them. It's becoming the layer they need.
| Platform | Scale | What They Lack | SoulSignal Provides |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hallow | 10M+ users · $33.4M rev | Practice-to-outcome mapping | ✓ |
| YouVersion | 500M+ downloads | Biometric integration | ✓ |
| Calm / Headspace | $4B+ combined valuation | Spiritual formation framework | ✓ |
| AppsForBharat | 30M+ downloads | Personalized spiritual guidance | ✓ |
| Co-Star | 20M+ users | Scientific credibility | ✓ |
The immediate goal is straightforward: get the app into people's hands and start building the data. That data generates publications. Publications generate authority. Authority is what opens every door that follows. This is a phased model where each stage funds and unlocks the next.
Two independent Templeton World Charity Foundation grants. Years of peer-reviewed research into centering prayer, lovingkindness meditation, and the Prayer of the Heart. A nationally-representative psychospiritual database of over 1,000 participants. More than $500,000 in grant and philanthropic investment, alongside thousands of hours of scholarship by Dr. Ferguson and his colleagues. SoulSignal does not begin at zero. It begins at the frontier.
Launch the app. Grow the user base. Generate the peer-reviewed evidence base that no one in this space has. The Rosary Report is preparing to go live at Mass General Brigham, with stakeholder partners throughout the religious and spiritual world already engaged. The moat is being built. This funding accelerates it.
A published, Harvard-anchored scientific record changes the conversation with every major faith platform. They have the users. We have what their users need. B2B licensing agreements with Hallow, YouVersion, and AppsForBharat become realistic once the science is in print.
As we scale to 80,000+ users, we are building the world's first spiritual biometric biobank. A dataset that becomes indispensable to researchers, clinicians, wearable manufacturers, and healthcare systems navigating the $4.5T wellness market. This opportunity only becomes accessible once Phases 1 and 2 are complete.
At 10x SaaS multiple: $126M+ implied valuation at Year 5.
Before a single seed dollar, this team has already built the scientific infrastructure most startups spend years trying to establish. The runway exists. The credibility is in print. The data is being collected right now.
Representing over a half million dollars in prior investment across Templeton World Charity Foundation grants, MGB research funding, and Harvard Medical scientist resources. This infrastructure does not have to be built from scratch.
Over 1,000 participants from nationally-representative samples. The largest dataset of its kind bridging validated spiritual assessment, biometric data, and psychological outcome measures.
The Rosary Report is preparing to go live at Mass General Brigham. The study design is complete, the instruments are validated, and stakeholder partners throughout the religious and spiritual world are engaged. This is the proof-of-concept most seed rounds are still trying to design.
Active submissions to leading journals including JAMA and Biological Psychiatry. A published record of spiritual neuroscience that has no peer in the faith technology space.
TWCF-funded research establishing the scientific credibility of contemplative practice measurement. Funding bodies at the frontier of science and spirituality have already validated this work.
Pioneering lesion network mapping of spiritual experience. Published findings on the neural basis of self-transcendence, compassion, and forgiveness. The scientific moat is already real.
The core team brings a combination of credentials, institutional standing, and lived experience that cannot be replicated by hiring engineers or licensing technology.
Rosary Report launch at MGB. Data collection and analysis. Submit findings to JAMA or Science.
MGB PR campaign. Free app launch with 3,200 users. First platform licensing agreements signed.
Biofeedback integration. Enterprise contracts. 16K+ paid users. Series A preparation.
Closed-loop EEG-vagus nerve stimulation. Precision contemplative therapeutics. Global infrastructure.
The science infrastructure is already built. The Rosary Report is preparing to launch. The publishing pipeline is active. This $150K seed doesn't build from zero. It accelerates something already in motion, anchored by half a million dollars in prior investment and a Harvard Medical scientist research program with years of runway behind it.

"For all of human history, the inner life has been the one frontier science could not illuminate. Now, we are building the instrument that brings scientific intelligence to spirituality, for every tradition, every seeker, every community on earth."
This is the most important unmeasured aspect of human life.
We are measuring it for the sake of spiritual intelligence.
