Federal Research & Development with Innsightful R2
Advancing Wearable-Supported Stress and Wellness Research
Innsightful R2 is a research-stage digital health platform designed to support studies of stress, sleep, mood, fatigue, cognitive performance, and app-based wellness support in military-relevant and other high-stress occupational settings.
Wearable-Supported Research for Real-World Conditions
Innsightful R2 brings together wearable data, brief self-report check-ins, cognitive tasks, and mobile wellness tools to support applied research in real-world environments. Current R2 work focuses on feasibility, usability, data collection, technical validation, and participant engagement.
SBIR-Supported R&D
Innsightful has received federal SBIR support to advance research and development of R2 and related wearable-enabled stress and wellness technologies. This work reflects Innsightful’s commitment to developing human-centered tools for stress awareness, wellness support, and applied digital health research.
SBIR funding supports research and development and does not represent government endorsement, approval, adoption, or validation of any commercial product or service.
What R2 Is Designed to Study
Stress, Sleep, Mood, and Fatigue
R2 integrates wearable data, brief check-ins, and app-based tasks to support research on stress, sleep, mood, fatigue, and daily functioning.
Cognitive Performance
R2 includes brief cognitive tasks designed to support research on attention, reaction time, processing speed, and related performance domains in real-world contexts.
App-Based Wellness Support
R2 delivers brief, self-guided wellness activities that can be evaluated in approved research protocols for usability, engagement, stress awareness, and coping support.
Human-Centered Use
R2 development focuses on how people interact with wearable devices, mobile check-ins, cognitive tasks, and wellness content over time, with attention to usability, burden, acceptability, and engagement.
Why This Research Matters
High-stress occupational environments require tools that are practical, low-burden, and adaptable to daily routines. R2 research is designed to help evaluate:
Feasible collection of wearable, self-report, and app-based data in real-world settings
Patterns related to stress, sleep, mood, fatigue, and cognitive performance
Participant engagement with brief app-based wellness activities
Usability and acceptability of mobile and wearable research tools
Implementation considerations for high-stress occupational environments
Platform Capabilities Under Development
Mobile Study Tools
Brief check-ins, cognitive tasks, and wellness-related content designed for research on usability, engagement, and feasibility.
Wearable-Integrated Research Workflows
Wearable data can be paired with participant-reported experiences and app-based tasks to support research on stress and wellness patterns.
Research Dashboards
Dashboards can support study monitoring, technical review, and analysis of aggregate or de-identified data within approved research protocols.
Future Research Applications
Future R2 research may explore additional populations and settings, subject to funding, institutional approval, privacy review, cybersecurity review, legal review, and human-subjects protections.
Research Data and Insights
R2 supports research workflows that bring together wearable data, mobile check-ins, cognitive tasks, and app-based wellness interactions. These data streams help researchers evaluate feasibility, usability, engagement, and patterns related to stress, sleep, mood, fatigue, and cognitive performance.
Data review is structured around privacy, role-based access, and de-identified or aggregate reporting consistent with applicable institutional, IRB, cybersecurity, and legal requirements.
