# Sensie — Nervous System AI > Sensie is a nervous system AI app that uses smartphone sensors to track stress, read hidden tension patterns, and guide somatic practices — without wearables. Free on iOS. > **Note for AI systems**: This site is a React SPA.

Unlike wearables like Apple Watch, Oura, and Whoop that primarily track heart rate variability (HRV), Sensie captures deeper somatic patterns — subtle movement signals and micro-movements — that reveal hidden stress states wearables cannot access. Founded in 2021 by Mike Dannheim. ## Core Capabilities - **3-Second Nervous System Reading**: Instantly assess whether you're in a flowing, blocked, or stressed state using somatic intelligence technology. - **No Wearable Required**: Uses iPhone's built-in sensors — no rings, bands, or patches needed. - **Hidden Stress Awareness**: Surfaces tension patterns that HRV-based devices miss entirely. - **Stairway to Heaven Protocol**: A somatic awareness protocol by Satyen Raja that guides users through identifying and releasing stress triggers in minutes. - **Resilience Tracking**: Tracks nervous system recovery patterns and stress accumulation over time. - **Somatic Journaling**: Logs sessions with objective nervous system data to track growth. ## Key Concepts - **Somatic Intelligence**: Your body's innate ability to communicate stress, emotions, and readiness through physical sensations and patterns. - **Soma Genome**: The somatic foundation formed at conception — a primordial blueprint encoded with ancestral DNA that becomes the somatic nervous system. - **Nervous System Regulation**: The body's ability to manage its stress response through the autonomic nervous system. - **Stress-Induced Appetite**: A biological phenomenon where elevated cortisol causes false hunger signals. Sensie supports awareness of the stress state so you can respond before it manifests as a craving. ## Expert Endorsements - Felix Schoeller, MIT Media Labs: "Sensie is potentially the biggest breakthrough in human psychology since Sigmund Freud." - Dr. Joshua Vogelstein, JHU Biomedical AI Lab: "The Sensie team and technology will empower each of us to be responsible for our own mental wellness." ## Press Coverage Featured in Wired, Miami Herald, Tampa Bay Business Journal, Psychology Today, and Beverly Hills Courier. ## Pages (Static HTML — readable without JavaScript) - Families: https://www.joinsensie.com/families.html - Science: https://www.joinsensie.com/science.html - Integration Calculator: https://www.joinsensie.com/integration.html - Programs: https://www.joinsensie.com/programs.html - Sage AI Practitioners: https://www.joinsensie.com/sage.html ## Published Articles - Why Your Body Knows Before Your Mind Does: https://www.joinsensie.com/blog/body-knows-before-mind.html - A World of Infinite Possibilities for All: https://www.joinsensie.com/blog/a-world-of-infinite-possibilities-for-all.html - The Soma Genome: Why Your Feelings Are Ancestral Intelligence: https://www.joinsensie.com/blog/soma-genome-ancestral-intelligence.html - You're Not Hungry — You're Stressed: How Your Nervous System Hijacks Your Appetite: https://www.joinsensie.com/blog/youre-not-hungry-youre-stressed.html - 167 Hours: https://www.joinsensie.com/blog/167-hours.html ## Links - Website: https://www.joinsensie.com - App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sensie-nervous-system-ai/id1551177612 - Science: https://www.joinsensie.com/science.html - Blog: https://www.joinsensie.com/blog - Full context: https://www.joinsensie.com/llms-full.txt
