Our Mission
Where Science Meets Innovation
HEART Labs exists to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application. We take complex psychological theories and translate them into tools that actually work in the real world.
Our interdisciplinary team includes psychologists, data scientists, UX researchers, and software engineers — all working together to create solutions that are both scientifically sound and user-friendly.
Our Focus Areas
- Attachment Theory in AI — Building AI that understands and responds to relational dynamics
- Measurement Innovation — Creating new metrics for psychological safety and growth
- Protocol Development — Designing evidence-based intervention frameworks
- Open Science — Publishing our findings and methodologies openly
Research Pipeline
How We Work
Every project follows our rigorous Open → Explore → Close → Repair methodology.
1
Open
Define the question. Set hypotheses. Pre-register the study design.
2
Explore
Collect data. Run experiments. Test assumptions against reality.
3
Close
Analyze results. Draw conclusions. Document learnings.
4
Repair
Address gaps. Iterate on failures. Strengthen the model.
AI-Native Prototypes
Meet Our AI Personas
Copilots and personas that operationalize HEART across education, sales, and care. Each one is designed with attachment-aware feedback and trust signals built in.

- Consent as gradient
- Privacy-first design
Metrics That Matter
Measuring What Counts
Traditional metrics miss the nuance of human growth. We've developed new ways to capture the changes that really matter.
Exploration Threshold
How safe does someone feel to try new things?
Co-Regulation Index
How well do team members calm and support each other?
Repair Velocity
How quickly are ruptures acknowledged and mended?
Learning Rate
How fast is new information integrated without overwhelm?
Sample Dashboard
Real-time insights into team psychological safety and growth patterns.
