From paper to platform
BAM is built on an issued US patent that protects the closed loop at the heart of biometric-awareness training — and the four-state color language that makes your physiology legible. Coming soon to the Apple Vision Pro App Store.
An idea, examined and issued
US Patent 12,109,041 B2 was issued on October 8, 2024 to cofounders Gonzalo De La Torre and Marianna Budnikova. It protects two things working together: a closed-loop method for biometric-awareness training, and the four-state color system that turns live physiology into something you can read at a glance. Authored by the people building the platform — not licensed in, not bolted on.
The patent powers the closed loop across all three modes — Wellness, Therapy, and Performance.
The closed loop, claim by claim
TrackRead live signals from Apple Watch and iPhone through HealthKit — heart rate, variability, and the rhythm of the breath.
EvaluateInterpret that stream against your own baseline to place you on the four-state scale, moment to moment.
AdaptDeliver the next spatial cue on Apple Vision Pro based on where you actually are — not a fixed script.
Re-measureRead the response and close the loop, so each session learns from the last instead of repeating it.
Four states, one language
The patent protects a four-state color scale that maps your physiological state to a single, glanceable signal — green for parasympathetic baseline and growth, yellow for mild activation, orange for caution, red for high activation. The same language runs across Wellness, Therapy, and Performance, and across every device. It is the most protected design element in the platform.

What the patent is, and isn't
A patent protects an invention — it is not a medical clearance, and BAM does not claim to be one. BAM is a wellness and training platform. Therapy mode is a somatic-awareness practice, not licensed clinical care and not a replacement for it. What this grant secures is the method and the visual language behind measurable physiological awareness — the engineering, protected from the filing of the provisional in September 2020 to the grant in October 2024.
