This paper establishes that wearable neuroscience technology can reliably predict mood and emotional states with 90% accuracy — quantifying neurophysiologic peaks and troughs in daily life to assess social-emotional engagement in real time. That is the measurement tool. GTI deploys the same platform to quantify the neurophysiologic impact of relational wellness interventions in schools and organizations — measuring metrics such as mood, emotional peaks and troughs, and social-emotional engagement before and after our programs. The result: verifiable, peer-reviewed evidence of outcomes that funders can evaluate with confidence.

How do you know a relational wellness program is working? GTI's research framework answers that question before a single session begins. Drawing on peer-reviewed neuroscience and wearable measurement technology, GTI has designed a pre/post methodology to assess shifts in mood, social-emotional engagement, trust, and classroom or organizational climate. This piece outlines the evidence base, the measurement approach, and what GTI intends to demonstrate through its school and organizational pilots.
