About Us

In December 2013, during a New Year’s meditation retreat in upstate New York, Sab Kanaujia, a veteran digital media entrepreneur at a personal inflection point, met three people who would profoundly shape his life and work.

The retreat was led by Bob Thurman and Sharon Salzberg, pioneers of mindfulness in the West. Also present was a humanitarian officer from the United Nations, whom Sab would marry within ten months. Sharon later became godmother to their first daughter.

That retreat marked a turning point. Committed to a more purpose-driven life, Sab left the media industry to explore how technology could improve human wellbeing. With Bob’s guidance, he founded Mindwell Labs in August 2019 as a consumer mental health company, with its name suggested by Bob’s wife, Nena.

Over time, Sab recognized a deeper parallel between his work in media and the state of modern healthcare. Just as media had evolved from static, population-based broadcasting to personalized, real-time experiences using user data, healthcare remained largely reactive, relying on population averages from panels and scans. He saw that transforming healthcare would require a new class of continuous, individual-level data. In November 2024, he launched Autonomic Health with an expanded team, grounded in the belief that autonomic nervous system data is the missing foundation for truly personalized, preventive care.
