How Brizzy labels evidence
Each technique in Brizzy includes an evidence label based on the type, quality, and consistency of publicly available research.
Supported by stronger evidence bases such as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, or multiple independent studies with consistent findings.
Supported by promising peer-reviewed studies, but the evidence base is smaller, mixed, or still needs replication.
Early or low-volume evidence suggests potential benefit, but confidence remains limited.
Widely used in traditional disciplines or coaching practice, with limited formal clinical research today.
How we assign labels
Brizzy reviews publicly available peer-reviewed literature and weighs the type of evidence, study quality, consistency of findings, and whether results have been independently replicated.
- Higher labels are generally reserved for stronger evidence bases such as systematic reviews or multiple independent studies.
- Lower labels reflect earlier, smaller, mixed, or less replicated research.
- Traditional labels are used for practices with long-standing use but limited formal clinical study.

- Each technique card includes a compact evidence marker.
- Hover or tap to see the full label.
- Where relevant, evidence summaries can be linked from the technique page.
What the label does not mean
An evidence label reflects the current strength of published research behind a technique. It does not guarantee outcomes for every person and does not replace medical care where appropriate.
Brizzy does not conduct clinical trials and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Evidence labels reflect our interpretation of publicly available research and may change over time.
Where Brizzy looks for research
Brizzy reviews publicly available peer-reviewed literature, evidence summaries, and reference materials from major databases, journals, and public health institutions.

A Living World of Breathing
Brizzy was created as something we genuinely wanted for ourselves - a more human, motivating, and beautiful way to learn breathing over time.
Breathing is a self-regulation tool you can carry with you for life. That is why Brizzy includes progress systems like levels, streaks, and session history, making the practice feel more engaging and worth returning to.
Some of these features already support logged-in users today. Others are part of the world we are actively building next.
A tiny future secret - the Brizzometer.
