About Auralize

Editorial team & standards

How we source, review, and publish breathwork and physiology content.

Auralize publishes evidence-aware content on breathwork, meditation, and respiratory physiology. Articles are prepared by the Auralize editorial team. Research summaries link to the primary studies and systematic reviews used, while product and program pages clearly identify themselves as Auralize documentation. We distinguish established mechanisms, early findings, and practical recommendations wherever the evidence allows.

We do not present this material as medical review or medical advice, and no clinician currently reviews every Learn article. We do not accept paid placements that influence editorial direction. Research-backed pages provide an evidence-source section linking to PubMed, PubMed Central, or the publishing journal; uncited product guidance is labelled as product documentation rather than independent clinical evidence.

Editorial standards

Primary research first. Research summaries prefer peer-reviewed studies and systematic reviews over secondary blogs or social media.
Safety language. Technique and health-adjacent pages state important contraindications, when to stop, and when to consult a medical professional.
No medical advice. Auralize is an educational and training tool. We do not diagnose, treat, or replace medical care.
Transparent updates. When research evolves, articles are updated in place and the publication date is preserved alongside a modified date.
Independent of product. Editorial decisions are not driven by which Auralize features they promote — articles link to relevant in-app sessions only when they are genuinely the best next step.

Nationally ranked tennis pro (top 5, Moldova) · Breathwork practitioner & researcher (15 yrs)
Dragos Calugar is the founder of Auralize and has spent fifteen years building technology and consumer products. He is also a nationally ranked tennis pro — top five in Moldova — where he first learned that performance under pressure is governed as much by the nervous system as by the body, and that breathing is the most direct way to reach it.
He has practiced and researched breathwork for that same fifteen years, starting with the Wim Hof method and, over time, coming to approach the breath the way a product builder approaches anything worth improving: something to measure, prescribe, train, and retest, not a one-off reset. Auralize is where those threads converge — the measurement-first breath-training experience he always wished existed, and couldn’t find, so he built it.
