The critical area of research isthe preparation of a validated and standardization of questionnaires for vatakshaya, vatavriddhi, and normal functioning of vata to assess the state of vata. Guna based assessment of vata and incorporation of objectivity in assessment of vata through biological, immunological parameters is needed. Evaluation of sensory and motor function and hormonal function of the body and its correlation with functioning of various types of vata andmultiple stages of vata. Role of nutritional and lifestyle modification in the maintenance of vata. Assessment of vata state in various physiological changes like the deep sea, high altitude, space physiology, and during sleep.  </div>

'''Significance of arterial stiffness in Tridosha analysis: ''' <br/>

'''Significance of arterial stiffness in [[Tridosha|Tridosha]] analysis: ''' <br/>

The study assessed the large changes in arterial stiffness among Tridosha locales and quantified arterial stiffness using NadiTarangini, a pulse acquisition method. Significant differences were found between Tridosha locations, which can be applied to Ayurvedic interventional studies.<ref name="multiple20">Kumar PV, Deshpande S, Joshi A, More P, Nagendra HR.

'''Heart rate variability analysis in the assessment of dosha imbalance:''' <br/>

'''Heart rate variability analysis in the assessment of [[Dosha|dosha]] imbalance:''' <br/>

This study compared the spectral analysis of heart rate variability data with clinical assessment of dosha pathology in 42 study participants and found significant concordance. This study indicates the use and applicability of HRV in evaluating intricate dosha imbalances and other criteria, such as dhatu imbalance.<ref name="multiple21">Manohar PR, Sorokin O, Chacko J, Nampoothiri V.
