The present application provides an AI-based system for evaluating an individual's mindfulness (e.g., during prayer) based on video captured of the individual. In one example, the video may be captured via a smart phone. The individual's mindfulness may be continually evaluated from the captured video by observing the individual's body pose and movements. For instance, turning the individual's head to one side or moving the individual's eyes around rapidly can be signs of losing focus. Body pose and movement information of an individual may be derived from the video through AI-based video analytics. The user's body pose and movements may be checked against a set of predefined criteria for mindfulness, and an objective evaluation may be provided. Such evaluation can then be fed back to the individual, for example, to remind the individual whenever they lose focus during prayer.
