About

* If you are running into problems or bugs, please contact us via "Contact Developer" before writing a bad review. This widget helps you to determine and train your capacity for parasympathetic regulation. It is a biofeedback that measures and compares you heart during exhale and inhale. During exhale your heart rate rate (and blood pressure) typically declines and during inhalte it increases. This is due to the body’s homeostatic mechanism. By training at a certain breating patter of 6 breath/minute one can try to sync breathing frequency and heart rate. This might help you with fatigue and stress. NOTE: this is not a medical product, it is not meant for diagnosis! It is intended to train your baroreflex. How to start: - Download the app from the store - Open the widget and start the training - Inhale for 4 seconds and exhale for 6 seconds. Especially slow down exhalation at the beginning! - After approx. 1 Minute baroreflex score is being calculated For best use: - Chest straps are more accurate than optical HR but it works fine as well since the user hardly moves - Breathe diaphragmatically slow and low - Slow down exhalation at the beginning!
