Health care and scientific innovations have always been closely related, and HeartMath continues this pairing with its new emWave PC Stress Relief System, a computer program that helps you achieve inner balance and relieve stress in your life. Built to suit your lifestyle, emWave PC allows you to take hold of your emotions, without drastic changes to your daily schedule.
The emWave PC Stress Relief System works by reading your heart rhythms and emotions through a built-in fingertip or ear-clip sensor that plugs into your computer’s USB port. In response, you’ll get a graphical display of your heart rhythm information on your computer’s screen. From there, the program will guide you through relaxation techniques, bringing you back to a healthier, more balanced emotional state. You can watch the screen to see your heart rhythms shift in real time.

Within the program you’ll find Coherence Coach, a proprietary training method; instructions for the stress-reducing Quick Coherence technique; and Emotion Visualizer, a practice program that responds with vibrant images emitting varying degrees of color and movement as you shift your emotional state. HeartMath offers other forms of support, with more than 100 pages of educational content that includes applications for health and well being, sports performance and workplace performance, access to online forums, troubleshooting resources, a knowledge base, as well as an expansive tutorial and help system. This program has been designed to entertain as well as replenish; emWave also comes with an integrated music player and audio feedback.

HeartMath has been a leader in the field of biofeedback, and the emWave PC Stress Relief System is the latest innovation in the company’s 16 years of scientific research. Numerous studies have shown that emotions, heart function, and cognitive performance are interlinked. When our emotions are at optimal levels, our bodies feel the benefits; in times of sadness or depression, our physical state dips. It is this physiological and psychological relationship that HeartMath targets with its products. HeartMath’s findings have been published in numerous noted, peer-reviewed medical journals, including the American Journal of Cardiology, Stress Medicine, and Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Additionally, HeartMath’s client list includes NASA, Duke University Health System, Kaiser Permanente, and Cisco Systems, with even more school systems and health professionals across the United States, Europe, and Australia.
