HeartBreath HRV vs VaYou Biofeedback Meditation Usage & Stats

Did you know that your heart beats faster during inhalation and slower during exhalation AND did you know that this is good for you? The technical term is RSA (respiratory sinus arrhythmia) - a good arrhythmia controlled by your autonomic nervous system. High variability of the heart rate stands for a good autonomic balance and activity of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relaxation nerve). HeartBreath is a biofeedback tool, that addresses exactly this relationship between breathing and heart rate. The app guides you through a simple slow-breathing exercise (with pictures and sounds), while detecting and displaying the intervals between your heartbeats. You can measure, train and evaluate your personal status. No additional hardware devices are needed. HeartBreath is able to detect heartbeats by positioning your finger on the lens of the phone’s camera. KEY FEATURES: Integrated VaYou Sound Flows, which provide an exceptional sound experience on acoustic pacing. High quality and customizable control of the bio-feedback exercise with pictures (you can work with pictures from your photo library) and sounds. Live display of the current heart rate and variability values while recording. In just a few breaths, HeartBreath is able to compute your resting heart rate. No additional hardware is needed. The calculation works with a finger on the lens of the iPhone’s (or iPod’s) camera (for iPad only device models with flash). Optionally, an external heart rate monitor can be used. For compatible devices (Polar H10) display/recording/evaluation of true ECG data is supported. As a special extra, the app allows the comparison of data between the finger on the camera and the heart rate monitor. Unlike many other HRV apps, HeartBreath offers a precise visualization for every single heartbeat and, if necessary, tools for interactive correction of the beats. This is very important for the high reliability of HRV parameters, since single ectopic heartbeats or data artifacts can result in strange adulteration of HRV values. Integrated tools to determine your optimal breathing speed. Various studies show that each person has an individual optimal RSA breathing rate in the range between 4 and 7 breaths per minute. Trend evaluations over longer periods of time. HeartBreath integrates with the Apple Health app. Privacy is important to us! The app does not require registration and you have full control over the data of your sessions, which is only stored on your phone.

VaYou Biofeedback Meditation

Biofeedback is the future and the future is now - for everyone. No additional body sensors are needed anymore! Just take your iPhone and start VaYou. VaYou Breath is innovative sound biofeedback. The app connects you directly with yourself by transforming your abdominal breathing into dynamically generated sounds. It is very simple! You breathe relaxed and VaYou generates sounds from it - directly shaped by your breathing. With the help of real-time biofeedback, your breath, mind and heart increasingly flow as one. VaYou Breath integrates with Apple Health by updating your values for resting heart rate, respiratory rate, and mindful minutes. Key VaYou benefits • Biometric Integration - VaYou provides advanced real-time breath and pulse detection without the need for additional wearables or expensive medical sensors. • We have gone to the technical limits. VaYou converts the iOS motion/acceleration sensor data stream into high quality biosignals for breath and pulse (pulse only in lying position). • In order to support the relaxation process, the VaYou algorithms learn from your biosignals and derived parameters how to best design the sounds so that they are most effective for you at that moment. • No online connection needed while using - activate airplane mode for an undisturbed and healthy experience! No other app or desktop software provides biofeedback like VaYou Breath. Just listening to the breath-generated sounds leads you into a very personal flow experience. Your consciousness is more and more "absorbed" by the process, your thoughts come to rest. The mental state can be described as relaxed and calming breath mindfulness. It is almost automatic to "stay with the breath", easily and effortless. Unlike with apps where you have to understand and follow spoken instructions, with VaYou Breath you can "switch off" right from the start. The resulting flow experience brings body and mind into harmony and this has a regenerating effect. The regular use of VaYou Breath can have a generally positive effect on body and mind. Some of the reported effects are • Calming the flow of thoughts • Reduction of stress levels • Self regulation of the heart and breathing activity • Increase of creativity • Improvement of mood • Improvement of sleep. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT: Put on good headphones and choose one of the perfected Sound~Flows. Then select the duration, press START and place the iPhone on your lower abdomen, just below the navel. (It's usually better to loosen a belt if you wear one and slide the iPhone halfway into the belt line of your trousers or skirt.) Keep breathing and listening! LIVE 1 and LIVE 2 is the app's main biofeedback mode. To be even more flexible, there is also a PACING mode, in which an adjustable breathing rhythm is played, which you simply breathe along. Without the need to look at the screen. It is actually very easy to get into your personal "Flow~Breathing" and to experience and enjoy the balancing positive effect. WHAT YOU GET: ▪ The VaYou biofeedback algorithm that turns your breathing movements into amazing Sound~Flows ▪ The "Flow Journey" Sound~Flow, which guides you through a universe of different breath~sound experiences up to 30 minutes duration ▪ The "Four Fully" Sound~Flow for very effective and recreational short breaks ▪ All other Sound~Flows can be downloaded as in-app purchases within the app. And of course you get them for your LIFETIME, even if you change or loose your device. PRICES: • No subscription, no automatic renewal • No hidden costs or unnecessarily large packages • You only pay what you really like and want.
