emWave PC & PSR
The emWave PC is an easy to use software program, learning system, and patented heart rhythm monitor developed by HeartMath’s founder Doc Childre. The emWavePC technology is based on more than a decade of research on the relationship between heart, health and performance. The software provides instant, objective feedback on a person’s internal state. Using the emWave PC’s fingertip or ear pulse sensor that plugs into the USB or serial port of your personal computer, you can watch how thoughts and emotions affect your heart and autonomic nervous system.
The software uses Heart Rate Variability (HRV) patterns to monitor a person’s stress levels. HeartMath’s research has shown that emotions are reflected in the heart rhythm patterns. The analysis of HRV or heart rhythms is recognised as a powerful, non-invasive measure. It reflects heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in the emotional state. New clinical research identifies HRV as a key indicator of preventable stress and shows correlation with a broad range of health problems.
The emWavePC helps you learn how to intentionally shift to a positive emotional state. These shifts in heart rhythms create a favourable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body and mind. Stress hormones plummet, blood pressure drops, the immune system plumps up, and anti-aging hormones increase. The effects are both immediate and long lasting.
The emWave Personal Stress Reliever (PSR) provides a handheld, version of the personal computer emWave PC technology.
