HeartMath, Inc. Reviews & Provider Details

What I like the most about the HeartMath technology is that it is an affordable way for people to gain insights into their physiology as it relates to their emotional states, and to shift in to more optimal physiology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What bothered me about the HeartMath technology is that the feedback speed clearly has a significant lag, so the feedback is very far from being real-time, which is needed for best results. This means that when trying to meditate or shift one's physiology, if one's thoughts and therefore physiology shift (such as by holding positive thoughts, and then remembering something that is bothering you), then the HeartMath software might reinforce the undesired physiology because of the lag. This is really something that HeartMath should be fixing--there needs to be a higher sample rate per second to allow faster biofeedback, otherwise the value of the technology is limited. I say this as a neurofeedback expert with 17 years in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am conducting dissertation research that measures the effects of an experimental intervention for anxiety on participants' heart rate variability (HRV). I initially needed a single finger sensor and the emWave Pro Plus software package with Assessments. After COVID-19 hit, I had to redesign the research to eliminate face-to-face interaction between researcher and participant. The solution I came up with was to use their Pulse Plethysmograph (PPG) and Inner Balance app which allowed me to meet with participants via Zoom and have them record heart rate data on their phone and upload to the HeartCloud server from which I had access once they setup sharing.

In general, the Inner Balance app and PPG device are easy to configure. The process of synchronizing data for researcher use is effortless and the data is available within at most 1-2 minutes after being uploaded by participants. The emWave Pro Plus software package provides the ability to export heart data into any spreadsheet app. From their, the IBI data can be saved as a CSV file for use in other HRV analysis software such as Kubios.

It regulates my mood in correspondence with my heart rhythm . The App works by enhancing my mental status and also gives me a picture -- a reliable picture-- of how accurately my mood is really improved. It is based on the fact that the brain status reflects on the heart rhythm . So , I have a handy reliable way of telling me how I am feeling right now and keep track of things because many times I feel that I am in a bad mood but the atmosphere around me convinces me that I am not , which puts me in even worse status ; this App solved this problem completely .

Also, I am a scientific researcher and I trust any service that is based on the thorough hard work that advance the scientific academia. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How it is so personalized. I have tried many similar Apps in the past , but nearly all of them were so general . I am a scientific researcher and I know how generalizations are so unacceptable and cause so many confusions . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
