"Heartmath is a good introductory biofeedback tool, but the feedback is delayed"

3.5/5

What do you like best about HeartMath, Inc.?

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 do you dislike about HeartMath, Inc.?

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.

Recommendations to others considering HeartMath, Inc.:

Recognize that HeartMath has limitations, because of its lag time in providing biofeedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeartMath, Inc. solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wanted to use HeartMath to help my patients work with their physiology while out of the office, which helps people get better results. The potential is for the HeartMath devices to train people to self-regulate their physiology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"State of the Art Tools for Measuring Heart Rate Variability (HRV)"

5/5

Describe the project or task HeartMath, Inc. helped with:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about HeartMath, Inc.?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HeartMath, Inc.?

It would be nice if the emWave Pro Plus package provided the HRV data internally rather than requiring manually copy/past operations in order to upload to Kubios. An alternate solution would be to have a means of exporting the IBI data directly which would eliminate any potential risk of human error in the process. Also, Heart Math is made of of two organizations: a non-profit and a for-profit. Sometimes, it can be confusing to know which organization one is working with and they are not always aware of what the other is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HeartMath, Inc.:

I found the team at Heart Math to be both professional and eager to support the research I am conducting. I think you will enjoy doing business with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HeartMath, Inc. solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am measuring the effect of an experimental intervention using the Inner Balance app and PPG device. Research is ongoing. HeartMath has been instrumental in designing and conducting dissertation that will be the foundation of my work as a degreed professional in the field of psychology.

"Inner Balance feature for emotional balance "

5/5

Describe the project or task HeartMath, Inc. helped with:

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.

What do you like best about HeartMath, Inc.?

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.

What do you dislike about HeartMath, Inc.?

I dislike how when I open the app every time,I find my phone freezing a little pit . I cannot exactly spot if this problem is caused by the app or my mobile phone ; it irritates me anyway . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering HeartMath, Inc.:

You have to try this app if you suffer from consistent panic attacks and cannot get structure in your life. Also, if you don't have any of those conditions, you would still need to try it to protect yourself from those conditions and keep track of your mental health and your whole life in return !
