WHAT'S BIOFEEDBACK?
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Biofeedback is a technique that can directly affect physiological and psychological factors through deep breathing exercises and is an ideal strategy to help us self-regulate and better cope with stressful situations

Practically speaking, HRV Biofeedback consists of providing an individual with real-time feedback on instantaneous heart rate and respiration changes while being instructed to breathe at low frequencies

You can learn more about the psychological and physiological benefits of deep breathing and HRV Biofeedback, at HRV4Biofeedback.com

HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM BIOFEEDBACK?
Life can be demanding, from both a physical and psychological point of view

Our health and performance can be affected by how we are able to effectively cope with stressful situations and deal with anxiety, or in broader terms, our ability to emotionally self-regulate is key

The goal of HRV Biofeedback is to improve self-regulation, therefore impacting positively our health and performance

Good app. Could use some improvements.

I’ve really benefitted from regular RF breathing and biofeedback using this app. It’s really helped me manage stress much more effectively. I do wish there were a more robust set of external accessories. I often want to practice hands free, so I don’t need to be holding my phone to use the app, and I’m not aware of an external device that both measures your HRV and gives a vibration and quiet sound indicating the breathing intervals.

Mostly love it but lots of lost data

Love this app and what it does but data only syncs and saves for me about half the time. Possibly it’s just a hazard of rural internet but disappointing nonetheless

Great for what it does, want it to do more

I doubted their claim of HRV and HR accuracy. I have a Polar h10 and I compared measurements and to my surprise HRV4BIOFEEDBACK optical sensor accuracy was the same as Polar! Very impressive. I like how you get the scores and can see the effects on mood and whatnot. Helpful to see trends over time. Major criticism is that the breathing visual is hard to see. They need to do something with more contrast. Only rated 4 stars because there is so much more they could do with the biofeedback exercise rather than just breathing. Guided meditation, sound, etc.

Update killed it?

Maybe HRV4BioFeedback is not working with iOs 16.3? Camera flash turns on, stays on, and no measurements take place at all, screens lock up.
