Is the emWave Personal Stress Reliever like a biofeedback device or biofeedback therapy?
It is a non-medical type of biofeedback; however it is important to understand that there are many types of biofeedback which all feed back different aspects of physiological changes in our body. The simplest form of biofeedback is looking in a mirror and making different faces. The emWave® technology is quite different from other forms of technology-based biofeedback such as simple heart rate, skin conductance or brain waves. The emWave products are education systems that provide feedback of a person’s heart rhythm patterns which, in turn, allows them to see and better understand how stress and different emotions are affecting their autonomic nervous system dynamics. Heart rhythm feedback trainers are currently utilized in medical, mental health, corporate, sports, and academic settings to improve clinical, psychological, and performance outcomes. This technology holds promise as a powerful and practical tool for the enhancement of health and human potential.
