HeartMath® Inc.’sHRV PlatformSolutions Available for Licensing
Leader in HRV data and research grows its footprint among
chipset and consumer electronics manufacturers
Boulder Creek, California – December 17, 2014 – HeartMath® Inc., recognized as one of the world’s foremost authorities on stress, heart rate variability (HRV), heart coherence and the physiology of emotions, is now licensing its extensive HRV databases and algorithms to chipset manufacturers and consumer electronics companies. The licensing opportunities will enable HeartMath’s partners to offer its HRV solutions,tap into itsHRV sensor knowledge, extensive research, as well as its normative HRV databases and algorithms for developing consumer products.
HRV is a powerful biometric that reflects the health of the autonomic nervous system and an individual’smental and emotional flexibilityand ability to handle stress challenges without getting overwhelmed. Accumulated stress can lower HRV and reflects accelerated aging.
Partner manufacturers can now integrate HeartMath’s library ofcurrent stress and chronic stress algorithmsand solutions into their own chips, which are then used by consumer electronics manufacturers for licensing the functionality from HeartMath. The company’s platform technology can be used for a wide range of applications including the reduction of anxiety and stress, as well reaching optimal performance, and mental and emotional composure in high stress environments.
Major brands including Samsung, Qualcomm and Red Bull Mediaare already working with HeartMath, due to its expertise and depth of data for HRV assessments, monitoring and stress reduction training. Samsung is licensing HeartMath’s proprietary HRV database for its integrated mobile health S-health platform, which will provide users with the ability to assess stress levels, plan workouts and help with healthy eating choices.
As a world leader in HRV, HeartMath Inc. and its sister research organization, the Institute of HeartMath,have spent over two decades researching and educating health professionals and consumers about HRV feedback and its vital role in stress management, emotional self-regulation and optimal performance training, as well as increasing vitality and resilience.
HeartMath clinical studies have demonstrated the critical link between stressful emotions, heart function, and cognitive performance. This work has been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals that include the American Journal of Cardiology, Preventive Cardiologyand the Journal of the American College of Cardiologyamong many others.HeartMath is also well-versed in the consumer products space. The company’s latest consumer product, Inner Balance™ trainer,is designed to reduce the negative effects of stress and increase personal performance and mental clarity. The app and HRV sensor train users to synchronize their breathing with their heart rhythms. This combinedwith a highly specialized emotion regulation technique trains users how to increase their HRV and accessa high performance state called heart coherence. 58 percentof HeartMath technology users indicate utilizing the technology three to five times a week, even after owning the product for two years or more.
“By deploying our platform solutions to a multitude of licensing partners, HeartMath is able to take its normative databases, algorithms and technologies for helping individuals manage their health and wellness to the next level,” said President and CEO of HeartMath, Dr. Deborah Rozman. “Our extensive research into the powerful HRV biometric can play a vital role in helping consumers manage their health, andwe are excited to see major brandsrecognizing the value of HRV in our everyday lives.”
