Description
Heart rate controlled artwork and biofeedback training app, compatible with sensors using the Bluetooth 4.0 Heart Rate protocol.
BrightHearts is an interactive artwork and biofeedback relaxation training app, that enables you to see and hear changes in your heart rate and heart-rate-variability, in real time.
Please make sure you have one of the following Bluetooth 4.0 compatible heart rate sensors:
- Scosche 'Rhythm+'
- Polar H10
- Polar H7
- Polar OH1
- Zephyr HxM Smart
- HRV Elite CoreSense
BrightHearts is an interactive artwork and heart rate biofeedback app, design for use with Bluetooth 4.0 heart rate sensors.
BrightHearts combines real-time biofeedback data with stunning visuals and soothing sounds to help you relax, relate, and reflect on your body's stress and relaxation reflexes. It's designed to help you to sense decreases in your heart rate, which are associated with your body's natural 'rest-digest' nervous system reflex.
Instructions
Before using the app, check if f your heart rate sensor has a ‘heart rate variability’ mode (e.g. Scoche Rythm+) - if it does, make sure this is enabled.
Once the app detects your pulse with your Bluetooth 4.0 heart rate sensor, it will set a baseline heart rate measurement based on your heart rate at the start of the session. As your heart rate slows down, you'll hear bells chime, see circles contract towards the centre of the screen, and watch colours shift from red to blue. You can experiment with muscle relaxation, slow exhales, and even explore how you can alter your heart rate with thoughts, feelings, memories, posture, and gentle movement.
What’s New
Version 1.1.65
Additional measurement of heart rate variability data (FFT ‘spectrum’ analysis) - accurate when used with an appropriate heart rate sensor that transmits ‘rr’ or ‘interbeat-interval’ data e.g. Scosche ‘Rhythm+’, Polar H10 etc.
Ratings and Reviews
Not too sure what to think...
It's very pretty, however there is no explanation of how this works or manual. No way of knowing if what you are doing is good or bad. An instruction guide or even simple directions would be greatly appreciated. Some idea what the various colors mean. If this was provided I would give it 5 stars. Good start so far. Hope the developer adds the necessary information to make it more useful.
No longer works
I enjoyed this app as an adjunct for relaxation practices but it no longer works.
One of the greatest heart rate variability apps to come along in years!
I have been practicing the use of HRV tools and software for around 10 years. I've always felt that the Holy Grail of this space would be a means of getting constant feedback on your current HRV in real time and being able to do it in such a way that you don't need to look at a chart or graph.
This app does this in a very stunning way by capturing the attention of the right brain as opposed to the left brain which which hits at the very heart of what tracking heart rate variability is all about.
Initially I was wondering, hey where is all the tracking? Where are all the tables and graphs and numbers? But as I went about my work with this app operating in the background on my iPad, I discovered that this app more than any other device or app I've used in the past was training me to get into the ideal state of mind and body.
There is no documentation, but you don't need any as long as you have A heart rate measuring device that has Bluetooth 4.0 enabled. The parent and the syncing happens automatically. If you just try it, you will see how it works and how I can transform your productivity, and optimize the status of your mind and body.
