The New HeartMath® App
Unlock a more joyful, peaceful, and confident you!
HRV biofeedback to help you access a healthy and high performance state called heart coherence which balances your mind and emotions. This helps prevent stress and clears your thinking for more effective choices.
Measuring HRV & Coherence
Our heart rate is always changing, creating a pattern. Heart rhythm patterns, based on our “heart rate variability” (HRV), are a powerful window into our health and emotional wellness.
Feeling Stressed
When we are out of sync (stressed, frustrated, anxious etc.),our heart rhythm patterns are jagged and chaotic.
Feeling Grateful
When we are in sync (composed, easeful, grateful, etc.),our heart rhythm patterns look like smooth sine waves.
We can learn to change our heart rhythm patterns to change how we feel and perform.
The HeartMath app translates your heart rhythm patterns into a real-time coherence score that you can use to build your heart coherence.
Leverage Cutting-Edge
Heart-Brain Science
Use HRV biofeedback and a real-time coherence score to synchronize your heart and brain.
Guide yourself into more

How long does it take to see or feel the benefits of using the Inner Balance Coherence Plus and HeartMath app?
There are several ways you’ll experience benefits. After just a few minutes of heart coherence practice, people often report feeling more balanced and less stressed. Studies with over 14,000 people have shown improvements in mental and emotional wellness in just 6 to 9 weeks of practice (we suggest 10 minutes a day). Heart coherence practice has a carry-over effect, providing more ease and flow throughout your day.
How long should I practice with the Inner Balance Coherence Plus and HeartMath app?
Any practice is helpful, but we suggest creating a regular practice of 10 minutes a day to increase your coherence. If you miss a day, no problem; just pick up where you left off.
Is the Inner Balance Coherence Plus wearable? Do I have to wear it all the time?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus and HeartMath app are designed to be a training device. You do not wear the sensor all the time; you only attach the ear sensor when you want to train with coherence measurement. We recommend 10 minutes a day.
What makes the Inner Balance Coherence Plus and HeartMath app different and unique?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor and HeartMath app bring a unique combination of 1) science, 2) HRV heart coherence measurement and feedback, and 3) content generated over 30 years to help you apply heart coherence to many areas of your life. And, of course, HeartMath tools, techniques, and training content are based around the heart and heart intelligence!
Which apps does the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor work with?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor works with the new HeartMath app (our most comprehensive app to date), the Inner Balance app (our previous app), and the Global Coherence™ app (where you can join with others to contribute your heart coherence points to the global field environment).
Where do I find the HeartMath app?
Please go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search for HeartMath. Download and open the HeartMath app.
What does 500 Hz mean?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor measures your heart rate at 500 Hz, which means it measures your heart rate 500 times per second, ensuring the highest degree of HRV accuracy.
How does the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor measure more accurately?
In addition to measuring your heart rate 500 times a second (500 Hz), the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor is best-in-class and uses high-performance precision technology that can discriminate even the smallest changes in your HRV. It features an advanced photodetector that works effectively with all people and eliminates artifacts.
What is the battery life of the new Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor has a battery life of approximately 8 hours and an auto-shutoff feature to preserve battery life.
Can I connect the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor to my phone or tablet with a USB-C connector?
You can plug the sensor into Android mobile phones or tablets that have a USB-C port. Please note that the wired connection to the sensor will not work with Apple iOS devices (iPad or iPhone). You must use Bluetooth to connect the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor to Apple iOS devices.
What is heart rate variability (HRV)?
The naturally occurring beat-to-beat variation in heart rate is called heart rate variability (HRV). HRV is an important indicator of overall health and wellness. The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor with the HeartMath app analyzes and displays your HRV pattern and translates it into a real-time coherence score, reflecting the synchronization between your heart and brain. Regular practice to increase your coherence is associated with many health, wellness, and effectiveness benefits.
Why do I need to use a sensor with HeartMath apps?
In order to measure your HRV, you need a sensor to capture your heart rhythm and analyze your coherence in real time.
Can the Inner Balance Coherence Plus work with other non-HeartMath HRV apps?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor works with any HRV app with the standard profile. However, we do not guarantee that the HeartMath technology will work with all third-party products.
Does the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor work on smartwatches?
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor does not work on smartwatches.
What is heart coherence?
HeartMath Institute’s pioneering research defines heart coherence as the state that occurs when the naturally occurring, beat-to-beat changes in heart rate, or heart rate variability (HRV), become more ordered and regular, creating what’s called a coherent waveform. In heart coherence, many of the body’s systems, such as breathing, blood pressure, hormonal response, brain wave, and heart rhythms, become more in sync. HeartMath Institute research studies over thirty years have found that heart coherence not only facilitates physical processes but cognitive functions and emotional composure as well, leading to less stress and more resilience. Learn more here.
People learn to increase their heart coherence through heart-focusing techniques provided in the HeartMath app, which enable them to experience more uplifting positive emotions, such as gratitude, appreciation, care, and compassion, leading to calmness, clarity, and balance. HeartMath technology is designed to facilitate the state of heart coherence, measuring coherence in real time by analyzing heart rate variability and displaying the heart rhythm pattern. This allows the user to see how their thoughts and emotions can affect their heart rhythms, what coherence feels like, what increases it, and what may reduce it.
What does heart coherence feel like?
People often report feeling calm, balanced, and composed.
As people practice over time, this experience deepens and becomes easier to access. We call this creating a new coherence baseline. Practicing heart coherence has been shown to improve emotional and mental wellness, create more harmony in relationships and communications, and generate hope and confidence.
