How HRV Biofeedback Works
Using breathing to influence heart rhythm and autonomic balance
Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is based on the natural interaction between breathing, heart rate, and the autonomic nervous system. By guiding the user through paced breathing exercises, Heart Tracker helps synchronize these physiological processes and promotes a balanced autonomic state.
Breathing Influences Heart Rhythm
Heart rate naturally increases during inhalation and decreases during exhalation. This phenomenon, known as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, is a key mechanism behind HRV biofeedback.
Paced Breathing Enhances This Effect
By following a guided breathing rhythm, users can amplify these heart rate fluctuations and create a more regular and pronounced pattern.
Achieving Cardio-Respiratory Resonance
At a certain breathing rate, typically around 5–7 breaths per minute, the interaction between breathing and cardiovascular rhythms becomes synchronized, producing a strong and stable oscillation.
Real-Time Feedback Reinforces Learning
Heart Tracker measures these changes in real time and provides visual and auditory feedback, allowing users to learn how to achieve and maintain this beneficial physiological state.
What Is Cardio-Respiratory Resonance?
A physiological state associated with efficient autonomic regulation
Cardio-respiratory resonance is a state in which breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure rhythms become synchronized. This state is associated with increased heart rate variability and reflects efficient communication between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system.
Resonance Produces Strong HRV Oscillations
When resonance is achieved, heart rate variability exhibits large, smooth oscillations driven by the breathing cycle.
Indicator of Autonomic Balance
This state reflects coordinated activity of the autonomic nervous system and is commonly associated with improved physiological regulation.
Foundation of HRV Biofeedback Training
HRV biofeedback aims to help users reach and sustain this resonance state through guided breathing and feedback.
Measured and Tracked in Real Time
Heart Tracker quantifies resonance using a proprietary training score, allowing users to monitor their performance and progress during each session.

Beginner, intermediate, and expert modes adjust the difficulty of achieving high resonance levels.
Real-Time Physiological Displays
The software shows raw pulse wave signal quality, heart rate trends, and training score graphs during the session.
Flexible Session Duration
Training sessions can be configured from 2 to 20 minutes.
Customizable Breathing Pacer
The breathing pacer can be configured by adjusting the duration of each phase of the breathing cycle, including inhalation, post-inhalation hold, exhalation, and pause before the next breath. This allows users and practitioners to tailor breathing patterns to specific training goals and individual needs.
Audio Reinforcement Feedback
Optional audio signals provide immediate feedback when the training score enters specific resonance ranges.
Audio Suggestive Training Mode
Specially designed hypno-speech recordings can guide users through relaxation and breathing exercises.
Visual Feedback Mode

Software Interface
Intuitive visual interface for guided HRV biofeedback training
Heart Tracker provides a clear and engaging software interface designed to support effective HRV biofeedback training. Real-time visualizations of pulse signals, heart rate, and training performance are combined with guided breathing cues and feedback elements, allowing users to easily follow the exercise and monitor their physiological response throughout each session.
Real-Time HRV Biofeedback Training Screen
The main session screen provides a comprehensive view of physiological activity during HRV training. It displays the raw pulse signal and session timeline, along with a visual breathing pacer that guides the user through each breath cycle. Multiple synchronized panels show heart rate trends, training score progression with color-coded resonance zones, a 2D HR spectrum, and summary bars indicating the percentage of time spent in each performance range. This integrated layout allows users to follow the breathing exercise while continuously monitoring their physiological response and training effectiveness.
Session Review and Summary Screen
The session review screen provides a comprehensive overview of completed training sessions. A summary panel on the left displays key numerical results, while the main area presents accumulated session data using a multi-panel layout similar to the real-time screen. Users can examine heart rate trends, training score progression, spectral data, and performance distribution across the entire session, enabling detailed evaluation of training outcomes.
Session Setup and Training Configuration
The session preparation screen provides a dedicated dialog for configuring all key training parameters before starting a session. Users can select the training mode, session duration, breathing pacer settings, and feedback options, ensuring the session is tailored to individual goals and experience level.
Custom Breathing Pacer Configuration
This screen allows users to define a custom breathing pattern by adjusting the duration of each phase of the breathing cycle, including inhalation, post-inhalation hold, exhalation, and pause. A graphical display illustrates the resulting breathing waveform, showing breath volume over time, helping users and practitioners visualize and fine-tune the pacing model for optimal training results.
