HeartMath biofeedback devices are available to students to help monitor and manage their stress and heart rhythms.

HeartMath is a non-profit organization known for its cutting-edge biofeedback tools. Traditionally, biofeedback devices are costly and stationary, but HeartMath offers a portable solution that connects to a smartphone app, making it accessible for students on the go.

Staff from the Center for Care and Resilience, the Center for Health Education and Wellness, and Student Disability Services have been trained to equip students with the devices, serve as mentors, and help answer questions. 

Students use the device a few times a day over an eight-week period to learn to achieve coherence. Defined as a balanced alignment between the heart and brain that promotes calm, focus, and emotional resilience, coherence is critical to overall wellness for students on campus. 

Students can check out these devices for eight weeks at a time and use them anywhere—whether in a quiet corner of the library or the bustling Student Union—while the app tracks their progress and provides feedback on how well they are reaching coherence.

If you’re interested in learning more about HeartMath or to request a device, please submit a referral form or call 974-HELP.
