The Science Behind the Inner Balance Coherence Plus
Our heart rate is always changing, creating a pattern. Heart rhythm patterns, also called 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 Appreciative
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.
Inner Balance Coherence Plus translates your heart rhythm patterns into a real-time coherence score that you can use to build your heart coherence.

How the Inner Balance Coherence Plus Sensor Works
HRV biofeedback to decode the language of your heart
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus uses professional-grade photodetectors to measure your pulse wave 500 times a second.
This data is then translated into highly accurate HRV, which reflects how your heart rate changes over time. HRV offers a powerful window into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how we feel and perform.
Our proprietary algorithm then translates your heart rate data and HRV patterns into a real-time score that updates every 5 seconds.
This measurement helps you understand which thoughts, emotions, attitudes, or techniques increase or decrease your heart coherence — so you can train yourself to access this highly beneficial state.
The HeartMath App
Purchase of the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor includes a lifetime subscription to the new HeartMath app (Saves you $79 per year subscription)
The HeartMath® app is much more than coherence measurement. Expert-led content included in the HeartMath app helps you build a coherence skill set through courses, learning journeys, and practices designed to help you activate meaningful change throughout your life — everything from powering up your day with more energy, effective decision-making, getting along with others, releasing the day’s tensions, to better sleep, and much more.

Inner Balance™ Coherence Plus Sensor — Consumer FAQs
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor and HeartMath app help train you in heart coherence — an optimal physiological state where your heart and brain are in sync. Increasing your heart coherence has been shown to reduce stress, overwhelm, and anxiety and enhance clear thinking and more effective choices.
Yes. For 30 years, HeartMath Institute has been at the forefront of heart-brain research. Over 500 independent research papers have been published on heart coherence and its associated benefits, which include key health, wellness, and effectiveness indicators. To learn more about the science of HeartMath, click here.
Heart coherence practice increases energy, improves sleep, facilitates decision-making, enhances meditation and mindfulness, and much more. Please click here to read about the benefits of heart coherence.
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.
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.
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.
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor and HeartMath app bring a unique combination of: science, HRV heart coherence measurement and feedback, and content generated over 30 years to help you apply heart coherence to many areas of your life. HeartMath tools, techniques, and training content are all based around the heart and heart intelligence.
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).
Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and search for "HeartMath." Download and open the HeartMath app.
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.
In addition to measuring your heart rate 500 times a second (500 Hz), the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor 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.
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor has a battery life of approximately 8 hours and an auto-shutoff feature to preserve battery life.
You can plug the sensor into Android mobile phones or tablets that have a USB-C port. Please note that the wired connection 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.
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.
In order to measure your HRV, you need a sensor to capture your heart rhythm and analyze your coherence in real time.
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor works with any HRV app that uses the standard profile. However, we do not guarantee that the HeartMath technology will work with all third-party products.
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor does not work on smartwatches.
HeartMath Institute's pioneering research defines heart coherence as the state that occurs when the naturally occurring, beat-to-beat changes in heart rate (HRV) become more ordered and regular, creating what's called a coherent waveform. In heart coherence, many of the body's systems — breathing, blood pressure, hormonal response, brain waves, and heart rhythms — become more in sync. Over thirty years of research has found that heart coherence facilitates physical processes, cognitive functions, and emotional composure, leading to less stress and more resilience. Learn more here.
People learn to increase their heart coherence through heart-focusing techniques in the HeartMath app, which help them experience more uplifting positive emotions such as gratitude, appreciation, care, and compassion — leading to calmness, clarity, and balance.
People often report feeling calm, balanced, and composed.
As people practice over time, this experience deepens and becomes easier to access — what we call 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.
