Thought Technology Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Suite

We are pleased to announce the release of the latest ProComp 2 series package with the focus on HRV.

The heart rate variability (HRV) suite is a set of simple tools, designed to help the clinician do biofeedback therapy with clients, even if they have little or no experience with biofeedback. The tools in this suite will help the clinician evaluate client's heart rate variability and provide a multi-pronged approach to retraining the cardiovascular physiology underlying HRV.

The tools will also allow the clinician to:

  • Monitor HRV during therapy
  • Teach self-regulation with HRV biofeedback
  • Teach simple breathing techniques aimed at reducing tension and anxiety while maximizing HRV

The HRV Suite based on BioGraph Infiniti 6.04, works with the clinical grade ProComp 2 physiological data acquisition device and the HR/BVP sensor and respiration sensors. When using the HRV assessment tool, you have the option of connecting a blood pressure monitor (A&D UA-767PC) if you want to include blood pressure readings in the assessment measures.

There are introductory discounted prices (valid to June 30, 2015) for the T7406M - Procomp2 w/ HRV Suite (w/BioGraph Infiniti software, respiration and HR/BVP sensors) and the SA7580 - HRV Suite (requires BioGraph 6.04, for ProComp 2 or ProComp Infiniti and FlexComp in Legacy mode).

The HRV suite is not compatible with ProComp 5 systems.
