Stress-Reducing Health Trackers

The 'Lief' Tracks Heart Rate Variability to Decrease Stress

— December 5, 2016 — Lifestyle
Many fitness trackers on the market will keep track of your pulse, but the 'Lief' is also able to sense your heart rate variability in order to help identify when you're stressing out.

Instead of simply tracking how long your heart rate is elevated for or how long you're feeling stressed, the 'Lief' takes evasive action by guiding a user to steady themselves. This comes in the form of haptic feedback that will help to guide users to steady their breathing and focus more on relaxing themselves.

The 'Lief' is purported by the creators of the device to help improve heart rate variability by about 140% on average, which makes the device a true marvel for those in high-stress jobs or situations on a daily basis.
Trend Themes
1. Heart-rate Variability Tracking - Heart-rate variability tracking technologies are disrupting the health tracking industry by offering a more comprehensive approach to stress management.
2. Haptic Feedback Devices - Haptic feedback devices present disruptive innovation opportunities by providing tactile guidance for stress reduction and relaxation techniques.
3. Personalized Stress Management - Personalized stress management solutions have the potential to disrupt the way individuals cope with stress, offering tailored strategies for relaxation and well-being.
Industry Implications
1. Wearable Technology - The wearable technology industry can benefit from heart-rate variability tracking devices that offer stress-reducing features.
2. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can explore the use of haptic feedback devices to assist in stress management and relaxation therapies.
3. Wellness and Mindfulness - The wellness and mindfulness industry can leverage personalized stress management solutions to provide customized strategies for stress reduction and emotional well-being.
