hrv is a measurement of stress. it has been established that persons suffering with mental and physical illnesses such as ptsd have chronically lower hrv values compared to the rest of the population (normalised based on biological sex and age).

nurture implements hrv biofeedback, an evidence-based way to improve hrv. additionally, hrv is simplified to health points (hp), to easily show the effects of lifestyle choices, helping users to make better choices in diet, sleep and self-care practices.

anxious persons breathe shallowly and rapidly. by slowing down the breath, heart rate variability is improved, stress is relieved, and overall health is improved.

nurture implements two evidence-based breathing protocols to achieve these benefits for relaxation and sleep.

our brains are full of electromagnetic activity. these electromagnetic (or brain) waves have certain frequencies specific to certain mental and physical states (relaxed, focus, anxious, sleep, meditation).

nurture implements brainwave entrainment, an evidence-based method of entraining desired states.
