Both of these stress management programs use the same technology to measure Heart Rate Variability (HRV), a key indicator of preventable stress that correlates with a broad range of related health problems. The technology, which is based on 16 years of research on the relationship between stress and emotions, helps you prepare for and quickly recoup from stress triggers like finances, meetings and deadlines, health issues, and relationship conflicts by rebalancing the mind and emotions.

emWave PC (previously called Freeze-Framer) is an easy-to-use, Windows-based software and hardware program that measures your HRV through a finger or ear-clip sensor that plugs into your computer. The program translates the information into user-friendly graphics displayed on your computer monitor in real-time. emWave PC allows you to track your progress and has interactive games and stunning images that emit varying degrees of color and movement as you adjust your emotional state and get into The Zone of optimal learning and performance.
