Our latest HRV Add-On makes life simple. HRV 2.0 lets you do everything for heart rate variability in one place. There is no need to import or export data or fuss about switching between separate data acquisition and analysis programs. You can acquire data, detect beats, exclude ectopics and view time and frequency domain analyses all in the same module.

Many of you will have used our original Heart Rate Variability Add-On and may be wondering how HRV 2.0 is different. Today, we’ll look at the changes to the user interface. The HRV 2.0 LabChart Add-On comes with several thoughtful improvements to give you more control over your heart rate...

While the HRV 2.0 Add-On has incorporated many changes at the user interface, there are some really important hidden improvements too - like the underlying algorithm.

Rowan Ellis, founder of the Body Synergy gym, has a simple but compelling approach to relieving musculoskeletal pain. His hypothesis: to protect the spine and joints, one must contract the right muscles at the right time. Rowan believes that poor physical awareness of which muscles we are using, especially the trapezius, is a root cause for a variety of back problems and some forms of migraine. The Delsys EMG system allows him to view clients’ muscle activity in great detail.
