Unlike a heart rate monitor, the StressEraser doesn’t just measure your pulse. It measures the distance between pulses, a much more complex measurement. The StressEraser has a patent pending on a type of HRV biofeedback called “intra-wave consecutive heart periods,” or CHP. This biofeedback allows you to use your breathing to control your heart rate. And it tells you whether or not you are doing it correctly. This is something you otherwise cannot be sure of. Heart rate monitors do not provide this sort of feedback.
