35 Years of Research. The Science of Stress.
The Solution for Coherence.

HeartMath® is a global research and education organization pioneering the science of heart-brain coherence and providing measurable tools to regulate stress in real time.

“Anxiety and dysregulation are not character flaws. They are patterns in the nervous system, and the nervous system can be trained.” – Jorina Elbers, MD
Program Director, Trauma Recovery Project, HeartMath Institute

For over 35 years, HeartMath® has been studying the physiology of stress and how the heart and brain communicate. At a time when wearables can track stress but not change its effects, HeartMath offers science-based tools and training that actively transform the nervous system in real time. The result? A measurable state called coherence, where the body shifts out of fight-or-flight and recalibrates toward balance, resilience, and clarity. Coherence helps people manage stress that builds up over time, and build resilience so they can better handle day-to-day pressures.

Unlike traditional stress advice that focuses on distraction or relaxation, HeartMath teaches people how to regulate their nervous system through the heart, the body’s primary integrator of emotional and physiological states. These scientifically-validated stress techniques work quickly, often within minutes, giving people access to calm, cognitive clarity, and emotional control when they need it most.

HeartMath’s technology (including the Inner Balance™ Coherence Plus sensor and app) doesn’t just capture data. It trains people to create coherence, improve heart rate variability, and change how their body responds to stress. Whether someone is dealing with daily anxiety, performance pressure, burnout, or chronic overwhelm, HeartMath’s stress management tools empower measurable change.

HeartMath’s work is trusted by leading institutions including Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, the United Nations, all four branches of the U.S. military, and professional sports organizations such as the NFL and MLB. Its tools are used across health care systems, education, corporate leadership teams, and elite performance environments where clarity under pressure matters most. Professionals and everyday users alike leverage HeartMath to improve emotional regulation, mental health, performance resilience, sleep quality, and overall well-being. In a culture where fear responses are amplified by social media and information overload, HeartMath offers something rare and deeply disruptive: measurable calm.

In December 2025, HeartMath research was highlighted at the Second World Health Organization Global Summit on Traditional Medicine in New Delhi, where it was selected as one of only 25 evidence-based innovations invited to host an experiential lab for global policymakers, scientists, and health leaders. More than 300 delegates engaged directly with HeartMath’s research on heart-brain coherence, heart rate variability, and emotional self-regulation — underscoring the growing recognition of physiological regulation as a foundational pillar of global health and resilience.

This is not a niche or a trend. This is the science of regulation. It is the solution for a world that desperately needs it.

“Coherence is a natural state that accompanies who we are at the core of our being.” – Doc Childre, Founder, HeartMath
