## What is Cohera?

What is this app for? 

According to research in Neuro-cardiology, the heart rate influences our brain.
How ?  

Cardiac coherence is the name that has been given to this technique discovered by American researchers fifteen years ago. It has been proven that the heart rate is in harmony with the brain, which means that our mind and emotions are attached to the heart rhythm.
In order to control your emotions and reduce your stress, it is absolutely necessary to control the heart rate, and to achieve this you only need to control your breathing.
Our application offers you the possibility to control your breathing through practical and  effective exercises.

This exercise will help you reduce stress and control your emotions.

How to use:

Just breathe in when the water drop is going up and breathe out when it goes down. A vibration allows you to follow the pace with your eyes shut.

A menu allows you to specify the duration of the exercise and the number of respiration per minute.
 
Optional features:
 
Expert mode allows you to specify the exact inhalation and exhalation time and adds a breath-holding feature.
 
A notification can be programmed to remind you that it is time for some exercise.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-12-25*

Does not capture heart rate from Apple Watch. Basically it’s just an app with a water droplet that goes up and down for a set number of minutes. Does nothing else lol.

### 1/5 — Pas d assistance

Application maintenue ?

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2020-10-18*

It doesn’t provide what it describes, it offers nothing close. If you are looking to build coherence this app is the opposite of that. It doesn’t even pair with the iwatch as it claims.
