Introducing *heart/work*, the only iOS app that generates original artwork based on your unique health information. Bridging the gap between wellbeing and health data, heart/work creates layered visuals to provide at-a-glance synopsis using meditative breathing exercises, your heartbeat and environmental data from your current surroundings.

 Maintain your exercise streaks by completing heart/work everyday and generate a new piece of art, straight from your heart. The heart/work is generated based on different attributes like: 
 - heart beat
s during exercise - HRV (heart rate variability)
 - resting heart beat
 - # of steps taken 
- distance for running / walking
 - stairs climbed 
- active energy burned
 - local weather 
& climate - location information 
- mood
 - favorite color 

Customize the number of breaths, meditation session length, and favorite color - let heart/work do the rest. heart/work is using HealthKit data to create visuals. Access to the data is required for the app to work. No personally identifiable data is ever shared with anyone. Created with love at the Apple Developer Academy in Naples, Italy.

About

Body & Mind Smart Biofeedback

Read full description

NIRS-based HEG-neurofeedback is very popular among professional users: HEG-neurofeedback is easy to learn, especially compared to EEG-neurofeedback, and can be implemented quickly and elegantly. By means of the HEG-Neurofeedback sensor you can see live how well you are able to concentrate actively or to relax mentally. Now HEG neurofeedback is no longer limited to the weekly training in the practice: Thanks to the new MediTECH HEG app with the corresponding wireless sensor, you can also carry out your neurofeedback training at home at any time. This serves to promote concentration and attention as well as mental relaxation. It is child's play to switch between the two training options in the app. The app offers a quick and intuitive training configuration and also allows the management of several trainers. The evaluation of the training progress is also already included in the app. Publications on NIRS-based HEG neurofeedback and its implementation and effectiveness can be found under the following link: https://www.meditech.de/page/forschung-bfnf
