Rewire’s patented Heartbeat tool translates live heart-rate data into seven color levels personalized to your resting baseline. Green represents your baseline. Warm colors indicate heart rate above your baseline. Cool colors—cyan, azure, and deep purple—indicate heart rate below your baseline and can accompany relaxation. Movement, stress, and emotions can all raise heart rate. Use the colors alongside how you feel to notice your patterns and explore what helps you recover. Choose a practice. Observe your response. Practice returning toward your baseline after activation, and make recovery part of your daily routine. The colors are feedback, not a score. YOUR HEARTBEAT. IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT. Bring your personalized color feedback into the room with the optional Rewire Heart Light. Your heart-rate monitor supplies live heart-rate data. The app translates it into colors relative to your resting baseline. The Heart Light displays those same colors in your surroundings, so you can follow the feedback without continually watching your phone. Let the colors accompany your breathing, movement, or guided recovery practice. The Rewire Heart Light kit includes a compatible heart-rate monitor and is sold separately on Amazon.
