Science has finally caught up with the traditions we have been practicing for thousands of years! Our app combines the best of ancient deep breathing practices and modern technology. Did you know that your heart rate can actually rise and fall with each breath you take? This represents a state known as autonomic nervous system coherence, which is only reached during periods of low stress.

Using our groundbreaking heart rate monitoring technology, you can now turn your phone into a real-time biofeedback device without any external hardware - the perfect addition to any meditative practice! We show you a continuous graph of your heart rate, so that you can see whether your body is responding to your breath in every moment.

Deep breathing has proven beneficial effects on lowering stress, helping you sleep better, reducing anxiety, lowering blood pressure, strengthening your immune system, improved overall well being, and more! With just 5 minutes of practice per day, you will be amazed how much of a difference it makes.

Pros and cons of Stress Doctor by Azumio - Stress reducer and slow breathing yoga exercise app for iPhone and iPad

Stress Doctor by Azumio - Stress reducer and slow breathing yoga exercise app good for

Works and does what much more expensive heart coherence monitors do

.... I hope the next Update includes a support tool to breath in the right rythm to become coherent like a led that runns from left to right or so. Sorry for the Bad english.

This app has a lot of promise and is very interesting. If anything, cool to see online your own breath and heart beat at the same time. However, they will have to work harder to make the inner workings more transparent before it is believable and worth the effort.

This is a neat idea and seems to work well. Other heart rate variability hardware and app combinations can cost $100+, so the free price is great. Because I dont have another HRV device to compare it too Im not totally sure how accurate it is, but changing my breathing as per the instructions made me relaxed and focused.

Optimize it for iphone 5 and I will rate it 5 stars. Amazingly this app syncs youre breath and heart rate somehow and it really works.

5$ for an heart monitoring device, its really a bargain! A must have in stress reduction.

Some bad moments

I could not understand what I was supposed to do with this app. It gives nice wiggly lines that dont seem to mean much other than the heart rate. Pretty expensive app that I am getting nothing out of. It either does not work or needs better instructions.

I found it a bit difficult to use and delivering little in terms of changes to the mood. Maybe it is not meant for people with average emotional response. Took me a while to learn how to use it at which point I have asked myself so this is it? Expected a bit more useful functionality at this price.

This app worked beautifully for me, until it suddenly started freezing every time I try to use it. Now its useless, which is frustrating because it actually worked really well at helping me control my breathing and calm down. When I came to the App Store, I noticed that they dont seem to be updating it anymore, so my hopes arent high that the issues will be resolved soon.

Tried to use it for over an hour now and its all over the place. I like their other apps but I want a refund on this one!

this app is my heart explorer - I use it to see what affect my heart rhythm and there is immediate response. works nicely for slow breathing exercise too.

Because Ive had PTSD and anxiety since childhood, Im always trying things like this to supplement EMDR therapy, counseling, etc. Anyone who gives this app a bad review most likely didnt follow the instructions correctly. After 7 to 8 minutes I noticed my breathing was very calm and my brain was loving it. Burn some nag champa incense, turn on "A Winged Victory For The Sullen," get "Stress Doctor" going and focus on breaths countering the graph. Youll be happy you did.
