You create your Bluetooth ECG chest strap or the optical pulse bracelet or ear clip in real time, your current heart rate transmitted to your iOS device. The app analyzes your heartbeat and continuously determines the extreme values, ie, the minimum and the maximum and determines your individual targets.
The current heartbeat is sent directly to a Hue LED lamp, it pulsates synchronously in pure white light. Up to 2 additional Hue LED lamps generate a color gradient between the colors red and blue. The red signal shows you that your heart rate is in the high range and prompts you to virtually, to relax and to rest. Similar to a control device now creates a loop - in our case a bio-feedback. Now if your heart rate is reduced and you are approaching the state of relaxation, the light color changes to a yellow, then blue light.
