**Welcome to Press Reset

Your Personal Stress Management Lab**

Press Reset is a tool designed to help you discover and refine stress management practices through experimentation and observation. At its core, Press Reset focuses on Heart Rate Variability (HRV), a key indicator of how well your body manages stress. We hope by exploring various techniques like meditation and breathwork, you'll gain insights into your body's stress response and learn to balance your nervous system more effectively.

In this initial phase, we've introduced meditation and breathwork as our primary focus. These features allow you to experiment with two powerful stress management techniques. As we continue to develop, we plan to expand our offerings to include additional analysis and other wellness practices, providing you with a more comprehensive toolkit for managing your overall well-being.

Getting Started with the App

HRV Gauge

Customize Your Sessions

To customize each session, click on the three dots. This allows you to adjust the following settings:

• Duration: Set the duration of your meditation session. Sessions over 5 minutes are recommended for deeper relaxation and better HRV improvement.
• Feedback: Enable or disable real-time biofeedback. This includes haptic feedback and visual cues to help you stay focused.
• Sound: Choose a soothing sound to accompany your meditation session, if desired.

For now we have these two session types but plan to add more

Selecting Sessions Types

Meditation An open-ended session that allows you to explore your preferred meditation style without prescriptive breathing instructions. This flexible approach allows you to practice any meditation technique that resonates with you, whether it's mindfulness, loving-kindness, or your own unique method.

Coherent Breath

The app guides you to achieve a balanced breathing rate of about 6 breaths per minute, known as coherent breathing. Here's how it works:

1. Heart Rate Analysis:

   We track your heart rate variability (HRV) to detect the rhythmic patterns associated with coherent breathing.
