How SomaSync Works

SomaSync uses cutting-edge science to help you improve your HRV adaptability.

The Science Behind SomaSync

Unlike traditional breathing apps that use fixed patterns like square or resonant breathing, SomaSync employs fractal variability to create more natural, adaptive breathing and movement rhythms. You can use our our HRV entrainer to synchronize your body with those natural rhythms. The app includes the Adaptive HRV Tracker which helps you track your HRV using Apple Watch or Polar H10 and tag the recordings where your heart rate variability is in its most adaptive state. For some people it will be during sleep, some people can achieve it through breathing, some others are naturally fractal during periods of rest.

Fractal Variability Explained

Fractal patterns are found throughout nature - from coastlines to heartbeats. A healthy heart doesn't beat like a metronome; it has natural variability that follows fractal patterns.

DFA Alpha Analysis

SomaSync uses Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) to measure the fractal characteristics of your heart rate variability. This gives you a more accurate picture of your nervous system's adaptability.

Real-Time Biofeedback

The app provides real-time haptic feedback through your Apple Watch, guiding your breathing in sync with your body's natural rhythms.

Benefits of Fractal Training

• Improved stress resilience
• Better recovery
• Enhanced cognitive performance
• More adaptive nervous system

The Technology

SomaSync processes heart rate data from Apple Watch or Polar H10 sensors, applying advanced algorithms to create personalized breathing guidance.
