The StressEraser is an award-winning, portable medical device that relaxes the body and calms the mind in 15 minutes. The StressEraser can be used to quiet the mind before sleeping, rapidly relieve intense stress, and even to stay calm during highly stressful situations. From beat to beat, your heart rate reflects the activity of your stimulating and pacifying nerves. The StressEraser displays these tiny changes as a wave. By watching your wave characteristics in realtime, you learn to adjust your breathing and mental focus. This decreases the activity of the stimulating nerves (thereby decreasing stress) and increases the activity of the pacifying nerves (thereby increasing relaxation). The StressEraser is the recipient of Frost & Sullivan's 2006 Award for Technology Innovation of the Year. The StressEraser was first demonstrated at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association The American Psychological Association (APA) is a professional organization representing psychology in the US.
