Why HRV matters
Your body's readiness, in one number
Heart rate variability is the beat-to-beat change in your heart rhythm. A higher HRV generally reflects a relaxed, recovered state; a lower HRV suggests stress or fatigue. Breathing is the one automatic function you can also control, which makes it the fastest way to shift your HRV.
Manage stress
Learn to switch on your calm response when you need it, before a meeting, a match or bedtime.
Recover faster
Athletes use HRV training to track readiness and support recovery between sessions.
Focus and clarity
A few minutes of coherent breathing helps you feel balanced, clear-headed and in flow.

Part of Merlin Sports ECP
Turn every ECP session into breathing training.
IntelliSense comes as an option with the Merlin Sports ECP package. While the ECP cuffs work on circulation, clients breathe with the IntelliSense pacer and watch their HRV respond, and HexaGene by Merlin keeps the long-term record.
Booking ECP sessions instead? Add IntelliSense to any ECP session package for AED 50 on a single session or AED 500 on a multi-session package.
Live biofeedback
Watch your breathing change your heart.
Your heart rate and HRV appear right inside the VR scene, with a breathing pacer to follow. As you settle into an even rhythm, the readings show your body moving towards a coherent state.
Built-in scoring and gamification make it easy to keep practising, and even turn it into a team challenge.
Part of a bigger system
Even better with Merlin Sports ECP.
IntelliSense is integrated into the Merlin Sports ECP system, where athletes breathe in sync with the biofeedback while ECP supports circulation, and HexaGene tracks their HRV and recovery between sessions.
