How Lief Works
Lief is a small patch worn on the torso that measures HRV continuously using ECG-quality sensors. When stress is detected (HRV drops), it delivers gentle vibrations to guide your breathing back to a calmer state.
Clinical Applications
Lief is used by therapists and mental health professionals as part of anxiety treatment protocols. The therapist dashboard allows clinicians to track patient progress and HRV patterns between sessions.
