No Software Upgrade Cost for Owners of Alive
Heart Rate (HRV) & Skin Conductance
Higher Accuracy than IOM or Lightstone
Strong, Durable, Individually Replaceable Heart Rate and Skin Conductance Sensors
USB Connection - Windows and macOS Compatible

Information for Professionals

Works with Alive, Alive Clinical and Alive Pioneer
200 samples per second accuracy allows Smoothness / HRV training for people with low heart rate variability
Wide skin conductance range and high precision allows training skin conductance* for people with relatively dry hands. *note the BioSignals HS does not provide a numeric value for skin conductance in uSiemens
Use 2 BioSignals HS devices with Alive Pioneer to train Smoothness (HRV) or Skin Conductance of 2 users simultaneously
Train Heart Rate, Smoothness (HRV), BVP Amplitude (BVP Amplitude training requires Alive Pioneer), and Skin Conductance (Skin Conductance not available in Alive Home)

New HRV & Skin Conductance Sensor — High Sensor Accuracy, Ease-of-use, & Comfort!

Alive is terrific for kids and teens. So far I have used it primarily with 11 to 16 year-olds. With other systems, I could never get an accurate heart rate signal from many younger children because they were so wiggly, and I often had to have very short training sessions because of their short attention span. With Alive, these children sit quietly and don't want to stop, even after 55 minutes. To quote one young boy who caught on immediately: "I have to stay calm even when things get hard."

Adam Kahn, parent

We got a call from the school principal: Our son is doing better! I'm sure that Dual Drive has been a factor in his improvement. I love watching him calm down and breathe.
