Alive Sensors
Choosing a Sensor
Alive, and all Alive games, can be used with any of the following sensors. If you already own one of the sensors below, you can purchase Alive and use it with that sensor. If you don't own a sensor, or are looking to upgrade, you can purchase Alive bundled with a sensor of your choice. All sensors below include a heart rate sensor that measures HRV (which in Alive we call Smoothness).
The GP8 Amp is a professional USB multi-modality sensor built by J&J Engineering. The GP8 Amp measures Temperature, 2 Channel EMG, SCL (skin conductance), ECG heart rate, BVP heart rate, and optionally, Breathing. This sensor is highly accurate, but more difficult to use. This is a good choice for trained professionals looking to make the most out of Alive. Alive can use the GP8 Amp together with the iFeel Sensor. The iFeel Sensor has a more comfortable and easy to use finger and ear heart rate sensor. If you want to train EMG, Temperature, or Respiration, or if you want a highly accurate skin conductance measurement, choose the GP8 Amp. The GP8 Amp also has inexpensive replacement sensors available, so this is a good long-term investment. Windows only.
- For Trained Professionals
- Heart Rate (ECG, Finger & Ear), HRV (Smoothness), Skin Conductance, Temperature, Respiration, 2-Channel EMG
- USB — Windows Only
Alive is available for the hospital grade iFeel Bluetooth Sensor. This highly accurate and comfortable sensor measures heart rate, HRV, SpO2 and blood volume pulse amplitude. To avoid charging, and more easily connect to your computer use the iFeel USB Sensor. This is our least expensive, yet most accurate heart rate device. The iFeel Sensor comes with both finger and ear sensors. If you only need heart rate / HRV we suggest purchasing the iFeel Sensor. Works with Windows and Mac.
- Easy to Use
- Heart Rate, HRV (Smoothness), SpO2
- Bluetooth or USB — Windows & Mac
These accurate, easy to use sensors come in two versions, the HS and HS+ 4-Channel.
The BioSignals HS measures heart rate (HRV) and skin conductance and replaces the older IOM / Lightstone sensors. The BioSignals HS is more accurate than the IOM / Lightstone and has more durable, individually replaceable, sensors.
The BioSignals HS+ 4-Channel System measures heart rate (HRV), respiration (breathing belt), skin conductance, and temperature.
If you want to easily train respiration, but without the complexity of the GP8 Amp, purchase the BioSignals HS+ 4-Channel system. The BioSignals HS+ is cheaper and easier to use then the GP8 Amp, as it has fewer sensors and cables. Purchase the GP8 Amp if you want to train EMG, ECG or 2-Channels of Respiration (chest and abdomen simultaneously). The GP8 Amp also includes 4 heart rate sensors: 1 ear clip heart rate sensor, 1 rubber finger heart rate sensor, 1 hard plastic finger heart rate sensor, and a set of ECG sensors.
- Easy to Use, Individually Replaceable Sensors
- Heart Rate, HRV (Smoothness), HS+ 4-Channel also includes Respiration Belt and Temperature
- USB — Windows & Mac
Wild Divine has discontinued production of IOM and Lightstone sensors. Many clinicians prefer Wild Divine sensors as they provide both heart rate and skin sweat in a simple and easy to use USB package. Somatic Vision has a large inventory of open box / gently used Lightstone sensors still available for sale for use with Alive. All Lighstone sensors have been fully tested and come with a 90-day warranty. If you want heart rate, HRV, and skin conductance in an easy to use device, choose the Lightstone sensor. This is our easiest-to-use sensor. Works with Windows and Mac computers.
- Easiest Sensor to Use
- Heart Rate, HRV (Smoothness), Skin Conductance
- USB — Windows & Mac
Alive is available in a version that works with the USB HeartMath emWave sensor. The emWave sensor measures heart rate, and includes the emWave Coherence measurements along with the standard Alive Smoothness (HRV). All packages of Alive that include an emWave sensor include both earclip and finger sensors. Works with Windows and Mac computers.
- Includes both Finger and Ear Sensors
- Heart Rate, HRV (Smoothness & HeartMath Coherence Available)
- USB — Windows & Mac
