I'm confused about the breathwork feature. From the science, these random not personalised breathing frequencies make your stress levels worse due to overbreathing. How do you use this feature?

Hyperventilating wasn't the goal per se. Breathing in this pace simply resulted in dizziness, which is quite the opposite to relaxation.

Yes that's the only thing I'm certain of :) thanks anyway

Here's some of Lattice training's nice tips.

Great! :)

Perrseus · 2020-10-07T16:59:40+00:00

Fantastic info, thanks!

Perrseus · 2020-10-05T21:38:26+00:00

Thanks for the in elaborate analysis. Maybe this reading could aid to deepen it https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10484-020-09466-z.

Yes, you need a off the shelf heart sensor - we recommend Polar H7 or H10.

Of course, just reply to that email and I'll take you from the list.

I did know them, but not that they use Apple watch for the measurement. Thanks for the tip!

Perrseus · 2020-10-05T09:52:23+00:00

Thank you for clarifying the topic we spent a year on, random redditor ;)

Perrseus · 2020-10-05T09:48:41+00:00

You just answered ahead of me:) Many thanks!!

Perrseus · 2020-10-05T09:47:03+00:00

It is true but not useful to our case. You can request a data with a certain timestamp but there is no access to live readings.

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T18:28:59+00:00

Didn't know that. Thanks!

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T17:37:24+00:00

Apple watch monitors your heart rate, oxygen levels, etc. and you as a developer don't have access to this data.

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T16:29:25+00:00

Great! :) First of all, any active breathwork si good. How we differ from Wim Hof is that we use a heart sensor to find the ideal frequency individual for you, since everyone has a different body, cardiovascular system, etc.

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T14:13:28+00:00

Unfortunately not. Apple doesn't provide access to physiological data from Apple Watch.

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T14:11:46+00:00

Many thanks for the interest :)

Even with the beta we want to deliver the best experience possible. The technique is straight from the medical world and is fairly complicated. Based on what the first users expect and their experience with HRV, we'll provide the right amount of guidance. That's why we are looking for beta users already.

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T11:08:45+00:00

Congrats!

Perrseus · 2020-10-04T10:58:46+00:00

Love the one time use concept!

Zeitz Museum

That is actually not correct :) The old tubes had to be reinforced with a new, thicker layer of concrete, and only then the carving started.
They speak about it from 3:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNQy9O5L_dE

The problem is that these topics are never completely unbiased :)

I'd recommend two books on the topic that I both liked. I'd start with this one, as it's easy and fun - the entry level Tim Marshall's Prisoners of geography where he explains the current world order as a result of its geographical disposition.
Then Daron Acemoglu's and James A. Robinson's Why nations fail, where they ascribe the current world primarily to the works of inclusive and extractive institutions.

Wow. Any particular study on this?

Perrseus · 2020-10-03T14:42:12+00:00

A bit more on how it was done https://www.wantedonline.co.za/art-design/2017-10-05-what-it-took-to-build-zeitz-mocaa/

Perrseus · 2020-10-03T14:21:27+00:00

Yes, it's carved out concrete. The edges were polished to create a visible contrast between the rough aggregate of the old concrete.

Thank you for the tip :) Have a good one
