2. Service Description

Sloow is a wellness application offering audio relaxation sessions based on heart coherence. The app generates adaptive sound that naturally guides your breathing to a rhythm of 6 breaths per minute.

Sloow is not a medical device. The application does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition. Sloow does not guarantee any specific therapeutic benefit. Results may vary from person to person.

3. Audio Protocols and Scientific Research

Scientific foundation

Sloow's audio sessions are based on guided breathing protocols using specific frequencies derived from heart rate variability (HRV) research:

  • Respiratory resonance frequency (0.1 Hz): Breathing at 6 cycles per minute (0.1 Hz) is a technique validated by numerous scientific studies. This frequency corresponds to the documented cardiorespiratory resonance point.
  • Complementary modulation: Some parameters of our audio algorithm incorporate elements based on scientific theories currently being explored (cardiovascular oscillators, vascular tone resonance). These approaches are scientifically grounded but have not yet undergone complete clinical validation.

Exploratory nature

By using Sloow, you acknowledge that:

  • The app uses wellness protocols based on scientific research
  • Some aspects of our approach are novel and still being explored
  • Effects may vary from person to person
  • We do not guarantee any medical, therapeutic, or clinical results

Continuous evolution

Our approach may evolve as scientific understanding advances. We commit to updating our protocols based on new knowledge and informing users of any substantial changes.

Scientific references

Sloow's protocols are notably based on the work of:

  • Lehrer & Gevirtz (2014) - HRV biofeedback
  • Vaschillo et al. (2002, 2011) - Cardiorespiratory resonance
  • Bernardi et al. (2001) - Effect of rhythmic breathing
  • Stefanovska et al. (2007) - Cardiovascular oscillators

These references are provided for informational purposes and do not constitute clinical validation of Sloow.

4. Health Warning
