HeartMath Showcases Heart Coherence Science at WHO Global Summit on Traditional Medicine

HeartMath, a pioneering organization in heart coherence research and heart rate variability biofeedback technology, was honored to participate in the Second World Health Organization Global Summit on Traditional Medicine, held in December 2025. The summit, convened by the WHO and the Government of India, brought together over 800 global leaders, policymakers, scientists, and health practitioners from more than 100 countries. HeartMath was one of only 25 evidence-based innovations invited to host an experiential lab within the Summit's Traditional Medicine Discovery Experience, highlighting its significant role in the global health dialogue.

In partnership with The Fyera Foundation, which holds Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, HeartMath curated and led an immersive lab titled "Restoring Balance with the Heart: Science Illuminates the Heart's Role in Balancing Our Bodies, Emotions, and World." The lab introduced delegates to peer-reviewed research on heart-brain interactions, heart rate variability, and emotional self-regulation, supported by real-time biofeedback and practical tools. More than 300 delegates participated, sparking important discussions on integrating heart-based regulation into public health, resilience strategies, and policy development. This collaboration was crucial in elevating HeartMath's science within global health forums, with key WHO leaders experiencing the work directly, inspiring its inclusion in the summit.

HeartMath's research was formally included in the launch of the WHO Traditional Medicine Global Library, the world's largest digital repository of traditional medicine evidence. Key elements from the summit exhibition will remain on permanent display at the WHO Traditional Medicine Headquarters in Jamnagar, India. With over 30 years of experience and more than 400 independent research studies validating its methods, HeartMath's tools—like the Inner Balance Coherence Plus sensor and app—are trusted by organizations such as Stanford Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, NASA, and the United Nations. The organization's impact extends globally through educational resources reaching over 1 million people, making heart coherence practices more accessible.
