- If you plan on purchasing a device for using the eSense, we suggest a Nokia G10, a Nokia G21, a Motorola Moto E40 or a Xiaomi Redmi 10 as an inexpensive entry-level device.
The skin conductance and biofeedback with the skin conductance sensor
Your skin conductance directly reflects your state of relaxation or stress, making it one of the most precise indicators of stress levels. With the eSense Skin Response, you can easily identify your stress level and reduce it through effective biofeedback training. This training not only helps you manage stress but also addresses related conditions like muscle tension, constipation, and even chronic pain. By regularly practicing biofeedback, you can learn to control your body’s responses to stress, leading to long-term improvements in your well-being.Â
The effect of biofeedback becomes evident through the detailed feedback provided by the eSense device. You can view measurement curves, video displays, and enjoy audio biofeedback, giving you real-time insights into your body’s physiological responses. For a more personalized experience, the eSense now includes a headphone jack, allowing you to listen to your favorite music or audiobooks during each biofeedback session.Â
This type of biofeedback, focused on skin conductance, is ideal for tracking and reducing stress levels. However, biofeedback can also be used for other purposes, such as managing chronic pain and improving conditions like constipation by helping you relax and reduce tension in key areas of the body.Â
The eSense Skin Response app is free and allows you to export your measured data via email for tracking progress. Whether you’re using it with an iPhone 7 or newer models with the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter, this versatile device ensures that biofeedback training fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.Â
Lower your stress level today, and get to know your body better with the eSense Skin Response—an innovative way to improve your health through biofeedback.Â
Advantages of the eSense Skin Response (skin conductance sensor)
The eSense Skin Response is a highly effective biofeedback equipment that offers numerous benefits for your health, particularly in managing stress. One of its greatest advantages is that it provides real-time biofeedback from your body, allowing you to monitor and reduce stress in a modern, uncomplicated way. The eSense Skin Response is lightweight and portable, easily operated through a convenient app, making it perfect for daily use.Â
This state-of-the-art sensor is designed to help you recognize and effectively lower your stress levels. Your body’s skin conductance is a critical indicator of stress, as increased stress levels lead to higher sweat production and, consequently, greater skin conductivity. With the eSense Skin Response, you can monitor these changes in real time and take immediate action to reduce stress.Â
The efficacy of biofeedback is well-documented, especially in stress management and relaxation techniques. Through regular biofeedback training, you can learn to actively control your body’s reactions. By recognizing which situations lead to increased stress and applying specific relaxation techniques, you can lower your stress levels and improve your overall well-being. For instance, the eSense Skin Response can be combined with thermal biofeedback, a method that measures changes in skin temperature, helping you manage both physical and emotional stress.Â
Additionally, the eSense Skin Response can complement other therapies, such as physical therapy, particularly when managing conditions related to stress and tension. Incorporating biofeedback into physical rehabilitation can improve relaxation and muscle control, supporting better recovery and overall health.Â
Overall, the eSense Skin Response is the ideal tool to combat anxiety, nervousness, and stress. By conditioning your body through biofeedback training, you can either avoid stressful situations or train your body to respond more calmly, making stress reduction both time-saving and enjoyable.Â

GENNADIY CHENTSOV –
it seems to be the only available device for measuring the electrical conductivity of the skin at home.It is very modern, inexpensive and records data in microsiemens, which is very important. The received data is transmitted to a smartphone and can be seen as graphs immediately after the measurement and then they can be transferred to a computer for further study. I use it every day to study the basic level of skin resistance to determine stress levels.
