Imagine every student having the tools to notice when they’re overwhelmed – and the support to calm themselves down.

That’s the effect of the Spirit Heart Rate Monitor.

At East Elementary in Littleton, Colorado, students wore our heart rate monitors while at school with remarkable results. One second-grade student shared: “I was really emotional and now I’m a little bit stronger and calmer. I feel it’s made a big difference.”

Principal Kelly Card said, “Some of [the parents] have emailed the superintendent saying all kids need to do this, and so it’s good to hear that this is the right work we’re doing for our kids.”

This is social-emotional learning in action: measurable, meaningful and empowering.

Our wearable technology turns unengaged students into highly engaged, motivated students.

A Michigan middle school PE teacher, John Dunlop, used our heart rate monitors for a decade and saw first-hand how the students’ attitudes completely changed.

Regarding a student who had never engaged in class before he had worn our heart rate monitor, this PE teacher said: "I saw a complete change in his attitude, especially at the end of class when he’s downloading and looking at his data. He said, 'Hey, I did pretty good today!' I don’t know if that kid has ever experienced success in PE (before)."

Are you looking to increase engagement and motivation in your PE classes?

It's not just hyperactivity: Kids with ADHD often feel emotions more intensely.

New studies featured in a recent The New York Times Magazine article are reshaping what we thought we knew about ADHD and challenges long-held assumptions about ADHD medication.

🔗 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/magazine/adhd-medication-treatment-research.html

🧠 ADHD isn’t a one-dimensional, strictly biological disorder. Its complexity lies in overlapping co‑conditions, shifting environmental impact, and situational triggers. Medication offers short-term behavioral benefits and undesirable side effects. But boosting emotional, academic and lifelong functioning requires supportive environments, self-regulation training and community involvement.

Our Spirit heart rate monitor lets students see their body’s stress in real time, helping them pause before reacting. This empowers them to learn how to self-regulate their emotions, improving their psychological well-being, academic performance, physical health, relationships and confidence. ✨
