Her company has developed a wearable biofeedback device that allows meditators to measure their physiological response to meditation through a metric called heart rate variability (HRV). For those unfamiliar with HRV, Dr. Rozman explains the concept in-depth in this episode and why its such an important metric for understanding your mind and body. (Measured over 24 hours, HRV can even predict with some accuracy when your heart will stop beating!)

Before working at HeartMath, she was the Executive Vice President of Biogenics, Inc., a biotechnology company that grew its sales 5x during her tenure. She co-authored several books as part of HeartMath’s Transforming Series: Transforming Stress, Transforming Anger, Transforming Anxiety, and Transforming Depression.
