Biofeedback with the eSense Temperature!

eSense Temperature Sensor eSense Temperature Package

The eSense Temperature is a small sensor to measure your skin temperature with the microphone input of your smartphone or tablet (Android or Apple iOS). Handwarming training is an especially effective and common biofeedback method. The temperature of our hands is connected to our stress level: When we are stressed, we tend to have cold hands.

 

Immediate feedback enables you to voluntarily increase the skin temperature in your fingers, thus increasing your peripheral blood circulation, leading to relaxation and stress reduction. The eSense provides you in various ways with exact feedback about your momentary stress level, e.g. with measurement curves, video display and audio feedback features.

Skin temperature in general

Skin temperature measurement showing peripheral blood circulation and stress response

What is Skin Temperature Biofeedback?

Skin temperature at your fingertips is a direct indicator of your stress level. When you're relaxed, blood flows freely to your extremities—your hands feel warm. Under stress, blood vessels constrict and your fingers become cold.

How It Works: The Stress-Temperature Connection

Your body's stress response is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. When activated, it redirects blood from your hands and feet to your core muscles—preparing you for "fight or flight."

This ancient survival mechanism causes:

  • Vasoconstriction: Blood vessels narrow, reducing peripheral blood flow
  • Temperature drop: Fingertip temperature decreases measurably
  • Cold hands: The classic sign of stress or anxiety

Why Temperature is a Reliable Stress Indicator

Think about a job interview or public speaking—do you remember having cold, clammy hands? That's your sympathetic nervous system in action.

Unlike heart rate, skin temperature changes are slow and sustained, making them ideal for relaxation training. You can clearly see whether you're truly relaxing or still holding tension.

Hand Warming Training: A Proven Technique

Hand warming biofeedback is one of the most effective and easy-to-learn relaxation methods. By intentionally raising your fingertip temperature, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system—the "rest and digest" response.

What You'll Learn

With the eSense Temperature, you develop the ability to:

  1. Recognize when stress is affecting your body
  2. Consciously relax your blood vessels through focused techniques
  3. Increase peripheral blood flow and warm your hands at will
  4. Track your progress with precise measurements over time

Why Real-Time Feedback Matters

Our natural temperature perception is vague—we only sense "warm," "cool," or "cold." The eSense provides precise feedback in real-time, allowing you to see exactly how your body responds to relaxation techniques.

This objective feedback accelerates learning. Most users notice improvements within just a few training sessions—building a skill that lasts a lifetime.

Note: The eSense Temperature is designed for relaxation and stress reduction training. For medical conditions, please consult a healthcare professional.

Mindfield eSense Product Comparison

The eSense Temperature measures peripheral skin temperature — a subtle but powerful indicator of relaxation and blood flow through thermal biofeedback. When you're stressed, blood vessels constrict and finger temperature drops. Learning to warm your hands through peripheral vasodilation is a classic biofeedback technique for stress reduction.

Combine skin temperature biofeedback with other eSense sensors:Temperature + eSense Pulse (Bluetooth): The most popular combination — monitor both peripheral warming and HRV for deep relaxation training • eSense Skin Response: Measures electrodermal activity (EDA) — complementary stress indicator • eSense Muscle: EMG biofeedback for muscle tension awareness • Standalone training: Thermal biofeedback is highly effective on its own for stress reduction and migraine prevention

Note: Temperature uses a 3.5mm audio jack, so it cannot be used simultaneously with Skin Response. However, the Bluetooth-based eSense Pulse works perfectly alongside it.
