F.I.N.E. is a cardiac interoceptive training technology designed to improve interoceptive precision and awareness. It also aims to reduce symptoms of anxiety and distress in psychiatric conditions. With its fine-tuning capabilities and continuous integration into mobile platforms, it provides users with a potent tool to enhance interoceptive precision and awareness by regulating physiological responses. F.I.N.E. is designed for an optimal user experience. Its fine-tuning feature allows users to adjust their perceived heart rate, fostering a personalized and effective interoceptive training journey. When delving into the realm of understanding and distinguishing physiological cues, F.I.N.E. takes a step ahead by introducing an extra feature. This tool allows users not only to detect and discriminate but also fine-tune their perception, akin to adjusting the signal dial on a radio. The device seamlessly integrates with mobile applications, enabling users to engage in real-time monitoring and training at their convenience. The potential applications of F.I.N.E., especially in mental health intervention, make it a groundbreaking development in the field.
