Effects of a Passive Online Software Application on Heart Rate Variability and Autonomic Nervous System Balance Beverly Rubik, PhD1–3 Abstract
Objective: This study investigated whether short-term exposure to a passive online software application of purported subtle energy technology would affect heart rate variability (HRV) and associated autonomic nervous system measures. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled clinical trial (RCT). The study took place in a nonprofit laboratory in Emeryville, California. Twenty healthy, nonsmoking subjects (16 females), aged 40–75 years, participated. Quantum Code TechnologyTM (QCT), a purported subtle energy technology, was delivered through a passive software application (Heart+ App) on a smartphone placed
