ZENSPIRE Army®, the solution
for managing stress during interventions, improving sleep and optimizing recovery!
What with our recurring daily problems, wandering thoughts and daily stress, we fast get caught into a vicious circle that is harmful to our sleep and health.
Over time, these same anxieties are likely to crop up again and again and turn into a real social handicap.
ZENSPIRE® offers defence and security professionals, institutions and public services a course on cardiac coherence to free themselves from stress, improve sleep and optimize recovery!
Cardiac Coherence
is a natural state of physical, physiological and mental balance
Most of us generally breathe in a short, jerky fashion at between 12 and 20 cycles per minute.
The state of Cardiac Coherence is not spontaneous, but can be achieved through voluntary breathing practice, induced by slower beats:
6 inhalations / 6 exhalations per minute (i.e., one inhalation / exhalation every 10 seconds).
Once we are able to regulate our breathing, all our vital functions become harmonized, leading to better stress management.
What benefits can I expect?
Breathing deeply and thoroughly in a state of cardiac coherence is a simple, fast and effective way of regulating heart rate variability. It naturally induces a state of centeredness and physiological as well as emotional stability, resulting in a feeling of calm.
Heart activity is immediately balanced by regular breathing and calms you down, sending a reassuring message to the brain:
“I’m in control, no stress”!
It looks quite simple, but it’s all about learning how to breathe at the right pace.
Guides do exist, of course, in the form of audio or apps, but they are not suited to the constraints of the field.
What’s more, dozens of studies have demonstrated a direct link between stress and the smartphone, and the need to disconnect has never proved greater.
ZENSPIRE Army® works by itself: NO NEED of a wifi orBluetooth
connection, or of a link to a smartphone or computer.
Just press on the device and start the exercise.
All the operator has to do is
concentrate on breathing, and breathe to the beat of the light or vibration.
Light and vibration, an innovative and 100% effective combination
The vibration mode is a real plus, as it frees us from our visual and auditory senses, which are constantly under pressure. Even people who find it hard to concentrate on a sound or image will be able to practice effortlessly.
Vibration also induces a massaging, relaxing effect that promotes relaxation..
Benefits are felt from the very first minute!
In just a few minutes, ZENSPIRE guides you into a regular, induced breathing pattern that slows down your heart rate and calms down your entire nervous system.
Cardiac coherence is a simple breathing practice, ideal for effectively combating stress.

Zenspire Army® was developed in collaboration with the Institut de Recherche Biomédicale des Armées: (IRBA).
It was previewed at Secours Expo in March 2021 and at SOFINS 2021. It is currently deployed by the CABAT (Cellule d'Aide aux Blessés de l'Armée de Terre / Army Wounded Support Unit) and equips numerous special forces.
Zenspire Army® has also been integrated into a study of caregivers in the Paris Fire Brigade’s health division.
ZENSPIRE® devices use complex technology, but they are entirely geared to field experience. There are no complicated settings to adjust, since ZENSPIRE® is operated at the tip of one finger.
ZENSPIRE Army® is shockproof and waterproof, and does not need WIFI or Bluetooth to operate.
This combination means that ZENSPIRE Army® can be used 24/7, under any circumstances, whatever the mission.
“Feedback from participants shows the ZENSPIRE Army®’s format makes it a very user-friendly device. In fact, they say they use it inconspicuously when suffering major stress, on the way back from an operation, to facilitate recovery and initiate sleep after an overnight operation. Several people have reported using it for patients or firefighters during heavy-duty interventions, particularly fires, to speed up the best recovery."
“The ‘Army’ format of ZENSPIRE has proved, in view of its use within the BSPP, to be a stress management tool perfectly suited to military personnel needs, and its format makes operational at all times and in any situation.”
