Pain and anxiety are often framed as separate conditions, but in reality, they share a common foundation: the nervous system. When the body is stuck in a heightened state of alert, even minor stimuli can feel overwhelming. Biofeedback works by addressing this state directly.

Biofeedback makes internal physiological signals—such as heart rate variability, breathing patterns, and stress responses—visible in real time. These signals reflect how the autonomic nervous system is behaving in the moment. With guidance, users can see how intentional actions like controlled breathing or focused attention immediately influence their physiology.

Over time, this process becomes learning rather than temporary relief. The nervous system begins to recognize calmer states as safe and accessible. Research has shown that this form of training can reduce pain intensity, anxiety, and stress without medication or side effects.

MiraWell builds on this science by pairing biofeedback with immersive digital experiences. The goal is to make regulation intuitive and usable in everyday life—not confined to clinics or therapy sessions. Instead of guessing what helps, users can see it happen, moment by moment.
