MINDFULNESS SUITE
Inna Z. Khazan, Ph.D.
This software package is designed by Inna Khazan, Ph.D., as a tool for any clinician that desires to establish a biofeedback practice with a mindfulness acceptance-based approach.
The software is based on the instructions of Dr. Khazan's book The Clinical Handbook of Biofeedback: A Step-by-Step Guide for Training and Practice with Mindfulness and is an excellent companion tool for quickly enacting her clinical method. All aspects of the Mindfulness suite have been personally tested in Dr. Khazan's private practice, a testament to exacting expectations.
The Mindfulness Suite includes the following:
• Psychophysiological stress profile assessment with automatic graphing of results into an easy-to-read excel report.
• Relaxation profile assessment for evaluation of the individual’s ability to recover and utilize various relaxation or meditative technique in self regulation. The assessment includes an automated excel report that translates relevant data into easy-to-read graphs.
• Choice of resonance frequency evaluations for individuals of different heights, since RF breathing rates are height dependent:
1. Child assessment with higher respiration rates;
2. Assessment for taller individuals with lower respiration rates; and
3. The traditional RF assessment with automatic graphing of results, to simplify data analysis.
• Working-at-a-Computer assessment with an automated Excel reporting function. This assessment follows Dr. Erik Pepper’s template for an effective way to evaluate EMG and breathing activity for individuals who spend significant time working at the computer and experience muscle pain and tension.
• TMJD assessment of muscle function for individuals affected by Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. This assessment allows clinicians to chose from a variety of TMJ activities that are most relevant to each individual client for a comprehensive overview of each individual’s muscle function.
• Simple Baseline recording with an automated excel report to allow clinicians an easy way to record baseline measurements from all peripheral modalities (heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing, muscle tension, temperature, and skin conductance) and receive an Excel report to summarize recorded data.
• Pre-grouped monitoring and training screens, that follow Dr. Khazan’s style of biofeedback training. Data is obtained from muscle tension, respiration, heart rate (BVP or EKG), skin conductance and temperature. The display screens are for 1 or 2-monitor setups.
Documentation in the form of a software manual that instructs the users how to make use of all technical aspects of the equipment, sensor, and software setup, as well as sample client data. The software manual references the specific chapters and pages of Dr. Khazan's book for relevant clinical information.
In order to encourage the success of other clinicians, Dr. Khazan has included several relaxation text scripts to be used with clients during the relaxation profile assessment.
An added benefit of the Mindfulness suite is its visually appealing and soothing design for displaying biofeedback data, which any clinician and client will appreciate. This also includes new, sharp animations/videos for feedback.
