Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is perhaps the single most valuable biofeedback measurement to track your daily stress level and recovery status. Monitoring HRV reveals the truth about your fight or flight stimulation and stress/rest balance. By establishing a baseline HRV patterns with daily monitoring, you can make the most sensible training decisions and take corrective action when you life gets out of balance.

Vastly superior to just tracking resting heart rate, HRV gives you a direct window into the functioning of your autonomic nervous system, particularly the critical balance between the sympathetic “fight or flight” and parasympathetic “rest and digest” stimulation. Only a few years ago, HRV tracking was only possible in sophisticated performance laboratories, but now this brilliant mobile technology allows you track HRV at home, and obtain real-time RR interval data on your mobile screen as you relax in bed. You can archive your HRV readings and track patterns with numerous built-in graphs and charts.

BradBeat HRV can be used with devices running IOS 13 and later.

If you are not a techie, don’t worry! This App is simple and intuitive to use. Choose from an HRV Morning checkup lasting three minutes or an HRV AnyTime option to help you get stress response under control whenever you need to activate mind-body relaxation techniques. If your “stress threshold” is reached, BradBeat HRV prompts you with a deep breathing screen that includes calming images.
