### IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

BradBeat HRV is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice.
Always consult your physician for medical concerns or questions.

### Why Track HRV?

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the most valuable biofeedback metrics for understanding daily stress and recovery. By monitoring HRV regularly, you gain insight into your autonomic nervous system-specifically the balance between “fight-or-flight” and “rest-and-digest” responses.

Tracking HRV helps you:

* Evaluate recovery and readiness to train
* Detect excess stress before burnout occurs
* Improve sleep and lifestyle balance
* Make smarter performance and wellness decisions

Once limited to advanced performance labs, HRV tracking is now accessible at home with BradBeat HRV. View real-time RR interval data, build a personal baseline, and monitor trends with intuitive charts and graphs.

### Simple, Guided Experience

Not a tech expert? No problem. BradBeat HRV is designed to be simple and intuitive.

Choose from:

* Morning HRV Checkup: A quick three-minute readiness reading
* Anytime HRV Session: Check stress levels and restore calm anytime

If your stress threshold is elevated, the app guides you through a calming breathing session with relaxing visuals to help restore balance.

### Key Features

* Detailed Stats Screen: View comprehensive HRV metrics (“geek mode”)
* Real-Time Graphing: Watch heart rate and RR intervals build live
* Export Data: Email RR intervals and session metrics in .csv format
* Relax Mode:Use the built-in breathing pacer and customizable calming images
* Cloud Upload: Create a free BradBeat account to save sessions at http://www.BeatHealthy.com
* Session Sharing: Email complete session data for personal analysis
* Apple Health Viewing: View Apple Health data from Apple Watch or other devices (view-only; not used in HRV calculations)
* Training Integration: Connect HRV data with TrainingPeaks

Take control of your stress, optimize recovery, and train smarter-one reading at a time-with BradBeat HRV.

Version History We’ve refreshed BradBeat HRV to make your experience smoother and more reliable.

This update includes minor bug fixes, performance improvements, and usability enhancements throughout the app. We’ve also updated underlying components to ensure better compatibility with current iOS versions and supported heart rate devices.

Thank you for using BradBeat HRV to guide your training, recovery, and stress balance. 2.3 Mar 4 New look and feel! Same great accuracy.

We are introducing the concept of Groups. Your coach or practitioner can create a Group and member's key with SweetBeat Professional. You can affiliate your account with this group using the supplied group name and member's key in the BradBeat app. The creator of the Group will then have the ability to download and view all of your sessions." 2.2 11/14/2022 - BradBeat is now supporting the Wellue DuoEK hand held heart rate monitor and the Wellue VisualBeat patch heart rate monitor. A welcome alternative for the chest strap! All previous heart rate monitor chest straps are still supported. You can find the link in the app under General> Purchase Heart Rate Monitor.
- View Respiration Rate, SDNN and VLF in realtime, while performing a monitoring session. 
- BradBeat HRV now calculates a new and important metric, your Decelerating Capacity(DC) and Accelerating Capacity(AC). DC and AC metric will measure how quickly your heart rate responds and increases when you inhale and how quickly your heart rate decreases on an exhale. Best measured when performing rhythmic breathing. This is yet another measurement of the robustness of your autonomic nervous system.
- We have also updated your Share data with the new metrics so now you have even more data you can analyze outside of the app. 2.1 10/10/2022 BradBeat HRV is now importing and displaying your Apple Health data that is captured from your iWatch or other devices which are configured to update data in the Apple Health app! The Apple Health app data is for viewing purposes only. It is not used in any of the HRV calculations or correlations.

3 different graphs will be presented to you in BradBeat HRV: Resting HR, Average HR and Average SDNN. Please note that Resting Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability (SDNN) metrics are only available on iPhones running IOS 11 or later and WatchOS 4 or later. Average Heart Rate is supported on the iWatch Series 1 and later. 2.0 08/27/2019 Minor modifications 1.1 04/02/2019 1.0 03/30/2019
