Heart rate variability is used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.

Optimize your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.

Trust your Instincts. But also confirm them.
