Accessing Running Dynamics (Ground Contact Time and Vertical Oscillation) or HRV?

Is there any way to access Running Dynamics via CIQ? I'm looking for Ground Contact Time and Vertical Oscillation. I'd also like to access Heart Rate Variability information.

    The SDK makes it possible to access Ant devices. Could this be used to access the footpod or the RUN-HR strap directly? Would this be possible when the Ant device is also being used by the 920XT directly?
  • For Widgets and Apps, if you do the wiring. I'd rather expose it in a nicer way for y'all.

    I appreciate that! To be clear, I could have the HRM strap in use by the 920XT and in parallel I could also access the Ant data directly? I was concerned that thing would get confused with the data going to two different sinks.

    Does that make sense?

    I'd really like to have a display of GCT as a percent of gait cycle, and VO as an excess over the movement due to ballistic trajectory. Likewise, I'd love to display HRV and to normalize HRV against heart rate (rMSSD/AVNN).

    Perfect! Please add. This is exact question I had.

    I just purchased the fenix 3 HR + HRM tri, and really would like to have access to
    1. the addition data from the HRM. If it has a gyro or accelerometer, I'd love to be able to tell the position of the user's torso. For example, tell what their posture is like over time.

    2. The first beat API/data. I'd like to be able to read things like the HRV over time. I know someone created an HRV app, but they calculated the value themselves, and I'd rather just get it from you.

    3. Is it possible to get the sleep state data? I have had a vivofit for 3 years, and I'd love to get the deep/light sleep vs awake. ;-)

    Thanks Alpha Monkey!

    Sincerely,
    Christopher

    Is there any news on accessing Running Dynamics or HRV via Connect IQ?
