No Stress Score during activity on Vivoactive 3

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hey everyone,

We have a CIQ application that collects both HR BTB and accelerometry during an activity. For most of the watches we've tested with, we are able to simultaneously collect both sensor data and still receive stress score data from Garmin Health API. However, this doesn't seem to be the case with Vivoactive 3 (Vivoactive 3 Music Wifi and vivoactive3). We currently have tested on 31 watches across Vivoactive 3 family and none of these have valid Stress Scores during an activity. In contrast, all other devices including Venu, Forerunner x45/x55, Fenix6s, etc function as expected. Is this a hardware limitation, something I'm missing in the app configuration, or limitation of SDK API? According to the SDK API chart, Vivoactive 3 API reported version is between 3.1 and 3.2 so I don't suspect an API limitation. Based on the new SDK release 4.0.6, API version 3.3 is required to take and record Stress Score measurements in your app. Which devices do we anticipate will be updated to this API version and over what time period? If I'm not able to report back stress scores from Garmin Health API, can I run my HR BTB data through an api to get back stress scores during that time period?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Have you contacted support for the Health API? This doesn't sound like an issue with Connect IQ.

I haven't since I thought this might be more CIQ / device related. I assumed these calculations were done locally and pushed to the Health API Cloud.

The Health API folks are really the ones to ask, especially if you can see stress on the device or GCM

No stress on device or GCM reported. Seems like stress scores are not being calculated even though I have hr btb during the activity.

I changed up my va3, and used it for a bit. There is a native stress widget and I see the same data in GCM on my phone.

But.. It's data is really bogus. The va3 is showing me stress between 92 and 93, while my current "real" device, 15 to 16!

I'd just drop the va3 as a target for your app. It's old, and I wouldn't expect this to be fixed.
