If your heart is important to you .. time to make it better. Time for DROP.
Remember .. if Drop drops out before 2 minutes (no pun intended), you need to update your Vivoactive HR firmware to at least 2.65 beta.
Thank you

Note .. screen shots are subject to change, see full change log below for updated details. Screen shots may be simulated to show application operation.
Now .. measure your Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) for 1 and 2 minute time frames.
Drop has been tested on firmware versions 2.60, 2.65 beta, 2.71 beta, 2.74 beta, 2.80, 2.90, 3.30 .... to 3.90
FULL VERSION HISTORY - CHANGE LOGS
[Version 1.19] June 7 / 2017

- Changed Drop startup routine to be like my other applications.
- Improved exit routine with no summary screen when no starting HR value received.
[version 1.13] August 7/2016
- Changed summary screen to display more useful data. Now included starting HR values as well as 20-120 second readings. Thank you to LARS for the great suggestion.
- If you exit early by accident .. the summary screen will now update your Drop HR data on that screen as well. So do not move unless you really want to exit. ;-)

Application Details
Configuration:
No configuration required
Requirements:
Ant+ Heart Rate strap optional .. but highly recommended for best results. Optical Heart Rate (OHR) will work as well (Vivoactive HR 2.65 beta or newer firmware recommended for OHR use), however I still recommend using a HR strap if available.
Remember .. the more the drop, the better your heart.
Not a substitute for real medical advice. :)
