HRV app. Discussion, report bugs, suggested features, etc...

HRV
Get the app.

Graphing.
The design currently only saves to 1 location per day. The timestamp is taken when the test starts, so autostart will take the timestamp at the scheduled time. This means that any saved test will overwrite any previous test of that same day. A day is calculated from the local timezone, so travelling won't disrupt the storage so long as you have updated the timezone before starting the test. The averages are a 30 day mean average.

Description & Explanation
Wouldn't that be nice. Will happen, but might take a while.
This page could be useful.

Notes
- Your device must have firmware that supports Connect IQ Apps.
- You can save the results by creating a log file. To do this you must work out which name has been applied to the HRV app file. The apps are in the /GARMIN/APPS folder. It will be a name something like A6227C9B.PRG. You then create a log file with the same name, e.g /GARMIN/APPS/LOGS/A6227C9B.TXT. Each reading you save will output a result formatted as ISO8601 date & time, hrv, avg pulse, 30 day hrv avg, 30 day pulse avg.

    Quite possible that within the next couple of months I will return to this project for a refresh, and I expect that will include supporting the Vivoactive.


    Great! Let me know if you need any support.

    Thankyou

    Really like the app. Using 920xt. If I can help with ongoing beta testing please let me know.
  • Great app! Thank you very much for your work.

    I am using the app for a few days now and I am wondering what "samples" vs "expected" values you guys get. For me the two values usually do not match.
    My last to mesurments:
    107 vs. 139
    107 vs. 133

    What values do you guys usually get? I am just curious...

    Maybe I'll try to use some gel on the strap to see if the mesurements improve (mostly it's the Pulse that goes "red")

    It's not uncommon that they don't match exactly, even in there is a perfect connection, because samples is the amount of packets used in the calculation, whereas expected is an average based on pulse & time. While I need to make sure I have things set up properly, my numbers are usually very close, if not a match. But rest assured that due to the way I handle the data, you should usually still get the same result, even if packets aren't received.

    struggling with data download

    Hi, I've used high level Polar monitors and recently a Wahoo strap with an iphone app to send raw R-R data to our team physiologist daily for years. I think they use Kubios for their analysis, but the data files both from Polar and the simple iphone app have always been a simple long string of milisecond numbers. Super simple. Unfortunately the polar software is long obsolete and the iphone app is not supported and doesn't work with the new iOS. I need this data, daily and would like for the collection and emailing to our physiologist to be as quick and easy as possible. If it is going to be a bunch of steps I can continue to use the old Polar system, which I consider cumbersome and a pain that I am trying to avoid.
    Today I went out and bought a Garmin 920 and a far as I can tell have followed all the steps outlined in this thread to accomplish getting this raw data(I've also switched on per second recording and installed the R-R recording setting file). While the watch seems decent, a critical component for me is to somehow collect this R-R data, every day otherwise the watch is kinda useless to me.

    in the LOGS folder I now have two files. A6227C9B.bak, which is just a bunch of gibberish. and A6227C9B.txt, but all it contains is a string of HRV and HR averages. One line, maybe 20 numbers, now that I have saved two 8 minute tests. In the DATA folder there is a file A6227C9B.str, again just gibberish.

    I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. thanks.

    I have not enabled the output of the raw data.

    OK.
    I obviously misunderstood what people were "downloading".
    Might you make the raw data available?
    This would be a very useful feature, at least to me.

    I think I understand your position. There are a few reasons why I had not made this available. Sadly, to be safe, I always have to consider the worst case scenario. I don't want to full up the 920 storage if a user does not do their own "housekeeping". Exporting the data was over complicated because I felt to protect a user & their data from malicious users. The features you want are very simply to implement, and a sensible user would have no problems in an honest world. There have been updates to CIQ that are making this easier, but essentially I have not revisited the project since the first concept.

    Accuracy

    Hi, thank for your work. I used your app with an optical heart rate. Do u think those number can be good. Some places write that variability from optical are not good. You have any experience about if it can work or not. Thank
