Heart rate variability (HRV) is highly sensitive to external influences, such as talking, eating, moving or ingesting caffeine.
Continuously tracking it throughout the day may introduce a lot of noise and reduce the reliability of the data for assessing your “true” recovery, readiness, or stress state.
Instead, AlterMe focuses on HRV measurements during more controlled conditions (e.g., overnight or right upon waking) where external stressors are minimal and the values become much more actionable and meaningful.
The AlterMe program is focused around helping you interpret & action on your data. So, we want to make sure it's information that is reliable.
