The average HRV score is 59.3 for Elite HRV users. Being above or below average is interesting to know, but it does not tell you whether your score is “good” or “bad”.
We can usually fix any challenges that you might run into, so please feel free to reach out to us at support@elitehrv.com or through the contact boxes within the platform if we can help with anything.
Android now requires location permissions for Bluetooth connections. Elite HRV does not access or save your GPS location, but apparently Bluetooth can be used to triangulate location (which we also don’t do), so it now requires location permissions.
Using Elite HRV’s “Open Reading”, you can take readings for as long or often as you like. Many users use this to take readings overnight to monitor their sleep.

The following video provides step-by-step instructions:
The best way to share your Heart Rate Variability data with your coach or health practitioner is via the Elite HRV Team Dashboard.
Have your coach or health practitioner create a team at https://elitehrv.com/dashboard (if they already have an Elite HRV account, they can use that same account to login there).
You can change your Elite HRV account’s email address by tapping the email address on the Profile/Settings screen within the app and editing or replacing it in the text field. Once you navigate away from that screen, whichever email address is in the email field will automatically be saved as your new email address.
The Morning Readiness gauge indicates your state of relative balance. In other words, it is comparing your HRV values to your recent past and telling you whether your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is in a similar state or if it is swinging widely outside of your norm.
A higher HRV is generally a good thing, but there are exceptions which the app picks up on. You want your HRV to gradually increase over time (weeks, months, years). If you have taken a few Morning Readiness readings, you know that your HRV can go up and down slightly from day to day. This is normal and generally healthy.
During the first week, the app is establishing your baseline. It is looking to see what your average HRV values are as well as how much they fluctuate (standard deviation and coefficient of variation).
To export your raw R-R intervals or Interbeat Intervals (IBIs), simply navigate to the bottom of the Elite HRV app’s Settings screen and tap “Export”.
The export will be emailed to the email address associated with your account. You may export as often as you like. The private/secure link sent to your email expires after a few hours to help protect your data, so please save the export somewhere safe if you would like to keep it longer.
Exporting data from the Web Dashboard is accomplished from the Data tab. The following video illustrates the current steps.
The Morning Readiness gauge indicates your state of relative balance. In other words, it is comparing your HRV values to your recent past and telling you whether your Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is in a similar state or if it is swinging widely outside of your norm.
Grey: You see this indicator type on your first Morning Readiness reading (or if you haven’t taken a MR reading in a while). The grey indicator with a score of n/a shows that you need to establish a baseline of a few days to compare to before you can start receiving Morning Readiness scores, indicators, and recommendations.
If you have data on an Elite HRV account that you no longer use or haven’t used in a while, the best way to transition to a new account with a new email address is to simply change your email address on the original account.
This can be done on the Profile/Settings screen within the app directly or on the Profile/Settings screen in the Web Dashboard.
Heart Rate Variability can be affected by changes in circadian rhythm, hormonal shifts, and acute stressors throughout the day. Also, whatever you were doing before taking a reading has a very strong impact on the reading results.
Certain trends (such as Daily Readiness, Heart Rate Variability and Heart Rate) are viewable directly within the Elite HRV app on your preferred phone or tablet. More advanced trends (such as Coefficient of Variation, Sleep, Exercise) can be found on the web dashboard (link).
When you export from within the app, you receive an email with a download link. That link automatically expires after a few hours, so you need to save the export somewhere safe.
