FAQ

Q: What is a research reading?

A: Elite HRV wants to offer our community the flexibility to measure HRV, anytime and anywhere with only their smartphone camera. However, in order to release this technology we need total confidence in its accuracy.

The Research Reading lets you take an HRV reading with your smartphone camera and your validated HRV sensor (like a chest strap or CorSense) at the same time. By doing this, we can compare the results and improve the accuracy of the camera solution.

Thousands of people have already contributed to this research, and every Research Reading helps us tune the algorithms for optimal accuracy. Thank you for helping make accurate HRV guidance more accessible to more people!

Q: Can I take all 5 reasearch readings in one sitting?

A: Yes, that’s no problem. It’s also okay to spread the readings out over multiple days.

Q: How long will this take?

A: Less than 10 minutes. Each research reading takes 90 seconds to complete.

Q: When should I take Research Readings?

A: We suggest taking Research Readings right after your morning reading. However, they can be taken anytime during the day.

Q: Do research readings I’ve taken before today count toward my 5?

A: No, only readings taken from Oct 25 through Oct 31 will count for this challenge.

Q: Where do I take a research reading?

A: Open the Elite HRV app and make sure you’ve downloaded the latest version, 5.5.2. Then, navigate to the Readings screen and tap Research Reading.

Q: Why don’t I see Research Reading in my app?

A: This is because your phone or sensor cannot support the technical requirements of research readings. If this is you, we have an alternative. Take 5 morning readings by midnight Sunday EST, October 31st and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win.
