Dave Korsunsky on Tracking your Health Data to Optimize Your Wellness
Heads Up Health was founded by a team of health-conscious technology experts on the simple concept that being healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. We saw a world of disjointed medical records, underutilized health tracking technologies and abundant, but poorly managed, health data. We felt that intelligent software could provide the perfect solution.
Based on our belief that well-organized data holds the key to optimal health, we have created a central space where you can manage and explore your own.
Exploring the BASE-R method for training human resilience with Stephen Robinson

Data for Athletes and Sport Science with Alan Couzens
You are likely falling behind if you aren’t looking at certain data for athlete training and development. Alan Couzens shares his expertise integrating software and data analysis into both recreational training and elite level sport.
Infographic Time: Age isn’t Just a Number, It’s Yours to Control
Everyone ages at different rates. Our “true age” (also “biological age”) actually depends on systemic inflammation: from our lifestyle and environment combining with our genetics. True age represents our capacity for resilience, in tolerating and recovering from the inflammation of life stresses. By increasing this resilience, we could even get younger in true age! It requires frequent tracking of biomarkers like heart rate variability (HRV).
Infographic Time: Hidden Stress and Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Chronic stress is a feature of modern life. It often comes from hidden, unexpected, hard-to-pin-down sources. With appropriate tracking, heart rate variability (HRV) can help identify these sources of chronic stress.
Olympic Training & Elite Endurance with Dr. Daniel Plews & Professor Paul Laursen
Training for a world championship or the Olympics? Not many people make it to that level, but Dr. Daniel Plews and Professor Paul Laursen join us to share what it’s like to train for world class competitions. We cover a lot including HRV patterns of various training phases, acute to chronic ratio relationship to injury, when to establish an HRV baseline in an endurance program, preparing for Kona Ironman World Championships and Olympics, diet choices, the risk of academia, and much more.

Case Study: HRV and Chronic Pain and Anxiety
Psychological factors can affect physical recovery from injury and back pain. This case study is an example of how we used Heart Rate Variability as a guide towards improving psychological factors and ultimately.
How do you calculate the HRV score?
Our HRV score process is broken down as follows:
Why do back-to-back readings sometimes produce different results?
Multiple readings taken in a row can sometimes produce different results. Here are a few reasons this can happen.
How Are Heart Rate Variability And Blood Pressure Related?
Baroreceptors, which are the body’s natural blood pressure sensors located in the aortic arch and internal carotid arteries, contribute to Heart Rate Variability. When you inhale, heart rate increases.
