HRV Companion
Complement heart rate variability device data with subjective measures. Records perceived stress, recovery state, sleep quality, and physical readiness. Bridges wearable metrics with lived experience for comprehensive health monitoring.
About This Template
Heart rate variability (HRV) is an objective biomarker of autonomic nervous system function and recovery status, but understanding how HRV metrics relate to subjective experience requires connecting device data with self-reported measures. This HRV Companion template is designed to work alongside wearable devices.
Participants record their perceived stress level, sense of recovery, sleep quality, physical readiness for exercise, and any notable symptoms or events. These subjective measures provide context for interpreting HRV readings and help identify which factors most strongly influence autonomic function for each individual.
This template is particularly useful in sports science research, stress intervention studies, wellness program evaluations, and chronic illness monitoring where autonomic dysregulation plays a role. It can also validate whether participants notice changes that align with objective HRV improvements.
The brief daily format is designed to be completed in the morning alongside checking HRV device readings. Researchers can correlate subjective reports with objective device data for comprehensive insights.
