If you want an accurate way of monitoring Nervous System Balance & Resilience, the best way to do so is to measure your Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the beat-to-beat changes in heart rate. It is a well-established and clinically-validated marker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) balance, with increases in HRV indicating a more balanced ANS.
There are many factors that can influence HRV, including:
However, in general, a higher HRV is considered to be a good thing, and is associated with better overall health and wellbeing.
There are a number of ways to measure HRV. Until now, one of the most common has been through the use of a heart rate monitor or a wearable, but with the NeuroFit app, HRV can be measured through most modern mobile phone cameras in just one minute.

At NeuroFit we recommend taking your HRV measurement at the same time each day (e.g. after waking up and before breakfast) to maximise data consistency.
HRV is a useful tool to help you understand how your body is responding to different stressors. By tracking your HRV with NeuroFit over time, you can form a better picture of how your body is coping with stress and how different life aspects and habits are impacting the nervous system,? and understand which adjustments will lend themselves best to a regulated nervous system.
