Before you start

We recommend reading these guides first:

Beyond Raw Numbers

Health indicators are calculated metrics that combine multiple data points to give you meaningful insights about your health status. They are more actionable than individual vital signs.

Types of Health Indicators

Composite Scores

Sleep Quality Score combines duration, efficiency, stages, and consistency. Recovery Score combines HRV, resting HR, sleep, and activity balance. Stress Index analyzes HRV patterns, heart rate, and sleep disruption. Fitness Level considers activity trends, workout performance, and recovery.

Risk Indicators

Cardiovascular Risk is based on blood pressure, heart rate trends, and activity. Metabolic Health considers blood glucose patterns, weight trends, and activity. Inflammation Markers include HRV depression, elevated resting HR, and poor sleep.

Trend Alerts

Notifications when metrics show concerning patterns like sustained elevation in resting heart rate, declining HRV over multiple days, sleep duration consistently below target, or blood pressure trending upward.

Viewing Indicator Details

Go to the Dashboard or Vitals tab, find the indicator widget, and tap to see the full breakdown including Current Score, Contributing Factors, Trend, and Recommendations.

Acting on Indicators

Green (Optimal) means keep doing what you are doing. Yellow (Attention) is not urgent but worth monitoring. Orange (Caution) means take action soon. Red (Alert) requires immediate attention - consider consulting a healthcare provider.

Important: Health indicators are informational tools, not medical diagnoses. Always consult healthcare professionals for medical concerns.
