In This Episode You’ll Learn
- The Hanu Health device is primarily a daytime device. Intended to be worn through the day…08:40
- Increase level of self-awareness. Our physiology does not lie. We can try to convince ourselves out of stress, but the body really does keep the score.
- Our device offers real-time training for stress resilience and better self regulation making you more adaptive to stress…11:20
Questions from the Dr.
- Question #1: What metrics are you tracking with Hanu and why, and how are you measuring them?…14:55
- Every measurement comes from physiological data
- HRV, Heart Rate, and movement are the things our device will track.
- SRS: Stress Resiliency Score is an aggregate score to tell you how resilient you are to stress.
- We are looking at macro and micro changes in heart rate which are both useful indicators for measuring nervous system functioning.
- Movement is a key feature. Heart rate naturally responds to movement, so the software is sophisticated enough to capture movement factors as they relate to HRV.
- Data is always used self-comparatively rather than normative comparisons.
- HRV measurement is RMSSD for parasympathetic output or vagal flow
- You will be able to toggle in and out of advanced mode to get some really dense data points on HRV.
- PPG sensor made by Skosh and Valencell. The most accurate sensor array for all skin tones.
- Question #2: What is resonance frequency and how is it assessed and used for training?…25:25
- There is no device on the market right now that measures resonance frequency.
- Dr. Lair, a Hanu Health advisor, coined the term “resonance frequency” and created the protocol for resonance training.
- Resonance frequency: The Hanu app takes you through a 12 minute assessment to find your unique resonant frequency rate.
- The Hanu device will pace you at your own breath rate that will auto populate through your assessment. This customization is awesome.
- Question #3: Are there times when it doesn’t make sense to measure HRV?…33:25
- The answer is yes; as of now. There is no need for continuous HRV monitoring.
- Any type of hormetic stress will reduce in a reduction of heart rate variability. Exercise is a hormetic stress, so it’s not an ideal time to measure HRV. It’s more important to measure HRV pre and post exercise.
- Take a listen to the podcast I did with Marco Altini on Sports Performance and HRV to learn more about how HRV increases after Zone 2 training. Marco Altini Episode
- Times of excessive movement are not valuable times for HRV measurement.
- You have a modified HRV while you eat. It is usually lower, because there is a lot of energy expenditure when you eat.
- HRV is modified while talking.
- Our technology will not penalize you for exercising, eating, or talking. You can provide the input to the smart application for great HRV data.
