7. Stress Level |
The body's reaction to a challenge or demand. There are five levels of Stress:
The human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. When you deal with challenges and changes, your body produces physical and mental responses. Stress might be positive, keeping us alert, motivated, and ready to avoid danger. However, stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation.
The application’s Stress Level measurement is based on Baevsky’s Stress Index which is approved for use in the US and in Europe. The index is calculated using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements.
It’s important to note that Stress Levels are indicative only and need to be corroborated with other parameters by a doctor before making a valid diagnosis. Stress Levels are highly dynamic and should be monitored over longer periods to detect abnormal trends.
