TIPS

Cold fingertips and cold air can affect the measurement. You may need to warm your hands before you start.

The sensor is sensitive to light sources. Cover the entire sensor area with your fingertip to block all light.

Gently touch the pulse sensor; do not press hard.

Keep still and calm during measurement. Moving about can affect the reading.

Wait the proper amount of time: Measurements can take 6-12 seconds depending on the stability of the signals received.

What is your stress index?

The stress index measurement is based on heart rate variability, which indicates your involuntary nervous system’s status.
