Simple, wearable sensors enable the ability to continuously monitor HRV during routine daily activities. Personalized HRV analysis at an individual level showed distinct HRV trajectories, further supporting the utility of using continuous real-world tracking of HRV at an individual level to objectively measure responses to potentially stressful or relaxing settings. This holds promise for identifying personalized stress and calm. However, there remain substantial challenges to fully understanding how to best measure it to extract actionable data to benefit the individual.
