HRV? What does Heart Rate Variability actually measure
HRV scores your ability to stay resilient, to stabilize heart, to recover, deep sleep and so much more
It's the body's performance metric.
18% increase in HRV and 61% increase in vagal parasympathetic activity compared to placebo (PLOS ONE journals)
Scientific Explanation
RMSSD measures HRV (heart rate variability) and is sensitive to parasympathetic changes. A high level indicates a favorable shift in your nervous system balance toward parasympathetic dominance, boosting the body's psychophysiological self-repair mechanism and nervous system resilience.
In a two-stage trial, Nurosym neuromodulation produced 61% increase in vagal tone (HF power), and 18% increase in HRV. These effects persisted beyond the trial, demonstrating a carry-over effect.

Research-Driven Impact
"When it comes to anxiety the papers I've looked at do provide evidence of support that transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation is effective at improving parasympathetic drive, it can reduce fatigue and personally I've seen this improves my HRV when using this device."
