RHR TREND ANALYSIS TEMPLATE
==============================
My 30-day average RHR: ___ bpm
My 7-day average RHR: ___ bpm
Today's RHR: ___ bpm
7-day vs 30-day difference: ___ bpm
If 3+ bpm HIGHER: Investigate (illness? stress? alcohol? poor sleep?)
If stable or declining: On track
Notable spikes this month (date + possible cause):
1. ___
2. ___
3. ___
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
The variation in time between consecutive heartbeats (measured in milliseconds). Higher HRV generally indicates better autonomic nervous system balance and recovery capacity.
Critical context: HRV is highly individual. Your own baseline and trends matter far more than comparing to others.
Factor
Effect on HRV
Age
Decreases with age (20s: 40-100ms; 50s: 20-50ms typical)
Total sleep time and consistency (same bed/wake times)
Sleep efficiency (time asleep / time in bed) -- target 85%+
Trends over weeks, not individual nights
How you FEEL matters more than what the device says
Activity and Step Metrics
DAILY ACTIVITY FRAMEWORK
===========================
Steps per day:
Under 5,000: Sedentary
5,000-7,499: Low active
7,500-9,999: Somewhat active
10,000-12,499: Active
12,500+: Highly active
Weekly movement targets (WHO guidelines):
Moderate activity: 150-300 min/week (brisk walk, cycling)
OR Vigorous activity: 75-150 min/week (running, HIIT)
PLUS Strength training: 2+ days/week
PLUS Reduce prolonged sitting (break every 30-60 min)
Blood Oxygen (SpO2)
SpO2 Level
Interpretation
95-100%
Normal
90-94%
Below normal -- consult physician if persistent
Below 90%
Seek medical attention
Wearable SpO2 limitations: Consumer devices can be off by 2-4%. Position, skin tone, cold fingers, and motion affect readings. Overnight SpO2 dips may indicate sleep apnea -- share data with your doctor if concerned.
Device-Specific Guidance
Apple Watch
Strongest metrics: Heart rate, irregular rhythm notifications, fall detection, ECG Key app: Apple Health (aggregate data), Heart Rate app Tips:
Enable Background Heart Rate for continuous monitoring
ECG feature is FDA-cleared for atrial fibrillation detection -- take readings when you feel palpitations
Cardio Fitness (VO2 Max estimate) is useful for tracking aerobic fitness over months
Blood Oxygen readings are most accurate at rest, not during exercise
Fitbit
Strongest metrics: Sleep tracking, Active Zone Minutes, Daily Readiness Score Key app: Fitbit app (Premium unlocks detailed insights) Tips:
Recovery score (0-100%) drives training decisions: green (67-100%), yellow (34-66%), red (0-33%)
Strain score quantifies cardiovascular load -- aim for strain matching your recovery
Sleep Coach provides personalized sleep need based on strain
No screen means no distractions, but data is only accessible via phone

Monthly Review (20 minutes)
Look at 30-day trend charts for RHR, HRV, sleep, and activity. Ask:
Is my resting heart rate trending down or stable? (Good)
Is my HRV trending up or stable? (Good)
Am I consistently hitting 7+ hours of sleep?
Are there recurring patterns (weekend sleep debt, Monday stress spikes)?
Did any lifestyle changes show measurable impact?
Correlation Analysis
The real power of wearable data is identifying cause-and-effect patterns in YOUR body.
Common Correlations to Investigate

Test each variable for 2 weeks and note effects on your data:
ALCOHOL:
0 drinks --> Next day RHR: ___ HRV: ___ Sleep quality: ___
1-2 drinks --> Next day RHR: ___ HRV: ___ Sleep quality: ___
3+ drinks --> Next day RHR: ___ HRV: ___ Sleep quality: ___

MEAL TIMING:
Last meal 3+ hrs before bed --> Sleep quality: ___ RHR overnight: ___
Last meal 1-2 hrs before bed --> Sleep quality: ___ RHR overnight: ___
Red Flags That Warrant Medical Attention
Do not rely on your wearable for medical diagnosis, but DO bring these patterns to your doctor:
Persistent RHR elevation (10+ bpm above your baseline for several days)
Irregular heart rhythm notifications from Apple Watch or similar devices
Repeated SpO2 drops below 90% during sleep (possible sleep apnea)
HRV collapse that does not recover after rest days
Sudden exercise intolerance reflected in unusually high HR during normal activities
Persistent low body temperature or sudden temperature spikes (Oura)
Unexplained changes in any metric lasting more than 1-2 weeks
Common Mistakes with Wearable Data
Mistake
Why It Is a Problem
Better Approach
Obsessing over daily numbers
Day-to-day variation is normal and noisy
Focus on 7-day and 30-day trends
Comparing your HRV to others
HRV is highly individual
Compare only to your own baseline
Trusting sleep stages precisely
Consumer accuracy is limited
Use total sleep time and efficiency instead
Ignoring how you feel
Devices miss context (stress, hormones, etc.)
Subjective feel + data = best approach
Wearing device loosely
Poor skin contact = bad data
Snug fit 1-2 finger widths above wrist bone
Never charging / removing
Skin irritation, incomplete data
Charge during low-activity periods
Making medical decisions from data
Consumer wearables are not medical devices
Share data with your doctor, don't self-diagnose
Exporting and Sharing Data

Output Format
When interpreting wearable data for a user, provide:
Data quality assessment -- Is enough data available? Are there gaps or accuracy concerns?
Baseline establishment -- What are the user's personal norms for key metrics?
Trend analysis -- What is improving, declining, or stable over the relevant timeframe?
Correlation insights -- What lifestyle factors appear to influence their metrics?
Actionable recommendations -- Specific, prioritized changes based on the data
Tracking plan -- What to monitor and when to reassess
Red flag check -- Any patterns that warrant medical attention
Disclaimer reminder -- Reiterate device limitations and the importance of professional medical guidance
Example
Input: "My Apple Watch says my HRV is 28ms and my resting heart rate is 72bpm. Are these good or bad? I am 35 and moderately active."
Output:
Wearable Data Interpretation
Device: Apple Watch | Age: 35 | Activity level: Moderate
Heart Rate Variability (HRV): 28ms
Context
Range
Your Status
Average for age 35
35-65ms
Below average
Athletic
60-100+ ms
Well below
Sedentary
20-40ms
Low-normal
What HRV measures: The variation in time between heartbeats. Higher = better recovery, lower stress, more resilient nervous system. Your 28ms suggests: Possible elevated stress, poor sleep quality, overtraining, or just your individual baseline.
Important: One reading means nothing. Track the TREND over 2-4 weeks. A consistent downward trend matters more than a single number.
Resting Heart Rate (RHR): 72bpm
Context
Range
Your Status
Average adult
60-80bpm
Normal
Active/fit
50-65bpm
Above this range
Athlete
40-55bpm
Above this range
Your 72bpm suggests: Normal but room for improvement with consistent cardio training. Expect this to drop 5-10bpm over 3-6 months of regular aerobic exercise.
What to Watch (Trends, Not Snapshots)
HRV dropping over several days: you may be getting sick, overtraining, or under-sleeping
RHR rising by 5+ bpm from baseline: possible illness, dehydration, or stress
Both improving over weeks: your fitness and recovery are improving
Action Items
Measure HRV at the same time daily (morning, before getting up) for 2 weeks to establish YOUR baseline
Focus on sleep quality first -- it has the biggest impact on HRV
Add 2-3 zone 2 cardio sessions per week (conversational pace, 30-45 min) to improve both metrics
Note: Wearable data is directional, not clinical. Consult a healthcare provider for medical concerns.
Edge Cases
Incomplete information: Ask clarifying questions before proceeding. Do not assume details the user has not provided.
Out of scope requests: Redirect to appropriate professional resources when the request exceeds educational guidance.
Conflicting requirements: Present trade-offs clearly and let the user decide priorities.
