Trait
Switching into load
How fast and how far the heart rate rises when the tasks start, compared with the person's own breathing level. Repeats on another day at ICC 0.64 [0.54; 0.72].
Stressonika / Report
Report
One recording, three readers.
The report is built from the session's ECG, tasks and facial channels as soon as the recording ends. It has three sections, one for each reader, and each answer shows the observation it rests on.
The four answers
Two answers describe the person and two describe the day. Each is shown on a three-step scale against all sessions in our data, with the observation it rests on. Switching into load and switching off hardly change with age, so one scale serves every adult; measures that do change with age, such as the breathing range, are read within the person's age group.
Trait
Switching off afterwards
How far the heart rate comes back in the rest breaks after the load. Repeats on another day at ICC 0.70 [0.55; 0.81].
Today
Rest today
Whether the person actually switched to rest in today's breaks. Read as the state of the day.
Today
The cost of the day
How much of the session the heart-state scale rated as high load. Also read as the state of the day, shown next to rest today, never merged with it.
Around the answers
- Reserve age
- Not a health age: the age at which people in our data typically show heart responses like the person's, as a range next to the calendar age. The difference from calendar age repeats on another day at ICC 0.65 [0.54; 0.73].
- Breathing at the start
- How far the heart rate swings with paced breathing, against the person's age group.
- Pulse curve
- Heart rate beat by beat across the whole session, with the sections marked.
- Cognitive and motor scores
- Tapping, Stroop, Schulte and the Banana test against the database, with the person's own judgement of their results.
- Head channels
- Alpha rhythm with eyes closed, blinks and facial muscle activity, as observations of the day.
- Signal quality
- The share of corrected beats and a quality note when the recording needs one. We clean the beat series for the calculation and show how much was cleaned.
Session after session
Each new session is shown next to the person's previous one. A difference counts as a change only when it is larger than the smallest real change for that measure (MDC95, from people tested twice months apart), so the report does not turn ordinary spread between sessions into news.
That is where the split between traits and today's state pays off: a trait that moves is worth a conversation, a day answer that moves is the point of measuring the day.
Three sections
The person
What is usual for them and what was different today, in plain words, with a fold-out «why we think so» under each answer and a few things to try. The person sees this section only when the specialist releases it.
The specialist
The four answers with the observations behind them, notes on what to discuss, and the cognitive and motor scores. Prints to a PDF for the file.
The physiologist
Heart rate variability section by section, the ECG and beat-series details, signal-quality notes, and the raw task results. The raw recording is always one click away.
The person's and the specialist's sections are in English, Polish and Russian.
What the report does not do
It does not name conditions and does not score risk. It describes how one body met one standard load, how that compares with the database, and how it compares with the person's own last session.
Where it lives
The report is built on the PC that recorded the session, as a web page and a PDF. A web account lets clients open their own section from anywhere, if you choose to use it.
