Every Stress Index feature

Everything you need to measure stress. In a single app.

Stress Index is the most complete professional HRV software on the European market. Here is what you can do with it.

Proprietary scores

5 numbers. Everything clear at a glance.

You do not need to be an HRV expert to use Stress Index. The 5 proprietary scores give you an instant snapshot of your client: how stressed they are, how they recover, whether the nervous system is in balance, how much energy they have and how well they adapt to load.

Stress Index

0-100

How much pressure the nervous system is under. Based on 5 weighted parameters: Baevsky Stress Index, SDNN, Total Power, DFA Alpha1, HF norm.

Recovery

0-100

The parasympathetic system’s capacity to regenerate. If it stays low over time, the client is not recovering between sessions.

Balance

0-100

The sympathetic-parasympathetic balance. Higher is not better here. The optimal value sits in the middle.

Energy

0-100

The nervous system’s overall energy resources. Based on the total power of the spectrum.

Adaptation

0-100

The autonomic nervous system’s capacity to recover and adapt to everyday demands. Unique on the market.

Scientific parameters

25+ HRV parameters. The whole literature, always with you.

For the professional who wants to go deeper, Stress Index computes every parameter validated by the scientific literature.

💡 Automatic reference ranges. Every parameter gets a color-coded traffic light based on reference ranges for the client’s age and sex (Nunan 2010, Voss 2015). No need to memorize reference values, the app does it for you.
Test types

A test for every need. From the standard protocol to the long session.

Four measurement modes designed to cover 100% of situations in the practice and in the field.

Standard Measurement

A snapshot of the current state. 5 or 10 minutes, seated or lying down. You will run 70% of your assessments with this one.

Orthostatic Test

Measures the reactivity of the nervous system. 5 minutes lying down, then 5 minutes standing. The app guides the transition with sound and vibration. Perfect for slow recoverers, persistent fatigue and overtrained athletes.

Coherence Breathing

Animated visual guide for breathing. Find your client’s personal resonance rate. Real-time coherence score. Ideal when you work on relaxation, sleep quality and tension management.

Long Sessions

New

Open-ended duration to measure during your sessions. Real-time tags, analysis every 2 minutes, automatic before/after comparison. Show your clients that the session works, with data.

Do you work with athletes? There is a dedicated module with real-time DFA Alpha1 and live metabolic zones. Discover the Sport Module →

PDF report

A professional PDF. Ready in the session.

A 4-page PDF you can print, email or show the client during the session. It includes every score, the detailed parameters, the HRV charts (Poincaré, rhythmogram, PSD spectrum) and the legal disclaimer. Customizable with your name, title and practice.

  • Custom header with your name, title and practice
  • 5 proprietary scores with a color bar chart
  • 25+ HRV parameters with reference ranges and traffic light
  • HRV charts: Poincaré, RR rhythmogram, PSD spectrum
  • Legal disclaimer and traceable generation
