IIn our special series HRV Insight, Dr Alfred Lohninger, CEO and Medical Director of Autonom Health GesundheitsbildungsGmbH, explores and documents various HRV topics, including current research areas. This time, we’re examining the differences between smartwatches and electrode-based sensors. Through this analysis of HRV hardware, we aim to provide you with arguments for positioning our products. This will clearly demonstrate…

Have you completed your first 24-hour HRV measurement and are wondering what to do with your results? A 24-hour HRV measurement comprises approximately 100,000 numbers in sequence. Their informational value is unlocked through calculations, visualisations, and understanding of the recognisable patterns within. The intuitively perceptible fire-like display creates an emotional connection and fosters readiness for…

What is the Lifefire Image? Our autonomic nervous system (ANS), the vegetative system, coordinates, synchronises and directs all essential bodily functions. Analysing brainstem functions and ANS under everyday conditions with minimal measurement effort provides maximum diagnostic relevance. The clear graphical representation of measurement results sets new standards in terms of significance and comprehensibility. We utilised…

Throughout our lifetime, the heart beats nearly 3 billion times. Both controllable and uncontrollable internal and external factors affect our heart, influencing our heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV). Heart rate and heart rate variability – surely they measure the same thing, don’t they? The definitions themselves explain why these are actually distinct concepts….

The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in our autonomic nervous system. When it’s well-functioning, we feel balanced and healthy. However, when it’s weakened, our overall health is significantly affected. What exactly do the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems do? Our autonomic nervous system comprises two main components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system…

How Can Artefacts Be Distinguished from Rhythm Disturbances? “How to Identify Artefacts and Rhythm Disturbances?” We frequently receive emails and calls at our office enquiring about why certain measurements show such high error rates. Are these artefacts or cardiac arrhythmias? Therefore, we at Autonom Health would like to clarify the difference in this blog post….

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demonstrates an organism’s adaptability. It represents a significant and largely uninfluenceable measure of health.A variable heartbeat indicates good health, whilst a steady or rigid pulse should be considered a warning sign. Through 24-hour HRV measurements, we can detect these subtle differences between heartbeats and precisely assess an individual’s health and vitality…

Have you noticed how frequently the term “vagus nerve” appears in magazines and on websites lately? The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in our nervous system and significantly influences how well (or poorly) we handle life’s challenges. To ensure it functions optimally, you can train it. And remarkably, this can be done through some…
