Stress, HRV
and recovery

your body, read every day, from your wearable or by hand

Your body keeps a record of the day before the migraine: the HRV that dropped, the stress that stayed high, the recovery that never came. MigraineMe collects those numbers every morning and tests each one against your attacks.

StressA daily stress index from your wearable, or a number you enter yourself or mention in the evening check-in. Stress high and stress low are triggers in their own right.
HRV and resting heart rateHeart rate variability and resting heart rate every morning from a connected wearable or Health Connect, plotted against your attacks in Monitor → Physical.
Recovery and strainRecovery score and strain where your wearable provides them. Recovery high and recovery low fire as triggers when a day crosses your line.
Steps and heart rate zonesSteps high and steps low, and time in high heart rate zones. A hard session or a day on the sofa both count when they line up with your attacks.
Breathing, oxygen, skinRespiratory rate, SpO2 and skin temperature are collected when your device measures them, and shown next to everything else.

What is collected

HRV, resting heart rate, recovery score, strain, stress index, steps, time in high heart rate zones, respiratory rate, SpO2 and skin temperature, whichever your device measures. Each one is shown in Monitor under Physical with your attacks laid over it.

Stress without a wearable

Stress does not need a device. Enter a number for the day, or just mention it in the evening check-in and the app records it. Stress high and stress low are triggers in the catalogue like any other.

Which of it fires as a trigger

Steps high and low, stress high and low, recovery high and low, and high heart rate zones low are automatic triggers. Set the severity you believe in and let the correlation engine tell you whether the data agrees.

Questions

Which wearables work?

Garmin, Apple Watch, Polar, Oura and WHOOP, plus anything that writes to Health Connect on Android or Apple Health on iOS.

Do I need Premium for wearable data?

Connecting a wearable and choosing which data to collect is yours to do in Settings. The analysis layer on top of it is Premium.

Is HRV measured by the app itself?

No. HRV and resting heart rate come from your connected wearable or Health Connect. The app reads them, it does not measure them.
