For Research

Market leader software for researchers using heart rate variability (HRV) in their studies. Kubios HRV software is a device independent software, supporting several commonly used HR monitors, ECG devices and PPG monitors. Kubios HRV provides accurate and detailed HRV analysis for short- and long-term measurements and for all kinds of study protocols. Kubios HRV software has achieved gold-standard status in scientific research, used at roughly 1800 universities in 149 countries.

For Wellbeing

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of cardiac autonomic nervous system function and has been associated with multiple cardiovascular diseases and risk factors. In addition, HRV is a commonly used tool in assessing stress and recovery. Kubios HRV software products provide easy-to-use measurement applications and detailed HRV analysis tools for health and wellbeing professionals who want to use HRV assessment as part of their services.

Kubios HRV Scientific

Full featured heart rate variability (HRV) analysis software for scientific research and professional use. Supports Kubios HRV mobile app measurements and several third-party HR monitors, ECG and PPG devices. Featuring accurate pre-processing of HRV data, over 40 HRV analysis parameters, HRV time trends, training data analytics, ECG waveform analysis, and detailed reporting. (Windows & MacOS).

Kubios HRV App

Heart rate variability (HRV) mobile app having two modes of operation: 1) Daily readiness measurement mode for athletes or individuals who want to monitor changes in physiological recovery and stress and 2) Custom measurement mode for researchers, health and wellbeing professionals, and sport scientists for performing RR/IBI, ECG or PPG measurements.
