If I have been traditionally importing HRV from Oura app and now switched to using the phone camera immediately upon waking (with a new HRA trend that is now lower than what Oura showed), should I just let it all play out? The app, of course due to lower HRV scores, thinks I'm under stress but its just because of using the new method. What do you think?

hello Carl, that's right, just keep measuring and in a few weeks it will adjust automatically. As you already figured, simply ignore the advice in this transition phase, as it will not be meaningful.

Interesting papers coming out on emotional control and HRV in clinical risk groups - one showing ethnic differences. Fascinating stuff, but HRV seems to be having a moment.. I'll post them as I find them - mainly on researchgate. But I scan the research evrey morning and read papers on the weekend - got to if you want to stay current.

Also, have brilliant genomics buddy who keeps dumping his discoveries on me...

"The main results show that certain dimensions of the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) have a strong influence on users’ future app recommendations as well as the influence of users’ gender and age."
