hi there 👋
I hope everything is well and you’ve had a good start of the new year.
We’ve extended the integration between Coros and HRV4Training, which now allows you to choose between morning measurements using ECG and night PPG data.
The night data has resulted reliable in our tests, and is a viable alternative to other solutions on the market (Oura, Whoop, Garmin, etc.).
As my routine (both in the evening and the morning) has been quite uneventful recently, my data looks very similar even between morning measurements (phone camera, while sitting) and night data (Coros watch):

You can learn more about this integration, here.
Enjoy the update and special thanks to Darian @ Coros for his help with this.
Publications 📄
Our 60-page guidelines paper was accepted for publication in SLEEP: de Zambotti; Goldstein; Cook; Menghini; Altini; Cheng; Robillard. “Practical Guidelines for Using Wearable Technology in Sleep and Circadian Research: A Position Statement from the Sleep Research Society”.
The article is not available yet and I will talk more about it later, but it is in part covered in this blog where I discussed my talk for the Royal Sleep Society.
There is also this really good podcast with Cathy, Jesse, and Max, discussing the paper. I would highly recommend listening if you are interested in sleep tracking or are using a wearable for sleep tracking.
From last week ⏮️
