Science of Heart Rate Variability During Sleep
HRV, and to be more exact, so called
RMSSD value, can be used to monitor
both their daily training load, and nocturnal recovery. Heavy training lowers
the RMSSD value, and recovery raises
it. If the evening value is low, you know
that training day was effective. If the
morning value is high, you are fully recovered and ready for another heavy
exercise. In this sense, our RMSSD
graph can be used to optimize both
the training schedule and load.

“Working with Olympic athletes, we use
‘Data not Drugs’ to boost every aspect of
athlete health and performance. Since
sleep is foundational to health and performance, it is a focal point of our program and
we have used every sensor on the market.
Emfit is creating new capabilities in understanding sleep both with the goal of improving it, but also using it to better inform
training decisions as we moved towards
truly individualized training. The ease of use
and accuracy of Emfit is also unprecedented. As a result, Emfit is now an integral part
of our ‘Data not Drugs’ program as we build
a future that uses more data and less drugs,
in sport, and hopefully in health.”

Other Data and Important Features
Sleep Tracker with
All Three Sleep Classes
Emfit QS sleep tracker can tell you how
much light, deep, and REM sleep you get
each night. Sleep is the time when your
body gets ready for the day ahead, and
when we talk about sleep quality, it’s
REM and deep sleep that get all the attention.
ment data as an indicator of how hard
his athletes’ workouts are; the more
restless the sleep, the harder the pre­
vious workout has been for the athlete’s
body and the lighter the next workout
should be.
Heart and Respiration Rates
Deep sleep is the time when your body
recovers. When the cells repair themselves and your body gets ready for all
the physical challenges of a new day.
Emfit QS measures your heart rate and
respiration rate and uses this data along
with movement activity data to calculate the sleep classes.
REM sleep is when your mind recovers,
making sure that all the important things
you learned, saw, and experienced during the day are stored in a safe place.
It also measures resting heart rate, which
tells about general health. For example,
a couple days before getting actual flue
symptoms, your resting heart rate will
rise, letting you know you might want to
prepare for some not-so-dashing days
ahead. Resting heart rate can also be
used for example as a mild indicator of
stress or overtraining.
What about light sleep? Well, that’s
just a lighter stage of sleep that doesn’t
do much for you – it’s just there.
Long term trends
Long term trends help you recognize and
notice sleep affecting lifestyle patterns,
making it easier for you to alter your lifestyle into a healthier direction.
Movement Activity
Emfit QS sleep tracker can tell how restless your sleep is. One of our users, Sky

Autonomic Nervous
System Balance
Knowing the balance of the autonomic
nervous system is important, because
it controls and regulates all the
functions necessary to
maintain life. Fight or flight?
Rest or digest? This is known as
the balance between sympathetic and
parasympathetic nervous system, and
the balance can be affected by stress,
for example.
Wi-Fi or Cellular/Mobile Data
(no phone needed)
Super Sensitive
Under Mattress Sensor
Emfit QS has embedded Wi-Fi or cellular
mobile data connectivity. The transceiver
component is connected by a long, durable cable and is placed far from your
bed to avoid disturbing your sleep. Emfit
QS electronics include its own pro­cessor
and memory for totally autono­mous operation - no need to worry about charging your phone battery during the night.
When you go to sleep Emfit QS automatically starts measur­ing and will be available for deep insight after you leave the
bed in the morning
Just as a cool bonus and thanks to our
own proprietary sensor technology, Em­
fit QS is placed discreetly under the mattress so you won’t even notice it’s there.
The sensor is comprised of self-biased
electro-active material and does not
generate any capacitive field that might
disturb your sleep. Under-mattress placement also ensures Emfit QS will last for
years to come without having to regularly
replace it.

Emfit QS user interface is visually compelling, the information is provided with
simple graphics and vivid colors.
Science behind Emfit QS
Emfit QS relies on ballistocardiography, which is a technique for producing a graphical
representation of repetitive motions of the human body arising from the sudden ejection
of blood into the great vessels with each heart beat.* Similarly breathing and all other
body motions are sensed and interpreted into data.

INTENTED USE:
Emfit QS (physical product with web and phone application) is a general wellness product for healthy adults at home and in institutional care environments. Information obtained is intended for use (I) in evaluating a healthy individual waking hours activities impact on his or her recovery and sleep quality, (II) in monitoring a
healthy individual who, when not in bed, is in the risk of (a) falling, (b) interfering others, or (c) wandering. In the above mentioned purposes it is not a medical device
and is not intended for the diagnosis or monitoring of any disease or to investigate a physiological process.
