The thing about stress is that it can creep up on you. It’s easy to develop resilience debt. Tracking things like HRV, heart rate at sleep, respiratory rate and heart rate at rest help identify early warning signs of stress before they manifest into actual stress. Exercising regularly and eating right helps of course but most people don’t actually know what a good exercise should feel or what reaction a meal has in their body.

Personal anecdote, when I’m getting more stressed I start getting a heart spike at sleep. I’ve tried ignoring it and it turns into anxiousness and stress.

That'd be an awesome feature :)

We’re developing our own but currently using an Abbott sensor.

That’s a percentage increase as a byproduct of losing overall weight.

I used the system I built with my team for real time health data tracking that includes data from a continuous glucose sensor, Apple Health data (sleep, activity, heart rate, etc), urinalysis feature within Basis for the majority of this. The only data that wasn’t acquired via Basis was the blood panel.

Agreed. Working on it

For clarification, I take a daily electrolyte tablet with vit. C, magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium when I fast. Generally, you want to take in less than 40 calories to stay in a proper water fast and I don’t think Gatorade fits the bill. Unless you’re doing a Fast Mimicking Diet where you’re allowed to eat up to 700 calories (I think). My longest was 5-day water fast (a few times). I found that Day 5 is better than Day 4. What days do you think are the worst in a 2-week fast?

Basis as a system works with multiple passive, continuous inputs. The goal is to help you track your health without thinking about tracking your health - where many people fail. So to use Basis today (get the minimum benefit) you would need to use a glucose tracking biosensor (that we provide) and have an activity tracking wearable (e.g. Apple Watch, Oura ring, etc). It’s possible to use Basis with your own continuous glucose sensor (if you are diabetic let’s say) and already get those regularly. Depending on the peripherals/wearables you have you could also feed your water intake and temperature in the data as well.
