Camera-Based Measurement

HRV4Training can measure HRV using your phone's camera and flash against your fingertip. While less accurate than a chest strap, it's remarkably usable and removes the barrier of needing additional hardware.

Training Integration

The app tracks your training load and shows how HRV responds to your workouts. The acute/chronic workload ratio helps identify when you're building fitness vs. accumulating fatigue.
