Ballistocardiography (BCG)
Unlike wearables that use optical sensors, Emfit detects the mechanical movements of your heart and breathing through the mattress. This ballistocardiography method is highly accurate for resting measurements and captures HRV throughout your entire sleep period.
Sleep Recovery Analysis
Emfit provides detailed recovery scores based on HRV, heart rate, breathing rate, and sleep quality. It tracks autonomic nervous system balance and shows how well you recovered overnight—ideal for optimizing training loads.
