Why Is My HRV Value Not Displayed on My Hexoskin Dashboard?
HRV (Heart Rate Variability) may not display if your recording was too active or if the ECG signal was weak. A proper resting test with good sensor contact is needed for accurate HRV data.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is normally calculated at rest. Research shows that HRV becomes difficult to interpret during activity — even small movements or talking can affect the reading.
There are two main reasons why your HRV value may not appear on your Hexoskin Dashboard:
-
Too much movement during recording
-
If the activity detected exceeds the threshold for HRV calculations, the algorithm won’t generate a value.
-
HRV is only meaningful when the body is still.
-
-
ECG signal was unreliable
-
If the signal from the cardiac sensors wasn’t strong enough, the HRV calculation can fail.
-
✅ How to improve HRV recordings
-
Perform a resting activity (found under Fitness Tests in the Hexoskin App).
-
Wet or apply conductive cream to the cardiac sensors before recording.
-
Stay still and avoid talking for the duration of the test.
Following these steps will help you get a reliable HRV value on your Hexoskin Dashboard.
