what you wannt doing, yo, s sending it just mixed signals to your body. Ri, you want to send the right signal to your body at the right time, bases
Speaker 1
on what it is that you need to do, right? So it's like why people would not recommend, like having a big meal immediately before a game. But immediately after a game, it's a totally great time to eat, because, like, you
Speaker 4
o o toever yo hav time
Speaker 2
her sympathetic dominancend digest the food. Whereas you don't want your body to be focused on digestion right before you go outn and run a race like that. You know, again, you're sending mixed signals, tor to your body at that pointrat solike, i would deftly sey that your gol's not to have like maximum tervet, like, every second of every day, because, like, you need to kind of toggle back and forth. Ey, these
Speaker 1
resources need to go to stuff. Ye, you have to do things tat's part of being ife. But if you start to understand like how different things affect your h ar v, you can start to manipulate the timing of these things relative to moments where you need to peke, right? Lik, you don't want to be super stressing about, like, your exam to morrow in the middle of a game. Day. Rigt rit work a game, right? But you know, you should think about your school work,
Speaker 2
ri, right? So, ditede fluctions are completely normal, yet i think we'de b remiss not to just mention, we've kind of chosen not to to display h r b throughout the day, cause there are other wearables that that kind of do. But i think, listen, emly's explanationn all the things that go into it, it is complicated and kind of noisy metric during the day, which was why we kind of don't display it. O really untangle it is a bit of a challenge, and and that's why, you know, we've chosen as a company to kind of measure h arvy. While we do constantly taking h ar v throughout the day, 24, we choose to measure during sleep. And that's when, you know, the moment where we can really essentially kind of mitigate the noise that's associated with all these impots
Speaker 1
that go into h ar v. Yet, that's such a good point, cause our users ask about that all the time, cause we do record our intervals, which give us h ar v throughout the day. And what we've kind of found is a, you know, if i'm working on any alger, the my aterveis going to be lower than if i'm sort of responding a social email. Looking at like, average h r v over the day becomes like, not that meaningful. And every time we've tried to go look at it, what you see is that it's just, like, it's very noisy. And without a lot of understanding aboutlike, what was going on at every moment, it's really hard to interpret. So unless we wanted our users, like, every ten minutes to be like, hay, like, how are you feeling right now? What are you doing? Like, you
Speaker 4
know, are you how you go to that ro getoan ont ou, just drink, lik
Speaker 1
oter, if i drink water right now, my arv's going to go out, am, cause i've been bad and haven't had that much to day. And like, that's not going to be a sign of like, fitness, right? Like, it
Speaker 2
could be paroness hair running or anything.
Speaker 1
Like, i i should probably have a glass of water before i work out. But like, if i do that now, versus in 20 minutes, like, i'll have 20 more minutes of, you know, hi h ar v. But like, that doesn't actually really mean anything if i'm not going to work til after work anyway, right? So what we wanted to avoid was like just creating more data for our users that like, doesn't, is not actionable. It doesn't add anything. We try to be very intentional with everything that we do. And so that every piece of information on our system, there's like a very obvious, you know, if you see this, do this. If you see that, do that. And not just like to try and be the wearable that gives you the most numbers. But then you have to have ph g to understand what to ignore and what's meaningful data for the sake of datas just now, yes, not usefulye. But one of the other things you mention that i think is also worth diving into is sort of our specific decision to take it during sleep. When we first started doing that, i we akto ave a patent for doing that. The sort of dominant protocol among people who were using h ar v was to take it first thing in the morning. And if you actually read the papers about doing this by people like daniel blus and martin bouchett out of new zealand, they all admit that they sort of do that for convenience, not actually because it's a good time to do it. Because as soon as you wake up in the morning, you start thinking about what you have to do for the day. And is
Speaker 2
very, very noisy matric.
