Important: this app works with Fitbit trackers which have a heart rate sensor. To be able to calculate your personal mental energy use and recovery, you need to wear the Fitbit tracker which measures your heart rate in a continuous way. The Mindstretch app only uses the heart rate data collected by Fitbit. No additional data is stored in the Mindstretch app.


(*) Mindstretch measures the energy used for mental tasks. Note that the mental load experienced by your body (= physiological stress) is not necessarily identical to the perceived one. As every individual reacts to mental load in a different way, the measures will vary for each person.


Why do you need a Fitbit tracker that measures heart rate?


The Mindstretch app calculates your individual mental energy use and recovery levels based on different variables (i.e. heart rate) measured on the body.
