Important: this app works with the Apple Watch (series 3 or higher) and integrates with the HealthKit app. To be able to calculate your personal mental energy use, you need to wear the Apple Watch and measure your heart rate in a continuous way. To be able to do so, we integrate with the HealthKit app and your heart rate data will be automatically stored in the Health app. However, we dont store any additional data in the Health app. Once the Mindstretch app is installed, it will ask you for permission to measure your heart rate and store this information to the HealthKit app. Please provide us with this permission to be able to use the Mindstretch app.

(*) Mindstretch measures the energy used for mental and physical activity. 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 watch that measures heart rate?

The Mindstretch app calculates your individual mental and physical levels based on different variables (a.o. heart rate) measured on the body.

How to use this Mindstretch app?
1. Put on the Apple watch
2. Select the Mindstretch app and press play (note that you should be logged in on the iPhone app before being able to start the measurement)

In the watch app, you will be able to see in real-time your mental state (orange = energy use and green = recovery)

In the iPhone app, you will be able to:
- See the mental and physical data in a graph
- Get a score about your day regarding mental energy
- See a split of your activities in relation to their intensity
- Have an overview of your mental state in a calendar view
- Receive personalised advice (first time after 7 days of measurements)
- Add/label events in the graphs to help you discover your main stressors. This way, we can also provide information about your most energy consuming and activities that resulted in most recovery.
