About Vitalab

Vitalab is your daily digital companion which helps you understand your health in an intuitive still accurate way. Vitalab also gives you means to reduce stress, better manage your emotions, and increase your focus and presence. Vitalab also connects to reliable health sensors. Below is a short list of the features.

---

Monitoring Your Nervous and Cardio-Respiratory States
===============================================
Vitalab is a holistic digital health companion that allows you to monitor and manage certain physiological parameters in real time, such as:

* Heart rate: the number of heartbeats per minute
* Heart rate variability: the variability of your heartbeats, reflecting the capacity of your nervous system to adapt
* Breathing rate: the number of breaths per minute
* Breathing rate variability: the variability of your breathing, related to your ability to focus and your emotional state
* Synchrony: the regularity of your heart-variability rhythm, which correlates with your heart-brain connection

A Tool to Balance Your Energies
===============================================
* Vitalab provides mindful-breathing biofeedback that helps balance your energy, whether your goal is calming or boosting.
* A Breathing Score is computed in real time to indicate your balancing capacity.

Holistic Metrics
===============================================
* Vitalab computes your Energy Balance score, which reflects the balance of your body and mind.
* Energy Balance is a number between –100% and 100%, depending on your level of relaxation or stress at the time of measurement. A good balance is typically around 0.

Eastern Energy Systems
===============================================
* Vitalab offers an alternative view of your health by computing Eastern-energy metrics correlated with the Indo-Tibetan three-energy model known as the Doshas and Humors.
* Prana or Qi is quantified through a measure of your nervous system activity and its ability to maintain a smooth flow.
* To help you better understand these three energies, Vitalab provides a self-assessment questionnaire to determine your baseline constitution.
* The Vitalab three-energy readings are estimates only. A precise assessment should always be performed by a qualified Eastern-medicine practitioner.

Algorithms
===============================================
The SATHeart team develops and tests Vitalab’s algorithms using medical-grade instruments.

Cautions
===============================================
* Vitalab is not a medical device, and the creators disclaim responsibility for any misuse of the app, sensors, or health metrics derived from them.
* Avoid movement during measurements. Slow movements may be acceptable when using the wearable arm sensor.
* Although the Doshas and Tibetan Humors share similarities, they are not identical.
* More details on how Vitalab computes its metrics, along with numerous scientific studies, can be found on our research portal (see Patrick Celka’s page on ResearchGate).
