About Cortisol+ Stress & HRV Monitor
Your Apple Watch already senses your stress. Cortisol+ turns its heart rate, HRV, and sleep into a real-time cortisol score - so you can catch stress building and calm it before it peaks. No lab tests, no finger pricks. Just your watch and a clearer picture of your body. WHAT'S INSIDE - Live cortisol & stress score, read from your Apple Watch biometrics through the day - Full sleep analysis - sleep stages, quality score, sleeping heart rate, and a new overnight chart of heart rate, HRV, breathing rate and oxygen - Pace of Aging & Bio Age - see how fast your body is really aging from your recovery data - Vitals trends - HRV, resting heart rate, blood oxygen and more, each with your personal "in-range" benchmark - Your Cortisol Range - what's normal for you, and what's driving today's number - Monthly recaps - a look back at your walks, workouts and movement, month by month - Zen, your AI coach - 2-minute breathwork and meditations for anxiety, focus, and deeper sleep - Daily Breakdown - a plain-English recap of what moved your cortisol, powered by private on-device AI ON YOUR WRIST - Meet Pebble, Ripple and Bloom - companions that live on your Apple Watch and change color and mood with your level. Prefer numbers? Switch to Score mode - Seven complications for any watch face - your score, your companion, HRV, resting heart rate, last night's sleep, sleep & recovery, and a one-tap breathing shortcut - Guided breathing on the watch - eight calm cycles with gentle haptics, no phone needed - Choose your companion and set up faces from the Watch Faces page on your iPhone - it stays in sync automatically ON YOUR HOME SCREEN - Six iPhone widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen - companion & score, daily balance, your signals, last night's sleep, a metric focus, and a breathing shortcut WHY CORTISOL+ Chronically high cortisol quietly drives anxiety, poor sleep, burnout, and faster aging - and most people never see it happen. Cortisol+ makes it visible: it reads the signals your Apple Watch already collects (heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep and activity) and turns them into one clear score you can act on. Check it in the morning to see how you recovered. Glance at your wrist or a widget through the day to spot what spikes you. Wind down at night with Zen. Small, consistent steps compound into calmer days and better sleep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data stays yours. Insights are generated on-device. Works with Apple Watch. Also connects to Fitbit and Oura. Start understanding your stress today. Cortisol+ is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or measure cortisol from blood. Estimates are for wellness and informational purposes only. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
