Utilize RHR in Female Health function

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Are there any thoughts to using the RHR already collected by Fitbit to dial in the cycle stages for each user? There was a paper published in 2017 (found here https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-01433-9#Tab1 ) that showed a cyclical nature to RHR during a woman's cycle. Lowest RHR during the period and climbing to a peak mid-luteal phase.

I notice this effect.  It generally correlates with my fertility monitor as does my weight.

Update: I continued to check in on my RHR, an elevated reading indicating pregnancy. Took a pregnancy test and look and behold! I'm pregnant. At the very least, with access to millions of users, the researchers in Fitbit aught to at least look at the information they are collecting and see if they can confirm the small study conclusion.
