How is EDA used to calculate the Responsiveness portion of the Stress Management Score?

[AzrielK]

Hello,

I am using the Sense and am wondering how EDA is used to calculate the Responsiveness portion of the Stress Management Score. I had thought that EDA is only calculated when using the EDA Scan app, but according to the Learn More section within Stress Management (in the Fitbit app for iPhone) EDA is used in the Responsiveness calculation. Is it using EDA from recent EDA scans which are done manually using the scan app, or does the Sense measure EDA automatically on its own (maybe the way it measures SpO2 during sleep)?

... My reason for asking, is that I am wondering if I should do more EDA scans in order to get more accurate Stress Management Scores.

Thank you for your help!

@AzrielK, check out this help article, titled How do I track and manage stress with my Fitbit device? , to see if it provides any insight to your question.

Thank you for sending a link to that article! I think it implies the answer to my question (which is that the Sense only measures EDA when using the EDA Scan app, so I should probably do at least one scan per day for the most accurate Stress Management Score).
