Did health metrics algorithm heart rate variability, resting (heart rate variability, resting pulse)

Did the health metrics algorithms (heart rate variability, resting pulse) change when Google bought Fitbit?

My heart rate variability used to be very low ( Ranged from 19 to 28 ) for years. Starting earlier this year, I think coinciding with around when Fitbit got bought by Google, It got markedly better, almost always in 30 to 39 range and today was in the 40s. 
I have lost a little weight, but I I think the change would’ve come on more gradually. Similar situation with heart rate. Anybody else run into this?

Hello @Cheena 

Although I don't know if the algorithm has changed, you might find this post about Fitbit calculates HRV of interest (<-- click link)

BTW, your post mentions "Starting earlier this year, I think coinciding with around when Fitbit got bought by Google...". Just to let you know, Google acquired Fitbit in January 2021.
