Average heart rate

[kittyared]

Hi,

I am using the Fitbit Charge 5 for an experiment to track stress levels by measuring EDA and HR. The Mindfulness feature gives me the difference score (after - before); however, is there a way I can view (or calculate for) average HR using these values? Or can I view this information elsewhere?

Thanks!

Hello @kittyared and welcome to the Community.  I'm moving your post to one of the developer forums.  You can't get any more data from the app than is already there.  I hope a developer can help you extract the data.

Hi @kittyared 

It is possible to download your heart rate in 1sec, 1min, 5min and 15min intervals, then calculate the average.  Here's the link to the Web API Get Heart Rate Intraday endpoint, https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/intraday/get-heartrate-intraday-by-date/.  If not interested in building an application to get this output, you can use our Web API Explorer to query your own data.   See https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/troubleshooting-guide/web-api-explorer/ for more information.

Let me know if you need more information.

Best,

Gordon

Would it be possible to do this with EDA?
