What Humotron reads from your Polar

Polar devices record heart rate during training and rest, training load and recovery status, and on recent models sleep stages, overnight heart-rate variability and breathing rate (Nightly Recharge).

Humotron reads the last six months of daily summaries once, when you connect. It does not read your raw stream, it does not read continuously, and it does not need your name or email to do it.

• How long you slept, and how wellTotal time asleep and the device’s own measure of sleep quality, night by night. Humotron looks at the pattern across weeks, not any single night.
• Resting heart rateYour heart rate at rest, compared with your own baseline rather than an average. A rise over several weeks, with no change in training, is one of the patterns Humotron watches for.
• Overnight heart-rate variabilityThe variation between heartbeats while you sleep. Devices measure it differently, so Humotron only ever compares your readings with your own earlier ones.
• ActivityHow much you move: steps, workouts or training load, depending on the device. This is what footwear and some habit matches are built on.

• Polar’s training load is read as activity. The recovery measurements are what unlock supplement and habit matches, so a watch worn at night gives a fuller picture.
• Older Polar models without sleep tracking still unlock footwear and activity-based habits.

Every match says which of your measurements should move if it works, and how long to wait, so you can check it on your own tracker. How matching works.

Where the data cannot answer, Humotron says so rather than guessing. Polar data does not cover:

• What you ate
• Body composition
• Blood markers
• Anything about your skin

• You can withdraw access at any time, from the device maker’s app or from Humotron, and ask for your data to be deleted.
• No brand you are matched to receives your health data. They see an order if you place one, and nothing about why.
• Humotron is a wellness service, not a medical one. It does not diagnose or treat anything.
