Inspire@PolyU vs HRV Screening：早期檢測先導計劃

PolyU has launched a university-wide mentorship programme, namely the “INSPIRE” Mentorship Programme, with an aim of enhancing our students’ holistic education experience, intellectual growth, academic enhancement, and career development through a support network of role models and prominent leaders from the PolyU community. To further facilitate the interaction between mentors and mentees regardless of time, place, and pandemic constraint, a mobile application has been developed for mentors and mentees to interact and share insights in personal and career development.

CPCE HRV Screening is a professional heart rate variability (HRV) data collection app designed for academic research. It helps researchers collect physiological data from tertiary students in Hong Kong for studies on stress and depressive symptoms. Key features: Automatically reads heart rate variability data from Apple Health Secure upload of data to research servers Intuitive data visualisation charts Data handling that complies with academic research ethics requirements This study is organised by the School of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It aims to collect and analyse participants’ HRV data to explore patterns of stress and mood among students. Participation is voluntary and all information is kept strictly confidential. The research team may access HRV data from participants’ Apple Health or Google Fit accounts for research purposes, collecting only HRV-related information (e.g. heart rate, HRV values, and timestamps). Data will be retained for twelve months after the project ends and then permanently destroyed. Some data may be processed or stored by third-party service providers (including but not limited to cloud storage, secure backup, or analysis).
