Your watch, ring, or iPhone collects the signals. Stress Platform helps you understand what they may mean for you. Connect Apple Health to turn HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, activity, workouts, and other vitals into clear explanations, personalized insights, and practical next steps. Ask questions in natural language, see charts built from your own data, and follow a 7-day plan shaped around your recovery. ONE STEP FOR TONIGHT Every evening, Stress Platform gives you one clear step based on your own nights, like a lights-out time worked out from your usual bedtime and wake-up time, with an optional reminder. The next morning, you see whether it worked. UNDERSTAND YOUR RECOVERY • See the highest-priority pattern in your health data • Compare today with your personal baseline—not generic averages • Review weekly changes, longer-term trends, and recovery status • Explore possible connections across sleep, HRV, activity, and habits ASK YOUR HEALTH DATA Ask questions such as: • “What may have lowered my recovery this week?” • “How did my sleep compare with last week?” • “What changed in my HRV?” Ask from any metric with one tap or by voice, and see interactive charts right in the conversation. STRESS PLATFORM IN CHATGPT Stress Platform also works inside ChatGPT. Connect it once with your Stress Platform account, then start a message with @Stress Platform to ask about your plan, sleep, and recovery without leaving the conversation.
