Garmin Download Heart Rate Data PATCHED

Yes please Garmin. Make this easier for those of us who think a python is a snake. A button in the Garmin connect App to export heart rate, or other useful, data (in a common,easily accessible, format), with an option then to choose the range of dates/time period, or all data, would be wonderful. Giving another new dimension to your fitness watches! My Fenix 6X is wonderful btw.

The whole reason I got a garmin was so I could download and save my Heart Rate information. I never imagined this MOST USEFUL possible thing to do with this data instead of constant crappy reminders of some stupid "steps" goal or pathetic "activity" goal that I never wanted or asked for.. Certainly Garmin is keeping every single second of our HR info to sell around the world, but when we want to see our own data Oh No that's impossible you have to STD the fit file blah blah.

Garmin Download Heart Rate Data

Heart rate data suddenly stopped being transferred to the Garmin Connect app on November 1st after a run. It hasn't transferred ANY heart rate data since that time. The app can see a live heart rate though. The data IS being transferred to Garmin via wifi and is on the device itself. Suggestions?

I am trying to understand heart rate readings in fit-files and had a look in a recent swim activity using Garmin Fenix 6S + HRM Pro plus

When I open the fit-file I find under the heading Record timestamps with corresponding heart_rate (bpm). The bpm is quite high.

However, in Intervals.icu under Interval Data, I can download a streams.csv, where I find the variables time,cadence,heartrate,distance,velocity_smooth. Here, heart rate values are considerably lower than in the fit-file mentioned above. It appears that Intervals.icu use these heart rate values for charts and other downstream outcomes.

Are these heart rates from the two differents sources Fenix vs HRM pro plus, and if so, which one is which?

The time-stamps + heart rate are identical in streams.csv and downloaded fit-file, whereas in the original fit-file (at identical timestamps) the heart rate are considerable higher .

So, what on earth does the heart_rate (bpm) in the original fit-file represent? And what is it used for?

I now take my Garmin heart rate monitor (it's a Garmin HRM Dual). I can connect just fine via Bluetooth to it, I can find the correct handle for HRM interaction (the handle that corresponds to UUID 0x2902), but when I use gatttool to send a char-write-req to the handle just like previously, it says the value was written, but nothing ever happens. I've tried a number of values but nothing ever happens.

Hi, thanks a lot for this simple and great app! It works perfectly on my FR235, and I use it to compare the built-in heart rate sensor with the external strap. Would it also be useful to make it compatible with the Vivoactive 4S? Many watches are supported, but unfortunately this one is not in the list. I would like to also compare the built-in heart rate sensor of that watch with my external strap. Thanks in advance!

The health app is set to accept health data from Garmin Connect and heart rate is on, but the data collected is only basic activity type, time and distance. No heart rate or other data is collected therefore health app mis-calculates VO2max and other health measures. Apple Watch seems to stop taking heart rate readings during my activity (using a heart rate monitor connected to my Garmin 1030 which is not collected by health app)

Heart rate and heart rate variability are related to mental and physical health. As a means to collect HR/HRV data, wearable smart bands are extremely convenient and thus becoming increasingly popular for measuring stress, exercise intensity, arrhythmia detection, and so on. Watches derive heart rate by measuring the changes in vascular blood flow during the cardiac cycle using a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor. However, recent studies have suggested that the accuracy of HR as measured by a PPG-based sensor can be susceptible to various confounding factors such as physical movement and upper arm muscle contractions. To investigate this further, we started a series of experiments to validate the accuracy of heart rate data measured by the smart band.

We tested the accuracy of heart rate (HR) data obtained from the wrist band Garmin Vivosmart 4 by comparing the data with the Polar HR strap (H10, Polar Electro Oy). The Polar H10 is a handy chest-strap device that is widely considered the most accurate method for obtaining heart rate since it uses electrocardiographic (EKG) signals and not PPG-based signals. In other words, HR is determined by directly measuring the electrical activations of the heart and not indirectly through blood flow changes in the wrist.

To test the differences in the HR data from Vivosmart 4 and Polar H10 during different daily activities, we extracted three separate, but continuous 10-minute segments during each activity type from each participant.

Figure 2a-d show the Bland-Altman plots for HR data shown in Figure 1a-d, separately. The y-axis is the difference in HR obtained simultaneously by the two devices; the x-axis is the HR average of the measures obtained from Vivosmart 4 and Polar H10. In each subplot, the solid line represents the mean of HR differences, and the two dashed lines depict the mean two standard deviations, separately. Assuming a normal distribution, 95% of data would fall within this range demarcated by the two dashed lines. In other words, if your Garmin watch shows a HR of 81 while talking (Figure 2c), you would be ~95% confident that the true HR (as determined by Polar H10) is within the HR range of 71 to 91 bpm since the 2xSD was approximately 10 bpm.

As a general rule, based on this data, we would be comfortable using a Garmin wristband for measuring heart rate through the course of the day, although the PPG does tend to give noisier HR during more physically-active motions.

Garmin also unveiled the iteration of its smartphone-connected activity tracking device. The new offering, called vivosmart HR, offers heart rate tracking on top of existing features. The tracker was first announced last year in November. The new device, which will also launch commercially next month, is expected to retail at $149.99.

The main claim of this pedometer is that it can be worn on the wrist and can track steps as accurately as traditional pedometers worn on the hip (figure 1). The another main claim of this device is that it uses three accelerometers to track step data to account for sway and extraneous movements of the arm during daily life. The device also has the capacity to store data, which can be exported to other devices, such as a computer via USB or Bluetooth. In addition, the device has a screen to display step count or distance traveled.

Traditional pedometers were worn on the belt and steps were detected based on the motion of the hips. Movement at the wrist is more complex and can result in more false steps than pedometers worn on the hip. The algorithm used to determine what is registered as a step was altered to account for this more complex motion. To do this, a three axis accelerometer was used to make motion detectable regardless of how the arm was oriented. Data from each axis is filtered and combined by summing the absolute value of each sample. The result is one graph that represents all of the acceleration data in order to get a more accurate depiction of when steps were taken (figure 2).

Using this plot, an adaptive peak detector is utilized in the hardware to quantify the acceleration of each movement. This detector identifies inflection points in the acceleration data collected to identify positive and negative slopes in the accelerations. If the slope regions reach or surpass a threshold value and last for a specified time threshold, then the device registers this as a step. The time restraint helps separate noise from actual step data. The detector then repeats this to track steps over time. Step frequency and the height of the user are determined in order to estimate stride length so that distance covered can also be output to the user. A study conducted showed that this device on the wrist is just as accurate as an older pedometer that was worn on the hip.

Though the mechanisms used to count steps seem rather complex, this device could be used by anyone looking to track their daily steps. This device does not require any difficult training to use so learning how to use the device should not be a limiting factor for this device. Pedometers are used by people of all athletic abilities. If someone wants to begin exercising, this device could be used to track the number of steps accumulated during the day or during a particular workout. An avid runner could use this device to track the distance covered during a run based on stride length and step count. Therefore, this device can be widely used and may be of benefit to anyone trying to increase their physical fitness. Current wrist pedometers have exceeded the functions of this device, incorporating heart rate monitors, swim tracking, GPS tracking, and other technologies. The patent described some of these functions as potential future adaptations/embodiment of this device.

Using a GPS watch has become the norm in distance running. These watches provide users with information regarding distance traveled, pace, and even maps of the route taken. Newer watches also include heart rate monitors, providing users with greater information about their fitness. The popular watch brand, Garmin, has a patented heart rate monitor [1] used in their watches, seen in Figure 1 below.

To isolate the cardiac component of the PPG signal, time-variant filters are used to remove non-cardiac components. The PPG signal can initially be filtered with a bandpass filter that only passes signals within the range of possible cardiac component frequencies. This bandwidth can be adjusted by the processor to account for lesser or greater expected cardiac frequencies based on changes in the environment. For example, if the user begins running, the processor senses rapid motion change and the bandwidth will increase since heart rate is expected to rise. 17dc91bb1f
