The application update is available from 3 May, to download it you need to have the Jarvis firmware updated to version 36, downloadable from this link.

First of all you need to have a MagneticDays heart rate monitor, or alternatively, a monitor that is able to read the RR interval: or the time between one heartbeat and the nextFor a correct reading of the data, you must perform 3 minutes at the beginning and end of the activity to check the basal level. 

Finally, You need to have 80% of the data reading active on the AppThis can be seen by looking at the color of the HRV icon during training. Red means the data is insufficient, yellow means moderately sufficient, and green means the data is correct.
