Wellness for Android users

Wellness helps you understand how your body handles daily stress and overall health. In this article, you’ll learn what Wellness is, how it works on Android devices, and what you’ll find in your personal Wellness report. See how this tool can support your well-being and help you maintain balance every day.

Wellness is always right at the top of your home screen, so you can quickly check how your body’s doing. It’s not a medical diagnosis, but it gives you a general sense of how well your body is handling everyday stress.

A heart icon shows your current wellness status and also colors your home screen background. Green means your wellness score is high — your body is coping well, even if you’re not feeling 100%. If the heart turns yellow or red, your score is low, indicating your body might be under strain. In that case, it’s best to take it easy and avoid extra stress.

The score itself is calculated using heart rate variability (HRV) — a key indicator that doctors and researchers use to assess how your nervous system is coping. Generally, a higher HRV is positive, but keep in mind that “normal” varies from person to person.

To provide a clearer view, the score is divided into two parts: Today’s HRV reflects how your body is doing at the moment, while Average HRV offers a broader perspective by showing trends over time.

Today’s HRV shows how your body is doing right now compared to your typical state over the past 60 days. We use this comparison to help you understand how your current condition stacks up against your usual baseline.

If your Today’s HRV is at or above your normal range, it’s a good sign — your body’s systems are handling things well, maybe even better than usual.

But if your Today’s HRV drops below your personal baseline, it means your body might be under more strain than it’s used to. This can happen if you’re stressed, coming down with something, or simply not fully rested.

Average HRV shows how your typical heart rate variability over the past 60 days compares to the average for people your age and gender. This helps you see how your body’s overall resilience stacks up against others in your demographic.

Seeing how your numbers line up with population averages can give you helpful context, but remember — this isn’t a medical diagnosis. In general, higher HRV means your body is more adaptable and better at handling stress, but even a high score doesn’t automatically mean you’re in perfect health. For that, you’d need to consult a healthcare professional.

HRV statistics show how your well-being has changed over the days. It’s a great way to track trends in your overall state.

Health indicates how effectively your body remains balanced when faced with challenges such as stress, fatigue, or illness. It’s a good metric to watch when you’re sick, not to track symptoms themselves, but to understand how much effort your body is spending to keep you stable.

A high Health score means your body is coping well overall, even if you don’t feel your best. A low score suggests that the illness is putting real strain on your system, even if your symptoms don’t seem too intense.

This score is based on heart rate variability (HRV), which reflects how your nervous system is responding to what’s happening inside and around you. It doesn’t directly measure symptoms like fever or pain. For example, you might have a moderate fever (37–38 °C / 99.5–101 °F) and still feel okay, but your Health score could show that your body is working harder than it seems on the surface.

Focus reflects how ready your brain is to handle thinking, learning, and problem-solving right now. It shows your mental capacity for tasks that require concentration and analysis.

When your Focus score goes up, it’s a sign that you’re in a good place to tackle challenging work or projects that demand serious brainpower. You’ll likely be able to stay productive for longer stretches.

If your Focus and Energy are at an average level, it’s a good time for routine tasks that don’t require deep thinking. But when your Focus drops, it’s smarter to avoid mentally demanding work — otherwise, you might just put it off or struggle to finish.

A strong Focus usually occurs when your Stress and Energy are well-balanced. And while it’s great to catch moments of high Focus, it’s completely normal to feel scattered or mentally tired sometimes — that’s just how the brain works.

Energy indicates how well your body can handle daily demands, such as movement, digestion, and recovery. It reflects your ability to maintain balance (homeostasis) and stay physically active. High scores mean your body’s ready to go; lower ones suggest it might be time to slow down, especially toward the evening, which is perfectly normal.

The Energy trend helps you see whether your body is spending, restoring, or balancing its energy, so you can plan ahead and avoid sudden crashes.

Sometimes, you might feel low on energy, even if your score is high. That’s because Energy levels are linked to your parasympathetic nervous system, which helps your body recover. Give it a bit of time, and that Energy boost will likely kick in. If you’re sick but your Energy level is still high, that means your body is handling the illness well.

Stress reflects the amount of physical strain your body is experiencing and how it affects your overall state. It measures physical stress rather than emotional feelings, so even if you feel fine mentally, your body might still be under a significant load. For example, after a workout or an exciting activity like a roller coaster ride, your mood might be positive, but your Stress level can remain elevated due to the physical demands placed on your body.

Extremely high or very low Stress levels usually indicate that your body is out of balance. High Stress often means your system is overloaded and needs time to recover. On the other hand, very low Stress can signal that your body is too tired or overwhelmed to respond properly. Ideally, Stress should return to normal after sufficient rest. If your Stress remains high even after a full night’s sleep and without new challenges, it may be a sign to slow down and allow your body more time to recuperate.

While it might seem beneficial to have low Stress, very low scores, especially when marked with a blue color, indicate that your body is struggling to fully activate its systems. Some level of physical stress is necessary to maintain alertness and motivation. Both excessive and insufficient physical stress can negatively impact your health and well-being, so maintaining a balanced Stress level is key to keeping your body functioning properly.
