Unlock the full potential of your HRV research with Kubios HRV software – leading the way in heart rate variability analysis and trusted by researchers worldwide.
HRV for Scientific Research
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the most widely used tool for assessing autonomic nervous system (ANS) function. As a non-invasive marker of ANS activity, HRV is applied across diverse research fields, including cardiovascular health, heart diseases, occupational health, psychology, physiology, sleep, and sport sciences. Its ability to reflect the body’s responses to both internal and external stimuli makes it essential for understanding physiological processes in clinical and wellness research, offering key insights into stress, recovery, and overall well-being.
Gold-Standard HRV Analysis Software
Kubios HRV software is recognized as the gold standard in heart rate variability analysis, trusted by researchers and professionals worldwide. It is currently used at over 1,800 universities across 149 countries. With a solid foundation of scientific validation, Kubios HRV offers advanced tools for assessing HRV in clinical, wellness, and sports research. Its accuracy and comprehensive features have made it the preferred choice in over 5,900 scientific publications, delivering reliable insights into autonomic nervous system function and physiological responses.

Additionally, the software includes ANS function and physiological performance analysis. HRV results can be exported in multiple formats for seamless post-processing in Excel, SPSS, or Matlab.
Effortless HRV Recordings with the Kubios HRV App
Researchers and professionals can use the Kubios HRV mobile app to effortlessly conduct various HRV recordings. The app offers versatile modes, enabling you to track daily readiness of participants or perform custom HRV measurements. The custom measurement mode is ideal for both lab-based and field research, supporting subject management and event markers. Paired with Bluetooth HR sensors, the app allows for easy collection of high-quality HRV data. Learn more about its features on the Kubios HRV App page.
Supports Your Measurement Device for HRV Analysis
Our device-independent software enables researchers to use their existing measurement devices for HRV analysis or to process previously collected datasets. Kubios HRV software supports most HR monitors, several commonly used ECG devices, and some PPG devices. For HRV analysis, you need beat-to-beat RR or IBI data, or raw ECG or PPG data. For optimal accuracy, we recommend high-quality sensors like the Polar H10 or an ECG device. Details on compatible devices and data formats are available on the Supported Devices page.
