Kubios HRV Scientific Software License 1-Year (Regular, commercial use)

Supports your measurement device
Kubios HRV Premium is compatible with several commonly used electrocardiogram (ECG) devices and with most of the HR monitors on the market. The only requirement for the HR monitor is that it can record inter-beat interval (IBI) data.
Operating system

Kubios HRV Premium is available for 64-bit operating systems: Windows (Win 10 or 11, 64-bit) and macOS (Catalina, Big Sur or Montrey).

Minimum system specifications: 4 GB RAM, 3-5 GB of disk space and screen resolution 1024 x 768 or higher

 
Usability

Easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI)
Adaptable to user needs due to adjustable analysis settings through software preferences

 
Supported data formats and devices

Inter-beat-interval (IBI) or RR interval data files: Garmin FIT files; Polar HRM and TXT files; Suunto SDF, STE, XML and FIT files; custom formatted text and CSV files
ECG/PPG data files: Biopac ACQ3 files; Cardiology XML files; European data format (EDF/EDF+) files; General data format (GDF) files; ISHNE Holter ECG data files; custom formatted text and CSV files
Supported ECG/PPG devices: Actiwave Cardio, AliveCor Kardia, Biopac, eMotion Faros, Empatica E4, Shimmer and several other clinical Holter and ECG monitors
Supported HR monitors: ActiHeart, emWave, Firstbeat Bodyguard, Garmin (Forerunner and Fenix series), Polar (V800), Suunto (Ambit and Spartan series), Zephyr BioHarness

 
Pre-processing features

Built-in QRS detector for accurate detection of ECG R-waves and pulse wave detector for PPG data
Automatic correction algorithm for correcting missed, extra and misaligned beats from RR interval time series. The algorithm was validated using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, showing 97.0% accuracy in detecting ectopic beats and 99.9% accuracy in identifying normal beats
Smoothness priors method for removing very low frequency trend components when performing short-term HRV analysis.

 
HRV analysis features

Stress level and indexes for parasympathetic (PNS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activities
Time-domain parameters: Mean RR and HR, min and max HR, SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50 (with adjustable threshold), HRV triangular index and TINN
Frequency-domain parameters: Welch’s/Lomb-Scargle periodogram and AR spectrum estimates. VLF, LF and HF peak frequencies and band powers (powers in absolute units and normalised units), and LF/HF ratio
Nonlinear parameters: Poincare plot (SD1, SD2, and SD2/ SD1), ApEn, SampEn, Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), Recurrence plot analysis (RPA), and Multiscale entropy (MSE)

 
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA) estimation

When ECG data is used, the software computes automatically the ECG derived respiration (EDR), which provides an accurate estimate of the respiratory rate. The respiratory rate needs to be taken into account when estimating RSA (ensuring that the respiratory rate is within the HF band)

 
Time-varying analysis features

Time trends in the HRV parameters to detect changes in HRV e.g. during a 24-hour recording or during exercise and recovery periods
Analysis window can be adjusted for investigating long-term or short-term dynamics
Spectrogram with “Fire” colormap, a graphical illustration of dynamic changes in HRV components, at a glance, one can appreciate how stress affects the cardiovascular system and how therapeutic actions can hasten recovery

 
Reports and exporting results 

ECG printout option for printing the ECG signal (single lead) on a standard paper ECG layout
PDF reports with detailed HRV analysis results and graphics
Text file export for saving all the analysis results into a structured text file
Matlab MAT file export for saving the analysis session and the results. Previously performed analysis session can be reopened by opening the MAT file, which enables an easy and quick way to change analysis settings and reanalyse the data
"SPSS friendly” batch file export to save analysis results into a CSV file, which can be opened in Excel or imported into SPSS

New features (not available in Kubios HRV Premium):

– Supports Kubios HRV mobile app measurements. Use the custom measurement mode of the Kubios HRV mobile app and sync your recordings to your PC using the Kubios Cloud sync
– Support for extra data channels (view additional channels on data axes)
– ECG waveform analysis (QRS duration, QT and QTc times, and P, Q, R, S and T amplitudes)
– Training data analytics with detailed performance metrics (HR, RESP, TRIMP, ventilatory thresholds and VO2) and heart rate recovery
– Species selection (rat, mouse & pig) available for pre-clinical researchers.
