PPG Stress Flow

The PPG Stress Flow wellness device utilizes advanced multi-channel plethysmograph technology applied to the distal ends of the limbs. It is designed to assess the autonomic nervous system's activity, heart rate variability (HRV), peripheral blood flow, and capillary permeability. This quick and non-invasive examination provides insights into the functions of the autonomic nervous system, facilitating wellness-focused biofeedback exercises.

The PPG Stress Flow device offers valuable insights in a variety of wellness and performance enhancement contexts:

• Stress and Adaptation Monitoring: Helps in assessing general adaptation to stress.

• Wellness Tracking: Monitors parameters related to overall well-being and physiological balance.

• Emotional and Psychological Well-being: Analyzes indicators linked to emotional states.

• Sports Performance: Aids in optimizing physical performance and recovery.

• Longevity and Wellness Optimization: Supports efforts to enhance psychophysical performance and wellness.

The device analyzes the following aspects:

• Mean HR: Average heart rate.

• SDNN: HRV synthetic index.

• VLF Power: Indicator of slower sympathetic nervous system processes.

• LF Power: Sympathetic activity indicator.

• HF Power: Parasympathetic activity indicator.

• Scatter – Heart Rate: Representation of heart rate variability.

• Bilateral Flow: Multi-channel bloodstream representation.

• ANS Balance: Representation of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activation.

• Peripheral Blood Flow and Capillary Permeability: Evaluates the flow of blood in peripheral vessels and the permeability of capillaries.

Report Features: The PPG Stress Flow generates comprehensive reports detailing the autonomic nervous system’s status, HRV metrics, and peripheral blood flow parameters.

Advanced Wellness Applications: The device is compatible with the BioTekna Plus integrated platform, enhancing its capability to analyze the autonomic nervous system, peripheral blood flow, and support wellness-oriented biofeedback processes.

Each PPG Stress Flow device includes:

• USB Cable

• PPG Stress Flow Sensors

• Instruction Manual

• Functional Testing Device

For further details, periodic updates and training courses are recommended.

• Mean HR (Heart Rate): Average heartbeats per minute.

• SDNN: Standard deviation of beat-to-beat intervals over 5 minutes, indicating overall health.

• RMSSD: Reflects the vagal component (PSN) of HRV.

• Total Power: Total autonomic nervous system power.

• VLF Power: Links negative emotions to the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

• LF Power: Indicates sympathetic nervous system dominance.

• HF Power: Indicates parasympathetic nervous system dominance.

• LF/HF Log: Logarithmic relationship between sympathetic and parasympathetic powers.

• LF/HF Ratio: Ratio of sympathetic to parasympathetic power.

• SNS LF%: Percentage dominance of the sympathetic nervous system.

• PNS HF%: Percentage dominance of the parasympathetic nervous system.

• Panel Power Spectral Density: Graphic distribution of ANS frequencies.

• Panel Bilateral Flow: Measures plethysmographic flow amplitude for both hands.

• BFG (Bilateral Flow Gain): Signal amplitude adjustment, color-coded for laterality.
