At the heart of ReflexDAO’s model are wearable sensors designed to collect precise autonomic nervous system (ANS) metrics, such as heart rate variability (HRV) and interbeat intervals, in real-world conditions.
Autonomic nervous system (ANS) reflexes play a critical role in regulating involuntary functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and stress responses. Despite the importance of ANS functions, the field of autonomic reflex characterization remains un...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Via autonomic nervous system (ANS) coupling reflexes, the breathing disruption that occurs during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) episodes causes dramatic changes in RR interval (heart rhythms) known as cyclic variation of heart rate (CVHR). Apnea causes gradual HR drop while recovering hyperventialtion causes HR spike. These cyclic heart rate episodes or cyclic RRI can be detected and quantified.
Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Left untreated AF can lead to stroke and death. The earlier AF can be detected the better as early treatment reduces the risk of adverse events. The problem is that early or paroxysmal AF is mostly asymptomatic. The heart rhythms of high risk individuals can be monitored for AF using modern wearable devices.
Long Covid
The SARS-Cov2 virus can cause both acute and chronic infection affecting multiple organs and physiological systems. Long Covid often causes a disruption of normal autonomic nervous system function. Sympathetic overactivation and POTS are two ANS disturbances that can be assessed remotely through the analysis of heart rhythms.
