Abstract
Example embodiments assess cardiovascular health by receiving, from at least one monitoring device, pulse rate data from a subject. The pulse rate data includes pulse rate measurements and corresponding measurement timestamps. The embodiments select, with at least one processor, a plurality of recovery periods in the pulse rate data. Each recovery period corresponds to a respective decrease in pulse rate from a respective upper pulse rate to a respective lower pulse rate. The respective upper pulse rate is less than a peak pulse rate of the subject or the respective lower pulse rate is greater than a resting pulse rate of the subject. The embodiments determine, with the at least one processor, an exponential decay from the plurality of selected recovery periods. The exponential decay characterizes a pulse rate recovery for the subject. The embodiments provide, via a user interface, the pulse rate recovery based on the exponential decay.
