About this app

StressScan, an app for stress assessment with 3 million downloads, is being transformed into Habitone (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buri.user.android)!


Just place a finger over the camera for two minutes, and StressScan will analyze changes in your heart rate interval and scientifically measure the level of your mental and physical stress on a scale of 1 to 100.

- What is the principle behind StressScan? −
Many of the functions essential to maintaining human health are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. It is medically recognized that the balance of the autonomic nervous system can become disordered through fatigue and other stress, stemming from causes such as work and human relationships. By analyzing the waveform of your heartbeat as measured at the fingertip, StressScan can analyze the balance of your autonomic nervous system and measure your stress level on a stress index of 1 to 100.

- You can trust Stress Scan! -
The technology used by Stress Scan is based on heart rate variability analysis, which is widely recognized in the field of heart rate analysis and autonomic nervous system research.
Although heart rate variability analysis technology is not yet generally well known, many medical institutions and companies have taken an interest and are beginning to put it to use. The technology is seeing use even at the cutting edge of stress care, including adoption by the US military to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in soldiers returning from the battlefield, and by NASA for astronaut training and health management.

- Usable in a range of scenarios! -
· Periodic checking of daily stress level
· Checking the effects of favorite meals and drinks on stress
· Checking relaxation while traveling or at a favorite spot

- Device compatibility -
StressScan is intended for use with a camera- and flash-equipped smartphone. It is not usable with devices that do not have a camera and flash.

- Usage environment -
An Internet connection is required to use StressScan. External support for measurement functions is used for complex stress analysis.

Ratings and reviews

Ok so I like this app but there are definitely a few things that could be improved. It does work. Its accurate, easy to use, and does exactly what it says. HOWEVER what I don't like is it deletes tons of data. I had like 5 measurements today already and I look to do my last one and the rest are gone and when I wanted to look at the average it said I had only ever taken 1 measurement.

Cute design, works great - whether or not your finger gets hot is more about your phone design than the app (my old phone was very hot, my new phone doesn't even get warm). Would be a 5-star app if I could pay to remove ads, really hope they make a pro version or an in-app purchase at some point!

I've been using this app for several weeks and comparing the results with another similar app. The accuracy is good. It's also ready to use and intuitive. I would have given 5 stars except that the calendar is off by one day. The correct day off the month is shown. But the day off the week is off. If there were setting available to set the day off the week from Saturday to Sunday all would be great.
