About this app

iFORA O2 App is a total solution help you analyze and improve sleep, stress, and mindbody related problems.
The App integrates with FORA Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter and Intelligent Cloud Analysis System to provide three main features: 1. Sleep SpO2 analysis, 2. HRV analysis, 3. Resonance Breath (HRV Biofeedback).

-----------------------
1. Sleep SpO2 analysis
-----------------------
1-1. records the whole night of SpO2 and heart rate readings with sampling rate of 1 sample per second.


1-2. provides analysis report with SpO2/heart rate trend chart and the following parameters related to sleep apnea:
(1) lowest SpO2, (2) highest SpO2, (3) average SpO2, (4) ODI3%, (5) ODI4%, (6) CT90%, (7) overall Sleep SpO2 classification ...etc.
The report (pdf format) could be sent to user registered email address
1-3. provide history Sleep SpO2 report for check

Sleep SpO2 analysis help test the severity of oxygen saturation deficiency. It could be used for not only risk screening but also for treatment improvement tracking (e.g. CPAP, breath exercise, pillow).

1-4. analysis and recommendation
personalized analysis and recommendation based on multi-night test results and questionnaire

1-5. sleep note
possible apnea improvement solutions in sleep note (e.g. CPAP, nasal breath, side sleep, pillow) - help user find suitable solution

-------------------------------------
2. HRV (Heart rate variability) analysis
-------------------------------------
2-1. provides heart rate variability analysis (Autonomic Nervous System Analysis) with 5 parameter:
- SDNN (overall Autonomic Nervous System index)
- LF (Sympathetic Nervous Combo index)
- HF (Parasympathetic Nervous index)
- LF/HF (Balance index)
- heart rate
2-2. provides classification of overall HRV score and individual suggested range for each parameter
2-3. provides knowledge of possible Causes, Risks and Notice for HRV scores outside suggested range
(e.g. sleep disorder, stress level, no inner balance...etc.)

---------------------------------------
3. Resonance Breath (HRV biofeedback)
---------------------------------------
3-1. provides visual Guidance for breathing exercise and biofeedback of user’s condition
3-2. supports 7 types of breathing exercise frequency: 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 BPM. User could scan and test the most suitable frequency for him to exercise
3-3. support 'Resonance' and 'Coherence' parameter to help user scan and test the most suitable breathing frequency for him
‘Coherence’: synchronization of user’s breathing with App guidance;
‘Resonance’: body resonance degree with exercise breath frequency

--
Sleep SpO2 and HRV Analysis help analyze the causes of sleep, stress and mindbody problems, and also help scan the risk for potential diseases. Resonance Breath help you reduce stress, achieve inner balance, and improve sleep quality and health.

Ratings and reviews

Mostly happy with it but I often have to uninstall and reinstall because the timer is off and slows dramatically. They need to fix this glitch. Updated: I have to uninstall and install nightly to get the timer to work. Contacted them three times and no response.

The bundle price of spo2 meter and app is a little pricy. I wouldn't buy it if it wasn't recommended by my doctor. After one week experience, I think wearing meter in sleep is a little uncomfortable; however, the analysis reports and sleep notes in the app are professional and help my family test and improve sleep apnea. Worthy!

I bought this oximeter app bundle for my dad. He complained uncomfortable first, but found some tricks to wear the meter during sleep. The App is easy to use and helpful for him to care his sleep apnea. One attractive feature for me is the app allow me to remote check his result on my phone.
