AtnHealth - New possibilities for assessing the state of the autonomic nervous system

What is AtnHealth?

AtnHealth is a high—tech system for assessing the functional state of the body on-line based on heart rate variability (HRV) using an ECG signal. HRV reflects the control system of the cardiovascular system, taking into account the contribution to maintaining self—regulation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system, as well as humoral regulation.
The AtnHealth application is designed to assess the biological adaptation of a person to various environmental conditions and lifestyle, assess the reactivity and resistance of the body under various extreme influences, helps to individually control the processes that ensure mental and physical performance, resistance to injury and disease.

What does AtnHealth do?

Our method allows us to assess the state of the mechanisms of neurohumoral regulation of cardiac activity, the potential for using additional resources of the human body, to warn it of the possible development of cardiac pathologies associated with a breakdown in adaptation, and the risk of possible sudden cardiac arrest. This is achieved by using new indicators of the degree of self- organization of cardiac regulation and indicators of the contribution of the links of the neurohumoral system of the human body to the process of self-organization of vegetative regulation.

Who needs it?

For people employed in professions with increased responsibility in conditions of long—term work of a human operator under the influence of a complex of negative factors (psychoemotional stress, physical inactivity, fatigue of the visual or auditory analyzers), AtnHealth Mobile will help maintain concentration and the ability to act.

For the practical work of a sports doctor, coach and the athlete himself, AtnHealth Mobile will help to identify changes in the functional state and physical fitness.

For busy people, or simply those who are always in a hurry, AtnHealth Mobile can serve as an indicator of the body's adaptation to physical and mental stress, help to learn the physiological resources of your body and gain an advantage in maintaining a balance of health and achieving active longevity.

AtnHealth Mobile App

To obtain information on the assessment of the state of the mechanisms of neurohumoral regulation of cardiac activity, an examination of the body is carried out using the AtnHealth mobile application. The result of the measurement is an indicator of the level of adaptation of the human body to external and internal factors affecting it, obtained using new scientific approaches and new methods of special mathematical processing of the rhythmogram transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone from a chest heart rate monitoring sensor. The state of the body is assessed on a 100-point scale using the author's algorithms for processing information.oint scale using the author's algorithms for processing information. The magnitude of the adaptation level is determined by a comparative analysis of the regulatory physiological functions of the body (parasympathetic, sympathetic and humoral regulation), which represent a single complex of neurohumoral regulation and play an important role in maintaining the relative constancy of the composition and properties of the internal environment of the body (homeostasis) and its adaptation to changing living conditions. The mobile application allows you to quickly, in a simple and understandable form, obtain information about the reserves of the regulatory systems of the body.

AtnHealth Web App

Designed for a more thorough analysis of the results obtained as files in .rti format from the AtnHealth Mobile application.
AtnHealth supports loading information from regular text files, in which R-R intervals in text form (intervals between the peaks of the ECG rhythmogram) are located line by line - one interval per line.

How it works

Install the AtnHealth mobile application on your smartphone. After registering and creating an account, each AtnHealth user will have their own space in our cloud, isolated from others, where they can upload their files for analysis (rhythmograms).

Please read the instructions in the mobile app.

To work with the mobile application, you need a chest heart rate monitor (purchased separately). The device must be connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth, the smartphone must have Internet access. Analysis recording begins after the 50th heartbeat and pressing the "Start" button. The recording duration for a correct result is 3-5 minutes (preferably at least 5). The maximum recording time is not limited (the application can work in the background). During recording, the necessary and understandable information will be displayed on the smartphone screen.

After processing, you can see the analysis result immediately on your smartphone screen. Through the AtnHealth web interface, you can examine the file directly in your browser. No additional software installation on your computer is required.

What is the technology based on?

The proposed method is based on fundamental ideas about the thermodynamic
concept of information by Claude Shannon, the theory of dissipative structures
by llya Prigogine and the properties of the entropy of the Dirichlet distribution.
