Associations between sleep quality and heart rate variability: implications for a biological model of stress detection using wearable technology
The aim of this study was to investigate the links between short-term sleep quality and duration, and heart rate variability in 60 healthy individuals, in order to provide useful information about the effects of stress and sleep on heart rate variability (HRV) indices, which in turn could be integrated into biological models for wearable devices.

Stress watch: the use of heart rate and heart rate variability to detect stress: a pilot study using smart watch wearables
Stress is an inherent part of the normal human experience. Although, for the most part, this stress response is advantageous, chronic, heightened, or inappropriate stress responses can have deleterious effects on the human body. It has been suggested that individuals who experience repeated or prolonged stress exhibit blunted biological stress responses when compared to the...
