4. FAQs
Q. How is Vital Scout more accurate than wrist worn devices?
A. Vital Scout uses medical-grade ECG sensors and is worn directly on the chest to provide more accurate
readings in comparison to wrist-worn devices, which commonly use optical photoplethysmography (PPG)
sensors.
Q. How is stress and recovery derived?
A. It is based on heart rate variability (HRV) which is the time variation between heart beats. Studies have
shown a strong correlation between HRV and physiological intensity as it relates to stress and recovery. In
general, a higher HRV results in increased recovery levels, whereas a lower HRV increases stress.
Q. How often does the adhesive need to be replaced?
A. In general, the adhesive does not need to be replaced until you need to recharge the patch, or if it has
been damaged by water or other factors.
Q. Can I shower with the Vital Scout patch on?
A. The Vital Scout Patch is water resistant but we do not recommend submerging the device in water, such
as swimming with it, as it may distort accuracy or damage the patch.
