TEST H:
HEART MAN - Heart and Autonomic Nervous System Monitoring

The HeartMan®

A 24 hour ECG is performed by the HeartMan®, which uses Heart Rate Variability as a diagnostic tool for the (short and long-term) impact of stress on the organism. The HeartMan has been developed and researched by Professor Max Moser a medical physiologist at the University of Graz, Austria.
Space-medical measurements of cosmonauts, invited by the Russian space medicine group for 9 missions (Austro-Mir project), were the starting point of the HeartMan project.
The HeartMan creates an Autochrone Image(ACI) that is the result of monitoring HRV and other rhythms throughout the day and night. This allows the objective evaluation of the degree of stress during daily activity, the quality of sleep via ECG measurements and the person’s fitness. This test objectively evaluates the efficacy of stress management techniques, therapies, preventative-medical applications and life style changes. The test results can also motivate people to change life style.
