Stress Vitals™ Live HRV Session

What to Expect
During a 40-minute visit you’ll sit comfortably while a Polar H10 chest strap streams beat-to-beat intervals to a ProComp 2 recorder. Our Kubios-powered engine converts those signals into a personalised “Stress Score.” When the score spikes, the app offers a short, values-anchored prompt to guide a calming micro-action—no biofeedback drills, just insight-driven reflection.

  • Why It Helps – HRV captures millisecond shifts in autonomic tone; pairing it with context-aware prompts lowers perceived financial stress and produces measurable vagal-tone gains in early internal tests (24 % median score drop, p < 0.05).

  • Where & When –

    • Scottsdale Office: Weekend afternoons by appointment (free).

    • St Vincent de Paul Community Dinners (Phoenix): One evening each month; two walk-up slots per visit.

  • Technology Stack – ProComp 2 clinical recorder | Polar H10 sensor | Kubios HRV Scientific analytics |  prompt engine. Raw ECG never leaves the device; only encrypted summaries inform model improvement.

Anyone experiencing financial stress. Sessions are educational and not a substitute for medical care..

Community

At BaCHRI, we believe lasting change starts with deep community engagement. We partner directly with Black communities, ensuring that their voices guide every step of our work, from identifying challenges to crafting solutions.

  • Collaborative Partnerships – Working hand-in-hand with community leaders to create programs that address local needs
  • Sustainable Impact – Building lasting initiatives that remain rooted in communities long after the research ends
  • Culturally Relevant Solutions – Developing strategies that respect and uplift the unique experiences of Black communities

Together, we are creating spaces where innovation meets cultural understanding, driving equity from within the community.

AI Builds, Not Black Boxes

Our decision-support engine runs in a Jupyter-based Python stack—scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Kubios HRV—so every notebook, weight, and parameter is reproducible. Gradient-boosted trees and random forests are paired with SHAP visualisations, letting clinicians see exactly how RR-interval dynamics, cognitive-flexibility scores, and social-ecological factors combine into a Stress-Heart Score. Differential-privacy layers, bias-parity monitors (≤ 5 pp across sex, age, insurance, food security), and quarterly audits led by Chicago State University ensure the model remains fair, transparent, and clinically trustworthy.

  • Transparent Methodss – Git-versioned notebooks and containerised pipelines keep every experiment reproducible

  • Interpretable Algorithms – Trees, ensembles, and SHAP plots surface feature logic for each prediction

  • Equity & Trust – Differential-privacy guards and community auditors uphold fairness at every deployment

Through innovative and ethical approaches, we’re committed to producing analyses that inspire trust and drive meaningful change.
