The Solarhealth App project aims to incorporate Heliobiology into daily life. It applies scientific findings to help improve health and prevent issues. The App will continuously monitor how your body reacts to changes in the Earth’s magnetic environment. Increased solar activity leads to electromagnetic disturbances in the atmosphere, known as “space-weather.” Research shows that these disturbances can influence medical aspects like blood pressure, heart rate, and brain waves. As a result, there can be notable physical and emotional changes.

Heart Rate Variability

We will use a method called Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to analyze heart rate. HRV has been used in medical research and health applications for many years. It offers more insight into a person’s physical and emotional condition than simple heart rate alone. HRV examines the time between heartbeats and how these intervals change over time. It can help assess overall health, the autonomic nervous system, breathing patterns, and more. Read more on HRV here.

The app will work with the heart-rate sensors on your smartwatch, like the Apple Watch and others. No extra equipment is needed. Later on, it also supports various third-party medical sensors, like fitness wristbands.

Space-Weather

The Solarhealth App will be regularly updated with live environmental data from space and earth observatories. It will compare this data with your HRV, medical information, and location. The AI algorithm will learn from your responses to the environmental data.

One of the key features of the App will be health hazard alerts. Studies show that people often respond late to space-weather events, sometimes by a few days. The App will analyze the current space-weather conditions and your health. It will provide you with a personal space-weather- and health risk prediction for the next few days. If bad conditions are expected, you will get alerts in advance. This will help you take precautions and make preventive lifestyle changes.

Using your Solarhealth App

To set up the app, you will simply fill in your basic information and optional medical details. The amount of data you provide is entirely up to you. Your personal information will be securely stored on your phone, unless you choose to participate in a Solarhealth study program. In Heliobiology, health effects can vary based on age, gender, or pre-existing conditions. Providing more information will give better results. It helps the AI algorithm better interpret your responses to geomagnetic changes and space weather. This is achieved by comparing your specifics to other studies.

Both environmental data and your HRV data will be presented as simple color-coded scores. Your ability to adapt to challenging conditions will also be shown on an index. You will track your progress in becoming more synchronized and balanced with the rhythms of Earth and space.

Science

By using the app, users will decide if their data can be shared for research. Sharing anonymized data will help improve the app and support future studies in heliobiology. This is a chance for everyone to help expand our knowledge!
