From Individual Output to Pooled Data

Abstract. This technical note introduces an easy-to-use macro in Office Excel to batch the output from Kubios HRV 2.2, which is a software program for heart rate variability (HRV) data extraction. Due to a new release of the program, previous solutions have become outdated. The current macro simplifies and substantially reduces the time needed to post-process the output from Kubios HRV 2.2. With the use of this macro, advancements in knowledge on the role of HRV in mental and physical health can be accelerated.
