USER GUIDE

The Nuanic App provides insights, trends, analysis of your EDA data. It allows you to track your physiological responses over time and customize settings to your preference. The journal feature allows annotations to add more context to the data.

Read more about the journal feature below.

DATA ANALYSIS

The Nuanic Ring consistently captures and stores measurement data regardless of whether the Nuanic App is open or not. The constant proximity of the phone isn’t necessary for the DNE index to be stored.

If you have signed into the Nuanic Cloud, the Nuanic App will automatically synchronize the data between from the app to the cloud.

DNE

1-100

As the values derived from raw EDA signals are nearly impossible to interpret without complex computations, Nuanic has developed an easy to interpret index - the DNE. With this index everyone can explore their data in a meaningful way.

The real-time DNE states your stress level in a given moment on a scale from 1 to 100. A higher reading indicates a higher level of your sympathetic nervous system’s (SNS) activation. The SNS activates during cognitive, emotional and physical activity.

In the Nuanic App this reading is displayed on the top of the home screen. Below it you can see the last 12-hour display of your SNS activation.

Can you spot moments of high activation? What about recovery? Try to think what you did in those situations.

The ideal 24-hour DNE index average is 50. This means that there are equal amounts of high and low nervous system activation. However, it is also important that there is variation during the day. Day time activation level is typically overall higher than night-time.

On a longer time scale it is possible to identify activities that either stress you or help you recover. Daily changes are normal, but if your daily average is continuously higher than 50, you should focus on your recovery in order to maintain balance and not get exhausted on the long run.

It is important to note that from the state of activation, it isn’t possible to infer whether the stress is negative or positive. From the physiological standpoint, recovery is also essential following positive stress. 
High readings are not always consciously acknowledged. For instance, cognitive load, which pertains to mental exertion, may not necessarily be felt as a strong sensation, even though the nervous system is under significant stress.

DAYTIME AND
NIGHT-TIME DISPLAYS

Daytime 12-24
Night-time 00-12

Clear visualization helps to grasp the peaks of activity and recovery during day and night. The closer the graph is to the outer rim, the higher the SNS activity is at that moment, and vice versa.

Significant fluctuations in stress levels are normal in healthy individuals. However, the emphasis of activity peaks should be during waking hours. Intense spikes during sleep might indicate challenges in recovery.

On the other hand, low readings while awake could signify calmness but also fatigue. It's beneficial to interpret these readings in relation to personal feelings and daily events. The journal helps you write down notes in relation to specific events and measurement points.

USER GUIDE

The Nuanic App automatically asks you to evaluate your feeling (valence) three times a day:

  • after sleep (at 07:00),

  • after work (at 16:00) and

  • after leisure (at 23:00).

This is added to your journal automatically, and you can edit the given score or add additional notes to it anytime you like in the journal. It is found behind the Journal button on the bottom right corner of the main screen.

the journal feature

You can also add your own journal marking. You can make markings of events of

  • work

  • sport

  • leisure

  • sleep

  • relaxing time

  • dining

  • family time

  • TV/web scrolling, and

  • art.

1. Open the journal.
2. Click on the yellow + to add a marking.
3. Select the smiley face that reflects your valence. Then select your category.
4. Lastly, add a title to your entry and select the time frame. You can also write additional notes to your marking.

FAQ

  • Nuanic ring is a user-friendly way to capture electrodermal activity (EDA).

    The data is stored on the ring and transferred to Nuanic mobile app via bluetooth.

    From Nuanic mobile app the data can be further synchronized to the cloud service.

  • EDA, also known as skin conductance or galvanic skin response, stands for electrodermal activity.

    Electrodermal activity reflects the activation of the sympathetic nervous system measured through eccrine sweat glands. EDA is often used as an indicator of emotional arousal or stress.

    Because skin conductivity is mainly a result of sweat gland activity solely controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, EDA is one of the most direct methods to measure the stress related autonomic nervous system responses.

    The measurement has been applied in psychophysiological research for over a 100 years (Boucsein, 2012). EDA is a sensitive indicator of the sympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system, which is associated with emotion, cognition, and affection (e.g. Critchley, 2002).

  • Nuanic (previously Moodmetric) measurement signal has been validated by two independent studies (Torniainen et al., 2015; Pakarinen et al., 2019) and more are coming. Nuanic technology is already used in research institutes and corporate R&D labs worldwide for studying the reactions of autonomic nervous system.

  • Nuanic (DNE) index is our easy to interpret measure of EDA signal. It is an integer of 1 to 100 that is derived from the EDA signal. It is robust and resistant to motional artifacts.

    EDA raw signal is prone to noise and difficult to interpret. To apply it in research it is required to have a good knowledge of the signal characteristics. Nuanic has understood this issue and provides an EDA measuring device that makes it possible to use the signal without prior knowledge of EDA.

    Nuanic index is determined from the typical features associated with EDA: skin reaction frequency, reaction amplitude and skin conductance level.

    The basic principle of the algorithm behind the index is that it compares changes in EDA to the typical, standard values measured for an individual over the time of wearing Nuanic ring. This means that unlike many consumer trackers the Nuanic measurement result is not compared to reference data.

  • Yes, the Nuanic Ring is waterproof.

    Note that if the finger or the ring is wet, the performance of the measurement may become affected.

  • The battery life is up to 6 days with a full charge in 30 minutes.

  • Nuanic ring comes in four sizes (US 7, 9, 10, 12) with more coming soon.

  • Nuanic ring comes with a wireless charging device and USB-C cable. Nuanic mobile app is free of charge.

    Cloud and support services can be purchased separately.

  • The Nuanic Ring is intended for research use.

    Please note that the receiver needs to cover duties and tariffs specific to each country. We currently only ship to Europe.

  • Nuanic mobile app is free of charge.

    The app will be available on App Store and Google Play.

  • Measured data can be accessed through direct bluetooth access or additional cloud service.

  • Nuanic grants a warranty for material and manufacturing defects of the product, which is valid for one (1) year from the date of purchase.
