Understanding your readiness score in the Google Health app

Your daily readiness score is based on data collected by your device, broken down into the following categories:

• Sleep: Quality sleep aids in your body's recovery. This component analyzes your sleep patterns over the past week to assess its impact on your body's ability to recover. While a single night of poor sleep can impact your score, it often takes several nights of inconsistent sleep to significantly change your body’s physical recovery state.
• Heart-rate variability (HRV): Your heart rate isn't just about how fast it beats; the variations in time between beats offer valuable insights into your overall health. Heart-rate variability (HRV) measures these variations and can reveal your stress levels, recovery capacity, and readiness for physical activity. A decrease in HRV can signal that your body is under stress and needs a break. If you notice this, consider reducing your workout intensity. For more information about HRV, refer to How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device?
• Resting heart rate (RHR): This metric measures your heart rate when you’re well-rested, relaxed, and not engaging in physical activity. Everyone’s normal RHR will differ, with lower values typically associated with higher fitness. In the context of readiness, trends in your day-to-day RHR can be a useful indicator of your body’s state. Particularly, a sustained rise in RHR over a few days is generally associated with your body working harder to recover or fight illness. This may be an indicator to reduce training intensity.
• Before you receive your first readiness score, you must wear your device for 7 nights of sleep to establish a personalized baseline. Your readiness score is then based on how your stats in each category compare to your personal baseline. Wear your device consistently for a month to develop a more accurate personal baseline.

Each of these factors contribute to your readiness. The better assessment you have, the better your readiness score will be.

Your readiness score ranges from 0 (low) to 100 (high), and falls into three categories:

• High Readiness (65 or above): Well recovered from recent activities, and may be ready for peak performance.
• Moderate Readiness (30-64): Your body is showing typical recovery levels and can handle a workout today.
• Low Readiness (29 or below): Your body is fatigued from a tough workout, poor sleep, stress or strain on the body—or a combination of these factors. Prioritize rest and active recovery techniques.

For Premium users, your coach proactively advises adjustments to your training based on your readiness score. While you will no longer receive standalone personalized workout recommendations based solely on your score, your coach ensures your weekly targets align with your body's recovery state.

Tip: This requires the Google Health app, a Google Account, and a compatible Android device and internet connection. Premium content and features are subject to change, may vary based on device and are not available in all countries, and may be in English.

If you're an existing readiness user, we've changed the way your readiness score is calculated to make it more tailored to your body’s recovery signals.

You might notice your readiness scores for previous days change after you update the Google Health app.

What to expect

• On-device: After you update the Google Health app, the readiness score displayed on your device might change and your sub-scores may no longer appear.
• App: The readiness tile might display “No score” while your new score is being calculated. Check back later to find your updated score.

To add readiness as a tile on Google Pixel Watch 3 and 4:

1. From your watch face, swipe to any tile.
2. Long press on the tile to bring up the tile selector menu, then tap Add 👁 Image
   to add a tile.
3. Scroll to find the Readiness tile and tap to select it.
4. Use the arrows to select where the tile should appear among the other tiles on your watch.
5. Press the crown to return to your watch face.

We’ve updated your readiness score to be a better reflection of your recovery and how your body is responding to everything you do. It’s tailored to give you a more precise picture of how ready you are each day. It uses an updated algorithm based on your heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate (RHR), and sleep. This means that we’ve removed the “activity” component of the score and replaced it with “resting heart rate.” As a result, your score is not based on what you did yesterday, but how your body responds to it. This means that even after several days of light activity, your readiness might be low–for example, if your RHR is elevated, or your HRV is lower than usual–indicating your body is working harder to recover.

Additionally, your readiness score is now a primary driver for your coaching experience. Instead of just giving you a number, your coach uses this score to dynamically adjust your training to prevent overtraining or under-recovery.

We’ve also updated the readiness labels from low, good, and excellent to low, moderate, and high.

Your readiness score is now featured prominently in your Today tab metrics dashboard, alongside other key indicators like weekly cardio load and sleep.

• For optimal results, wear your device while sleeping for a month to develop a full baseline.
• In the morning check your score:

Your readiness, stress management, and sleep scores provide a holistic view of your overall health and wellness each day.

• Readiness score: Understand your body’s recovery state. A high score indicates your body is peaking and a low score indicates you should prioritize recovery.
• Stress management score: Understand how your body is responding to stress. A high score indicates you’re better able to deal with stress and take on new challenges. A low score indicates you should take time to recharge. For more information, go to How do I track and manage stress with my Fitbit device?
• Sleep score: Understand your sleep quality the previous night. A high score indicates you got a good night's rest, and a low score indicates you may need to improve your sleep habits. For more information, refer to What's sleep score in the Fitbit app?

• You must use a compatible device. For a list of compatible devices, refer to Who can see a daily readiness score in the Fitbit app?
• To receive your first readiness score, you must wear your device for 7 nights. To continue receiving a score, wear your device to sleep each night.
• If you already received your first score, make sure you wear your device to sleep. Then check your score after you wake up in the morning. Make sure the back of your device is in contact with your skin, and the band should be snug but not constricting.
• Most metrics require at least 3 hours of quality sleep. If you move a lot during your sleep or the sleep session is too short, you might not get a score.

Your Readiness score is calculated once a day, approximately within 20 seconds of getting out of bed from a sleep of at least 3 hours.
