Problems

This is a LabChart's HRV report file (.txt) of 1 subject.

Usage

library(labChartHRV)

This package comes with example data of LabChart's HRV report file(s) in .txt.

# Path to a folder containing example HRV report text files
path_hrv <- labChartHRV_example("HRV")
dir(path_hrv)

Read HRV report file(s) from .txt to a data frame by calling read_HRV_reports() with path to either single HRV report or folder containing multiple reports.

# Read multiple HRV report files from a folder
hrv_tbl <- read_HRV_reports(path_hrv)
hrv_tbl

hrv_tbl is a tibble (data frame)

Columns are variables including the results from time-and frequency-domain HRV analysis.
Rows corresponding to report files (i.e., each subjects).
