An introduction to the Stability Score

How to get your Stability Score in the morning

Overview

  • The Stability Score is a daily snapshot of your body’s signals.

  • It’s calculated after your Morning Check-in.

  • You’ll need to complete at least 4 Morning Check-ins to get your first Stability Score.

  • It's not a wellness score – it reflects your body's stability, not how well you are expected to feel.

  • Use the Stability Score to guide your pacing


Stability not wellness

Your Stability Score measures your body’s stability. It’s not a direct measure of how you feel, or a ‘wellness’ score.

The Stability Score is a data-based snapshot of how your body is doing today:

  • Lower score (1–2): Your body may be under more stress or strain, with less stable patterns. This means your body's signals point to lower stability than usual, not that you're doing badly. When your score is low, it may help to prioritize rest where you can.

  • Middle score (3): There’s no clear signal that your body is more or less stable than usual. Keep pacing today.

  • Higher score (4–5): Your body's signals point to greater stability than usual. This reflects your signals, not necessarily how well you'll feel.

Use the Stability Score to help you listen to your body

The Stability Score is a tool to help you make informed decisions about your daily activities, pacing, and rest, not to give advice about your condition. Let your score guide your pacing, help you listen to your body, and make more confident decisions about rest and activity.

Visible calculates your Stability Score after your Morning Check-in

The Stability Score is based on your body’s biometrics and your own ratings.

To calculate your score, Visible uses:

  • Resting heart rate – overnight or morning

  • Heart rate variability (HRV) – overnight or morning

  • Self-reported sleep rating from your Morning Check-in

  • Self-reported symptom ratings from your Evening Check-in

You’ll still get a Stability Score if you miss your Evening Check-in

If you skipped the previous day's Evening Check-in, your score will be calculated using the other three factors: resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep rating.

You need at least 4 Morning Check-ins to get your first Stability Score

You’ll get your first Stability Score after 4 days of Morning Check-ins. Visible will use that data to work out what a normal day looks like for you.

After that, your normal range is based on up to 90 days of your previous data. So the more Morning Check-ins you complete, the more accurate your Stability Score becomes.

How you complete the Morning Check-in depends on your band and app

Your Stability Score shapes your daily PacePoints budget

If you have an active Visible membership, Visible uses your Stability Score to suggest a daily PacePoints budget. This can help you make pacing decisions that better reflect your body's capacity. For example, on lower Stability days, Visible may suggest a lower budget to make more room for rest.
