Introduction
Running a successful health coaching practice in 2025 means juggling more tools than ever before. You've got one app for scheduling, another for video calls, a spreadsheet for tracking client progress, a separate system for meal plans, and somehow you're still manually compiling reports at 11 PM.
Meanwhile, your clients expect personalized guidance based on real data - not guesswork. They've heard about HRV, sleep optimization, and stress recovery. They want a coach who can actually see what's happening in their bodies, not just ask how they're feeling.
The problem isn't that the technology doesn't exist. It's that it exists in a dozen different places, none of which talk to each other. Every hour you spend switching between platforms is an hour you're not spending with clients.
CardioMood was built to solve exactly this problem. It's a comprehensive healthcare monitoring and coaching platform that brings everything you need - real-time health data, AI-powered insights, client management, learning programs, scheduling, and reporting - into a single integrated system.
This guide walks through every major capability of the CardioMood platform, showing you exactly how each feature translates into better outcomes for your clients and a more sustainable practice for you.
What is CardioMood?
CardioMood is an all-in-one coaching platform that connects directly to medical-grade wearable data through Corsano Health Cloud. Unlike consumer fitness apps that give you step counts and estimated calories, CardioMood provides access to 15+ clinical-grade health metrics - heart rate variability, blood oxygen, blood pressure, core temperature, ECG readings, and detailed sleep staging.
But raw data isn't enough. CardioMood transforms that data into actionable coaching intelligence through:
- Real-time health dashboards showing exactly what's happening with each client
- AI assistants that help you analyze patterns and generate personalized recommendations
- Automated alerts when vital signs cross thresholds you define
- Structured programs you can build and assign to clients
- Professional reports generated automatically and delivered on schedule
The platform supports three user types: Members (your clients tracking their health), Coaches/HCPs (you and your team), and Administrators. This guide focuses on the coach experience - the features that directly impact how you run your practice.
Health Data Monitoring: See What's Really Happening
The foundation of effective coaching is accurate data. CardioMood integrates with Corsano medical-grade wearables to provide continuous monitoring across every metric that matters.
Vital Signs You Can Actually Trust
| Metric | What You See |
|---|---|
| Heart Rate | Resting, average, maximum, daily trends |
| Blood Oxygen (SpO2) | Continuous monitoring with trend analysis |
| Blood Pressure | Systolic/diastolic tracking over time |
| Core Temperature | Not skin temperature - actual core body temp |
| Respiration Rate | Breaths per minute throughout the day |
| HRV | Heart rate variability with detailed analysis |
| ECG/PPG | Medical-grade electrocardiogram readings |
This isn't the approximated data you get from a consumer fitness tracker. These are the same measurements clinicians use, available to you in real-time.
Sleep Analysis That Goes Beyond Duration
Most apps tell you how long someone slept. CardioMood shows you what actually happened during those hours:
- Sleep stage breakdown: Deep sleep, light sleep, REM, and awake periods
- Hypnogram visualization: A complete picture of the night's sleep architecture
- Night recovery analysis: How effectively the body recovered during sleep
- Sleep quality scoring: A single metric that captures overall sleep effectiveness
When a client says they slept eight hours but still feels exhausted, you'll know exactly why. Maybe they got only 45 minutes of deep sleep. Maybe they woke up six times without remembering. The data tells the story their perception can't.
Activity Tracking with Context
- Daily step counts with customizable goals
- Distance and calorie tracking
- Active minutes throughout the day
- Workout logging with detailed metrics
- Move-every-hour reminders for sedentary clients
Advanced Health Insights
CardioMood goes beyond basic metrics to show you patterns that would otherwise be invisible:
- Autonomic Nervous System balance: Is the client stuck in sympathetic overdrive?
- Stress level monitoring: Daily charts showing stress patterns
- Burnout risk assessment: Early warning indicators before problems become serious
- Circadian temperature rhythm: How well the body's internal clock is functioning
- Intraday stress heatmaps: See exactly when stress peaks occur
Customizable Health Alerts
You can set specific thresholds for each client based on their individual baselines. When a vital sign crosses that threshold, you get notified immediately.
- Color-coded alert banners (critical, elevated, warning)
- Trend break alerts using anomaly detection
- Urgency-based notification levels
- Real-time dashboard visibility
A client's resting heart rate normally sits around 62 bpm. Today it's 78, and they haven't mentioned feeling unwell. Without automated alerts, you'd never catch it until your next session.
AI-Powered Coaching Assistant
The AI features in CardioMood aren't gimmicks - they're practical tools that extend what you can do in a day.
The Chat Interface
Every conversation with the AI is saved and organized. You can:
- Get real-time streaming responses for natural conversation flow
- Access your full conversation history
- Archive or delete conversations as needed
- Use quick action buttons with pre-populated prompts designed for coaching workflows
The quick actions differ for coaches and clients, so everyone gets relevant starting points.
Create Your Own AI Assistants
This is where CardioMood becomes uniquely powerful. You can create custom AI assistants tailored to your coaching style and methodology:
Configuration options include:
- Custom name, description, and avatar
- System prompt configuration (the core instructions that shape behavior)
- Response style settings:
- Tone: Clinical, friendly, or balanced
- Verbosity: Concise, moderate, or detailed
- Topic restrictions (keep the AI focused on what you want it to discuss)
- Widget enable/disable (control which health data visualizations appear in chat)
- Report generation capability toggle
Knowledge Base Integration:
You can upload your own materials - PDFs, images, videos, text documents - and the AI will use them when responding. Created a proprietary stress management protocol? Upload it. The AI will reference your specific approach, not generic internet advice.
The system uses vector embeddings for semantic search, meaning the AI understands context and meaning, not just keyword matching.
Visibility Control:
| Level | Who Can Access |
|---|---|
| Private | Only you |
| Clients | Clients you assign it to |
| Team | All team members |
Usage Statistics:
Track how your assistants are being used: total conversations, token consumption, and when they were last accessed. This helps you understand which assistants are providing value and which might need refinement.
Health Widgets in Chat
During AI conversations, you can pull in real-time health data visualizations:
- Vital signs summary widgets
- Trend chart widgets showing patterns over time
- Intraday activity charts
- Client-specific data views
Ask the AI about a client's sleep patterns and see the actual sleep data appear in the conversation. Ask about stress and see the stress heatmap. This integration between AI analysis and real data is what makes the coaching intelligence actionable.
