A system can include a wearable device that obtains real-time physiological data and activity data from a user and transmits that data to another device. A computing device can receive HRV and activity data and determine whether the users autonomic nervous system is in a predominantly sympathetic or parasympathetic state. For example, the determination can include comparing an average variance in a portion of the HRV data with a threshold value. In response to determining that the users autonomic nervous system is in a sympathetic state, the device can perform an action.
