Lie down for five minutes, then stand still for ten while you take your pulse at set points. At the end you get a sheet of your numbers to print or save — to take to a clinician. Nothing is stored or sent.
Only if it’s safe for you. If you faint on standing, have someone with you, or ask your clinician first. Stand near a wall or a chair, and sit or lie down the moment you feel faint.
You’ll need about fifteen minutes, somewhere to lie down, and a way to read your pulse: two fingers on the inside of your wrist below the thumb, a watch, or a pulse oximeter.
Rather do it on paper? .
Stay lying down

Take your pulse now, still lying down.
Your pulse lying down — take it at the end of the five minutes, just before you stand.
Tap “I’m standing” the moment you’re up — the ten minutes start from then.
Stand still, arms by your sides

Sit or lie down whenever you need to. What you measured is kept.
Done. Here are your numbers.
Nothing is saved. Print or save your sheet before you close this page.

What I noticed
Bucket’s app runs the same test with your Apple Watch reading your heart, and keeps each test with your diary. This free version is for anyone, with or without the app.
A stand test measures your heart rate while you lie down and then while you stand still, at set points over ten minutes. Clinicians use it as one of the ways they look at how the body responds to standing. Bucket’s free version at mybucketlog.com/stand-test times it for you and prints your numbers.
No. It records your numbers and shows them — lying, at 2, 5 and 10 minutes standing, the highest and the rise — and nothing else. Only a clinician can weigh them, alongside everything else about you.
No. The stand test runs entirely in your browser: nothing is saved, sent or kept once you close the page. Print it or save it as a PDF before you leave if you want to keep it.
Put two fingers on the inside of your wrist, below your thumb, or read it from a watch or a pulse oximeter. Bucket’s stand test can time thirty seconds for you and double the count.
Only if it’s safe for you. If you faint on standing, have someone with you or ask your clinician first. Stand near a wall or a chair, and sit or lie down the moment you feel faint — stopping early keeps what was measured.
