Prevention
The vitality check for employees
This is the periodic vitality check for employees. A medical-grade ECG measurement objectively maps vitality, resilience, recovery and sleep: twice a year with Energy and four times with Care and Family.
YourOptimalYou™ is the fixed vitality programme within MentalCareDirect™. With this scientifically grounded programme we translate measurement results into practical steps for more energy and recovery. When psychological care is needed, the participant flows through to YourWorkplacePsychologist for primary mental healthcare, with the same Lead Clinician, without a waiting list.
Quick answer
What is a vitality check for employees?
A vitality check objectively maps load, recovery and sleep using questionnaires and a 3 to 5 day continuous medical-grade ECG measurement. Energy includes two measurements per year; Care and Family include four. A specialist translates the results into practical steps for vitality, resilience and capacity to recover.
- Measuring stress in employees via heart rate variability (HRV), recovery and sleep quality.
- Personal coaching based on the measurement data, plus fortnightly online group HRV coaching.
- Where signals warrant it, additional lab testing of stress hormones or a QEEG assessment.
- We take the initiative: twice a year with Energy and four times with Care and Family.
- The employer only sees anonymised team-level patterns, never individual results.
Three pillars
Brain, Body & Behaviour
Our preventive approach rests on three connected pillars: insight into the brain, body signals, and concrete behaviour in daily life.
Measure objectively
Continuous medical-grade ECG measurements, questionnaires, and - where signals warrant it - saliva analysis or QEEG assessment.
Coach purposefully
Personal coaching based on the measured data - no assumptions, real results.
Escalate when needed
At elevated risk, immediate escalation to primary mental healthcare - no waiting list, no additional cost.
The unique mechanism
Measure what others miss. Coach on what we see.
We work with laboratory analyses via saliva tests and continuous medical-grade ECG measurements. That makes stress load, recovery, sleep and physical resources objectively visible.
Based on those measurements we deliver targeted coaching. Measuring isn't the goal, it's the starting point for real improvement.
The measurement gives insight. The coaching makes the difference.
The journey
How the vitality programme works
Step 1
01
Two or four periodic ECG measurements
Energy includes two and Care and Family include four multi-day medical-grade ECG measurements per year. This makes vitality, load, recovery, sleep and resilience objectively visible.
Step 2
02
Data translated into understandable insights
The measurements are translated into clear, usable insights about stress moments, recovery, balance, sleep quality and overload signals.
Step 3
03
Personal coaching based on data
Based on measurements each participant gets targeted coaching on stress regulation, recovery moments, work-life boundaries, sleep, lifestyle and mental resilience.
Step 4
04
Fortnightly online group HRV coaching
Alongside personal coaching we offer fortnightly online HRV coaching in a group: learning to recognise body signals, regulate tension faster, build sustainable habits.
Step 5
05
Free escalation at elevated risk
If measurements show someone is in the risk zone, we escalate at no extra cost: more frequent measurements, lab testing for stress hormones, extra coaching and, if needed, immediate transition to primary mental healthcare.
Step 6
06
Seamless transition to treatment
When prevention no longer suffices, a participant flows effortlessly into the primary mental healthcare practice of MentalCareDirect™ - with the same Lead Clinician, without a waiting list.
Privacy and trust
Employers get insight. Employees keep their privacy.
Reporting to the employer is always anonymised. Employers see patterns and risks at group level, never personal medical or psychological data about individual employees.
