Prevention

The fixed prevention programme within MentalCareDirect™

YourOptimalYou™ is the fixed prevention programme within MentalCareDirect™. With this scientifically grounded programme we detect changes early and provide directly appropriate support. When prevention is no longer enough, the participant flows through to YourWorkplacePsychologist for primary mental healthcare — with the same Lead Clinician, without a waiting list.

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

Measure objectively

Continuous medical-grade ECG measurements, questionnaires, and — where signals warrant it — saliva analysis or QEEG assessment.

Coach purposefully

Coach purposefully

Personal coaching based on the measured data — no assumptions, real results.

Escalate when needed

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 prevention programme works

Step 1

01

A 5-day continuous ECG measurement every quarter

Every quarter each participant gets a 5-day continuous medical-grade ECG measurement. This makes stress 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.
