Our approach
How does YourOptimalYou™ work?
YourOptimalYou™ helps smaller SME entrepreneurs make mental drop-out visible earlier and prevent it. We do that with a combination of objective measurement, targeted coaching and psychological support when needed. Our approach is practical, personal and largely online.
The three pillars
Brain, Body & Behaviour
Our approach rests on three interconnected pillars. Together they form the foundation for lasting change: from insight into the brain, through signals from the body, to concrete behaviour in daily life.
Step 1
01
You as employer decide who participates
As an employer, you decide which employees the subscription is taken out for.
- for all employees
- or only for key personnel
Step 2
02
A 5-day continuous ECG measurement every quarter
Every participant receives a 5-day continuous ECG measurement every quarter as standard. Much mental overload isn't clearly visible in conversations alone at the start. That's exactly why this measurement is so valuable.
- how high the stress load is
- whether there is sufficient recovery
- how sleep and night recovery are doing
- how resilient someone is at that moment
- whether there are signs of rising risk
Step 3
03
We translate data into understandable insights
The measurement data is translated into clear, actionable insights about stress, recovery, sleep and resilience.
- stress moments
- recovery moments
- balance between exertion and recovery
- sleep quality and night recovery
- signs of overload
- patterns that increase or protect against risk
Step 4
04
Coaching based on physiological data
Based on the measurements we provide targeted coaching. The measurement doesn't become a report in a drawer — it becomes a practical starting point for improvement.
- stress regulation
- recovery moments during the day
- work-life boundaries
- sleep and evening routine
- lifestyle and resilience
- mental resilience
- HRV training
Step 5
05
Fortnightly online HRV group coaching
In addition to personal guidance we offer fortnightly online HRV coaching in a group setting.
- recognise body signals better
- regulate tension faster
- gain more grip on rest and recovery
- build sustainable habits
Step 6
06
Free scale-up when risk increases
When measurements show someone is in the risk zone, we scale up at no extra cost.
- more frequent ECG measurements
- laboratory testing of stress hormones and neurotransmitters
- additional guidance
- more targeted follow-up
- faster deployment of appropriate support
Step 7
07
Psychological support when needed
Sometimes coaching is enough. Sometimes more is needed. That's why YourOptimalYou™ also offers psychological support based on need, scaling up to Basis GGZ (basic mental healthcare) where required. Without extra cost.
Step 8
08
Everything runs online where possible
YourOptimalYou™ is set up so that guidance and support take place online as much as possible. Online where possible. Personal in attention and guidance.
- quickly deployable
- low-threshold for employees
- practical for small business owners
- less travel time and scheduling hassle
- highly scalable
Privacy en vertrouwen
Employer reporting is always anonymised
Employer reports are always anonymised. Employers gain insight into trends, risks and points of attention at group level, but never into the personal data of individual employees.
