Information measured using Firstbeat Life to support well-being
Firstbeat and Terveystalo have been cooperating for a long time, and now the new Firstbeat Life well-being solution is included in Terveystalo's voluntary health checks and the work well-being service. The measurement data on stress, recovery, sleep and exercise provided by Firstbeat's well-being technology help to identify individual load factors and the effects of lifestyles on well-being even better. Terveystalo's occupational health team monitors the data and sees the effects of any changes immediately. For the employer, information is gathered in company and group reports so that the load and recovery factors of the work community can be identified and concrete measures can be found to increase work well-being.

Employers' goal is to take care of their own personnel's ability to work. However, the ability to work is not only a matter tied to the work environment, it is also affected by each person's everyday choices and the joys and sorrows of leisure time. Coping with everyday life and managing stress and recovery challenge both employees and work communities. The load situation is often also reflected in the quality of life, health and performance, and the causes of the load are not always easy to identify or solve by the individual themselves.
Firstbeat's new wellness service based on interval heart rate measurement provides objective data on the load and recovery factors of work and leisure time. Based on them, with the support of Terveystalo's professionals, each individual's own personal change journey towards better coping and well-being at work is drawn up.
– When you want to encourage people to make changes that promote health and well-being, we know that success is facilitated by a clear goal and its monitoring. By offering objective measurement data, everyone directly notices the effect of even a small measure and the internal motivation to change lifestyles increases, says Juho Tuppurainen, who is responsible for strategic partnerships at Firstbeat.
Abnormal results alert the occupational health team
Firstbeat Life is not a medical device, but a wellness technology, so it does not give diagnoses, but guides you to consult a healthcare professional if necessary. Results that deviate from the typical data, alert the occupational health team, so that possible work ability and health risks can be tackled proactively. For example, if the recovery is repeatedly at a low level in the measurement, the application alerts both the user and the occupational health team about it.

In the work well-being service, the data obtained from the measurements is processed into information that also benefits the working community. With the help of regular reports at the company or team level based on anonymous data, we can get a grip of the situation of the entire work community and can allocate support correctly.
– The work well-being service takes into account the level of both the individual and the work community. The goal is to guide people to the right choices and increase understanding of the situation in the entire work community, says Janina Achren, Terveystalo's leading occupational physiotherapist.
