The Wellness Factors report is split into two main sections

Key Findings

Provides a clear overview of your clients’ well-being at a glance. Understand risk areas and themes that require attention as well as strengths on which well-being can confidently be built.

Key findings are colored and grouped into: positive findings, slightly negative findings and negative findings. The report takes into account also client’s subjective feeling.

Wellness factors

The intuitive color-coding shows which factors have a neutral, positive or negative impact on your client’s wellness. This makes interpreting a client’s result much easier and helps you see what to focus on next.

Wellness factors lists 25 essential factors that represent key cornerstones of well-being and healthy lifestyles with strong scientific foundation. The themes of reporting relate to factors crucial for balancing stress and workload with recovery: resilience, effects of stress, sleep, physical activity, fitness, work-related factors, self-assessments, and heart function.

For example, the sleep category consists of the following areas: Is the client sleeping long enough and what is the intensity of recovery during sleep? Is the sleep rhythm regular? Is bedtime appropriate, or is it too late? How soon does recovery start after going to bed?

Colour-coded wellness factors and key findings represent the impact of each factor on the person’s well-being

Green
Good to excellent results were found in this wellness factor. This is likely to have a positive impact on health and well-being. “Well done – keep up the good work!”

Grey
The result varies between days or is at a moderate level. This has a neutral impact on the person’s well-being. “No cause to worry, but you can try to improve this if it feels appropriate.”

Orange
The result is weak on several measured days, and it can have a negative impact on the person’s well-being in the long run. Try to improve this area with your client. “There is room for improvement.”

Red
The result was weak or very weak on most measured days. This has a negative impact on overall well-being and can indicate an elevated health risk. It is recommended to take prompt action. If there are a lot of red cards, pick out, together with your client, 1-2 areas to focus on initially. “Take action right away”

No data
This means that there is not enough data or there is some data missing.

How does the feature work?

Wellness Factors is a new summary report that complements the previous Firstbeat Life features and results. Wellness Factors are automatically calculated from 3-6 most recently measured days, during the previous 3-month period.

The feature is available only in the Firstbeat Life Admin tool; it is not shown in the client’s mobile application. You will find your client’s wellness factors under their measurement results. All results are found under the Measurements tab, and beneath that, you can find the Wellness Factors page.

Firstbeat blog: A journey beyond the numbers of well-being

“Stress measurements have evolved from analyzing heart rate curves and HRV to quantifying well-being in points and figures. Yet, we recognized that this method wasn’t always straightforward or accessible. Our goal was to bridge the gap between well-being factors and everyday life—presenting easily understandable insights and actionable steps,” explains Tero Myllymäki, Head of Physiology Research at Firstbeat.
