App size: 34.16 Mb
Interested to see how much energy your body consumes for mental tasks? (*)
After an auto-renewable subscription (with a 7-day free trial period), you will be able to use the app to continuously measure your stress level.
Important: this app works with a Heart Rate watch from MIO (Mio Alpha 1 or 2). To be able to calculate your personal stress levels, you need to wear the sports watch MIO Alpha that measures your heart rate in a continuous way. If you do not have one, you can buy this watch online.
(*) The Stress@Work measures the energy used for mental activity. Note that the stress experienced by your body (= physiological stress) is not necessarily identical to the perceived stress. As every individual reacts to mental load in a different way, the stress levels will vary for each person.
Why do you need a watch that measures heart rate?
The Stress@work app calculates your individual stress levels based on different variables (a.o. heart rate) measured on the body.
How to use this Stress@Work app?
1. Put on the Mio Alpha watch and start the heart rate measurement
2. Download the app on your phone and open it
3. Register (or log-in)
4. Connect your watch with your smartphone
5. Start measuring, keeping your phone on your body.
To measure your stress, you need a subscription that unlocks the following features:
- Continuous and automated stress level calculation and visualization
- Overview of your stress and mental recovery evolution during the day
- Daily balance of mental energy consumption and recovery at the end of the day
- Weekly balance after 7 days of measurements and a first feedback.
The cost of the auto-renewable subscription is (exceptionally until the end of the year) 9.99 Euros per month (this may differ slightly depending on your exact location) and will renew automatically at the end of the month (and you will get the first 7 days for free!). Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period for the same cost. You can manage your subscription at any time from your User Account Settings.The general terms and conditions can be found at https://biorics.com/privacy/stressatwork-privacy-policy.html
The app also allows you to indicate your stressors in the app upon receiving an alarm via your smartphone. This feature helps you to become aware of your main stressors, which is a first step towards managing and improving your personal stress levels.
