For the individuals

As an individual you regularly respond to 11 global questions (takes about 15 seconds) about health, stress and the psychosocial work environment. You receive instant feedback and can monitor your own development of key indicators of health, wellbeing, stress and work environment over time. HealthWatch.se offers scientifically proven self-help exercises with documented positive effects on sleep, stress management, concentration ability, well-being and more. Corresponding effects have also been found in biomarkers in blood samples. There is a personal diary and functions to register and monitor physical activity, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc. If you are part of an organization that subscribes to HealthWatch.se, you will additionally have access to more comprehensive and in-depth surveys. These are often used 1 – 4 times a year for screening of the most common public health disorders (e.g. signs of mental/stress-related ill health and musculoskeletal disorders) and the psychosocial work environment. There are also news updates about stress, health and medicine on the website and in the app.
