Why agencies

55Why go through agencies rather than sell direct?

Because an agency already has the clients, the budgets and the logistics.

Informed reader

65You have several formats. How do they fit together?

Two families: conferences, and experiences.

Informed reader

66What happens during a conference?

Two things: what I tell, and what I do in front of you.

For everyone

67Can a whole team be measured?

Yes, by extending the conference with a day of measurements.

Informed reader

The place

12Take us inside — we arrive, what do we see?

More than what you see, it is what you feel: an immersive sensation of well-being.

For everyone

13Why a villa, and not a facility?

Because the Living Lab is only one part of the set-up.

Informed reader

14A living laboratory — what does that mean, concretely?

The term comes from MIT, and it names a method: testing in real conditions, with the people who live in the place.

Informed reader

15What is measured in the place itself — air, light, water?

You measure an environment to identify what harms us. But here, there is nothing harmful.

Informed reader

16How many people can come at the same time?

Apart from the collective sessions, the programme runs in workshops of four people.

For everyone

17What is still missing here today?

The devices, and they arrive in order.

Informed reader

18What did you refuse to put in this place?

Mostly I ranked by priority, and the refusal will come from the test.

Informed reader

19You live in it. What difference does that make?

I created this place to live in, before imagining hosting anyone.

Experts in Residence

37What is an expert in residence?

It is the same thing as an artist in residence, but the work is a scientific protocol.

For everyone

38How do you choose your experts?

Answer in preparation.

Informed reader

39What does a residency produce?

Answer in preparation.

Informed reader

40Why would an established expert come to you?

Answer in preparation.

41What happens if an expert and you disagree?

Answer in preparation.

Informed reader

The boundary: what IO8 does not do

42Is IO8 a clinic?

A clinic treats when the problem exists.

For everyone

43What do you not do?

We do not treat, we do not diagnose, and we promise no result.

For everyone

44Who draws the blood, and who reads the results?

Licensed health professionals, and nobody else.

Informed reader

45What happens if a result comes back abnormal?

The Living Lab's physician is the one who finds it, and the one who talks to you about it.

Informed reader

46What exactly do you promise?

A starting measurement, which will be either an anchor point or an electroshock.

Informed reader

47Why refuse to promise a result?

Because a result is only validated over the long term, and it depends on the habits installed.

Expert

48How do you protect health data?

Sovereignty is an obsession for us, and on data this sensitive, it has to be.

Informed reader

49What does the company get, in the end?

It gets the answer to the question it asked when building the programme.

Informed reader

50Can the employer see their employees' results?

Health data belongs to the person measured, and to them alone.

Informed reader

51What does a burnout cost a company?

A burnout means four to six months of absence, where an ordinary sick leave lasts fifteen days.

Informed reader


Measured, never promised.
