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.

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

Companies and their leaders

52What do you see in an executive who is running down?

He already knows. What he does not know is what it costs him.

For everyone

53How do you build tailor-made programmes for companies?

We start from what the company names, never from a pre-existing programme.

Informed reader

54An HR director has to justify their budget. What do you give them for that?

Nearly seven companies out of ten now evaluate the return on investment of their prevention actions.

Informed reader

55Why go through agencies rather than sell direct?

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

Informed reader

56If you measure my leadership team, am I not creating unease?

The results are individual and private. The dynamic, on the other hand, is collective.

Informed reader

57How is this different from a normal company off-site?

A seminar starts with an icebreaker. Here, it starts with a blood test.

For everyone

58A stay here: what happens?

59Why is the change of scene a condition, and not a perk?

Because you change nothing with your bearings intact.

Expert

Their biological age, measured in ten minutes on the first morning.

For everyone

61Can the return on investment be measured?

The return on investment, here, is counted in the compound interest of longevity.

Expert

62Does participation have to be voluntary?

Yes, and each person freely decides whether they wish to be measured.

Informed reader

63Which profile gets the most out of it?

The right question is not who to send, but how many days.

Informed reader

64Who should not come?

Nobody is excluded without a medical reason, and those reasons are known before arrival.

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 method, in brief

20What exactly is a protocol?

A sequence in three stages: measure, execute, measure again.

For everyone

21What exactly do you measure, on the first morning?

We measure to have a starting point, but we do not wait for the results to act.

For everyone

22How long does the full set of measurements take, per person?

On average, count 30 minutes per person.

Informed reader

27Two people follow the same protocol. Do they get the same result?

Impossible, two people are never identical.

Informed reader


Measured, never promised.
