Precision Wellness Q&A
How accurate are your biometric measurements?
We use hospital-grade tools validated by Kenya Medical Board:
- Cortisol tests: 98% correlation with lab bloodwork
- VO₂ max assessments: Same tech used by Olympic teams
- Stress sensors: FDA-cleared with 89% user accuracy
Can we customize the 50/50 work-recovery balance?
Three preset modes available:
- Standard (50/50): Best for first-timers
- Performance (70/30): For deadline-driven teams
- Reset (30/70): For burnout recovery
What makes your floatation tanks different?
Industrial-grade advantages:
- 900L Epsom salt saturation (vs standard 600L)
- EEG-monitored sessions track mental waves
- Post-float analytics show cognitive clarity gains
Is there proof this boosts productivity?
2024 client data shows:
- 17% faster decision-making post-retreat
- 23% fewer sick days in following quarter
- 11% revenue increase for sales teams
Why stress sensors instead of wearables?
Clinical-grade advantages:
- Measures electrodermal activity (not just heart rate)
- Detects micro-stressors missed by smartwatches
- No Bluetooth radiation during sleep tracking
