FAQ for employees

What is Holistal?

Holistal is a holistic health concept, created in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet Innovation. The service helps companies and individuals create better health choices through micro habits, in several areas.

The concept is centered on evidence-based behavioral science focused on micro-habits, i.e., simple small steps that have a significant impact. These habits are personalized, easy to implement in daily life, and ensure positive measurable results.

The service includes digital tools in the form of an app and a "dashboard," as well as digital and physical lectures and coaching. The coaching is delivered by experts from various fields.

The areas for micro habits are:

Physical exercise
Eating habits (diet and eating behavior)
Sleep/Recovery
Mindfulness/awareness
Energy levels

Why should you choose Holistal?

The positive effects of micro-habits and coaching are:

Improved health and increased physical and mental well-being
Healthy habits that are easy to maintain over time – 75% better work-life balance
40% increased productivity
60% increased engagement
Reduced sick leave and increased well-being in the workplace

What makes Holistal different from other health apps?

Holistal is the only app that covers multiple areas for a healthier lifestyle and improved health. Today, there are apps for exercise, sleep, mindfulness, etc. What we believe is missing, and what our ambition is, is to connect these areas. After all, we are not isolated silos! How I eat is just as important as what I eat and when I eat, for example.

Another thing that sets us apart from many other players on the market is that our services are based on evidence-based behavioral science. We are diligent in maintaining this foundation.

How do I register and get started with Holistal?

To access Holistal, your employer must have purchased the service.

You will then receive an activation email at your work email address.

In the email, there will be a link that you click on, and you'll be asked to fill in your details.

Once your Holistal account is activated, you can download the app and begin your journey toward better health.

You may also have received a code from your employer to activate your account. In that case, you enter your email address and the code, fill in your details, and your account will then be activated.

How can I be sure that I will get help with exactly what I want to improve in my health?

Once you have registered and logged into the app, you will be asked to fill in your goals with Holistal. You will also register where you currently stand within the various areas that Holistal offers:

Physical exercise, Eating habits (diet and eating behavior), Sleep/Recovery, Mindfulness, and perceived Energy levels.

You will then receive tasks and tips from the app, tailored to your starting point and goals. All you need to do is follow along and complete the tasks you are given. It’s simple and designed to be achievable in your everyday life in an easy way.

You can also gain access to different types of coaching in the areas you need.

What do the points mean that I receive when I complete my tasks/register my activities in the app?

The points are converted into rewards at different point levels – exactly what rewards are offered is something that the employer decides and needs to communicate about.

What does Holistal cost?

As a user, it is your employer who pays for the service through a licensing fee per employee. As an employee user, you pay nothing.

Who can see my information and details about my health?

Only you. Your employer will have access to data at the group level for the entire organization, but no one else, not even we at Holistal, can see your specific information.
