neuropattern™ in health care
There is a phenomen that is constantly reocurring in stress research: one’s own estimation of the stress one is experiencing, and the signals that the body is sending out, do not correlate.
Concisely, this means that a person may feel that he/she is under a great deal of stress even though this is not indicated by the measurement of the common stress hormones. Conversely - and this may be far more dangerous - some people enjoy being under stress even though their body already develops stress pathology.
Thus, one can not rely upon perceived stress when deciding whether one can cope with future stress loads. Often, teachers, care staff, members of the police or executives find that their health is impaired if they suffer constant stress - while they are in the middle of their careers. Neuropatterns can help to establish at an early stage whether these risks definitively exist, ensuring that the right steps can be taken to avoid gambling with one's health.
So why can neuropattern™ assess this risk better than you can? Stress research tells us about something called the “covariation problem”. It describes the fact that subjective stress perception and physical stress response are completely independent of each other. This means that the release of harmful stress hormones and nerve signals is not experienced consciously. So, of course, we cannot subjectively perceive whether stress is harming our cardiovascular or reproductive systems, or making us put on weight, or promoting diabetes, osteoporosis or digestive problems.
neuropattern™ avoids the covariance problem by specifically measuring the activities of the neuroendocrine interfaces via which stress affects physical functions. Not only does it check whether any changes have occurred, it also establishes whether genetic or acquired risks exist that could encourage changes in these brain systems in the future. Thus neuropattern™ enables us to determine well in advance whether these risks exist. or not. Anyone who cares about his health can now take the appropriate steps in advance.
