How it works

Measuring kit

The device is sent to your home after signing up via the registration form above.

Measuring

After receiving the measuring kit, having charged your device and installed the app, you can start measuring right away. The Linkura device is an ECG device worn on an elastic strap around your chest 24 hours a day. The health check lasts for three days, after which you’ll have the option to keep measuring and exploring your stress for seven more days.

Results

The result of the stress check is found in the app. With these on hand, the efforts of change are less and easier to manage.

What is being measured?

The Linkura device is a wearable ECG device that measures signals from the body. We collect a measure called heart rate variability (HRV) from the ECG signal. HRV tells us about the length of each heartbeat. When the body is relaxed the length of the heartbeats are more irregular, and when the body is under stress they become more rhythmic and regular. This is an ancient mechanism that has to do with the fight or flight response. HRV helps us determine your stress level. In addition to HRV, you will also be able to see your quality of sleep and physical activity.

To get a comprehensive look at your stress level we combine the objective data collected from the body with subjective answers to questions regarding your perceived stress. The questions are developed by Karolinska Institutet and are used clinically to assess the risk of fatigue.

When you've received your measuring kit

After registering your details in the order form, the measuring kit is sent from Linkura within three working days. From here the postal service will make sure to bring the parcel to you as soon as possible. In the measuring kit, you’ll find information that explains how to get started with the stress check. Please remember that you have to start measuring within 3 days of receiving the measuring kit.
Upon receiving the measuring kit, you need to charge the device, download the app and connect the device to your app. Instructions for this are found within the measuring kit.

The device is attached to an elastic strap that you wear around your chest directly on the skin. You need to wear the device at least eight hours a day, but preferably around the clock. In that way, we can make a more precise and relevant analysis of your data.
