Sue Henry sees HRV as “another tool in the box to improve wellbeing”. The director of MSH Partnership’s presentation discussed two very different ways she has used HRV both in and out of her work in health and wellbeing. Sue revealed how she implemented HRV-derived data within the NHS to get staff more physically active in the lead up to the London 2012 Olympics and, more recently, to impact wellbeing among small business owners. This was followed by her personal story of resilience and courage in beating breast cancer - monitoring her wellbeing along the way. An eye-opener for anyone seeking to make lifestyle changes, the inspirational presentation offered an insight into how objective HRV data can be a lever for change.

3. Challenge & Opportunity
Boorman Review:
u Too few staff meeting physical activity
guidelines & that increasing activity
was likely to have a range of benefits
for individuals and the NHS and
ultimately patients
u Over 80% of staff interviewed said
their own health & wellbeing had
direct impact on patient care

4. Using technology
to win hearts and
minds
..as a lever for change
Not as an end in itself

5. “People change what they do less because they are
given analysis that shifts their thinking, than because
they are shown a truth that influences their feelings”
John Kotter
