Period Analysis

Chart 1: Average stress levels

🎯 The goal of this chart is to help you identify patterns and stress peaks in the client’s day.

Analyse larger periods (e.g 2 weeks or more) to get more accurate results.

Use case 1: Analyse the whole period

1	Select the period that you want to analyse. 👉You can see a blue dot under the dates that there is available stress data.
2	Set the intervals. 👉We advise using the 15-minute option.
3	Adjust the time span to match the measurements' usual start and end times.
3.1	Tip: If you don't know your client's usual measurements start and end times, check the Measurement table below.
4	Read the data carefully. Look for stress peaks or moments of relaxation, and always consider what your client was doing before and during those times.

Use case 2: Analyse different days

Your client usually has a different day program on different days. It is very useful to see on which days your clients experience more stress

1

To understand which days are more stressful than others, set the chart “per day“.

👉 Pay attention to differences—certain routines or activities on specific days may be causing more stress for your client.

2

To dig deeper and see which parts of the day make a difference, use the toggle “Separate days“, and sent the chart back to “per 15min”.

💡 Look for patterns in those differences—they may be linked to transitions, certain visitors or caregivers, or other stress factors. Ask yourself: what is different compared to the other days?

Chart 2: Compare periods

Use case 1: Compare 2 different periods

1	Use the date pickers to select two consecutive periods. The card on the left will show the calculated difference. 💡 This is especially useful when testing interventions across time. Compare at least 2 weeks vs. 2 weeks or 1 month vs. 1 month for more reliable insights.

Use case 2: Compare weekdays vs weekends of the same period

1	Select the same dates in both date pickers. Then, use the additional controls to set weekdays for Period 1 and weekends for Period 2. 💡 From our experience at Mentech, we’ve observed that clients often show different stress levels on weekends compared to weekdays.
