    Stress: measuring the psychosocial side of health

    Burnout is the one your leaders see. Most psychosocial risk is invisible until it isn't. The P-PRI (Preventa Psychosocial Risk Index) measures it with 65 validated Likert items across six scored domains.

    Six scored domains

    Each domain captures a different driver of workplace wellbeing — from job demands to recovery to engagement.

    • Work demands
    • Work resources & autonomy
    • Social safety
    • Engagement & meaning
    • Recovery & work-home interface
    • Recognition & reward

    The physiological side of stress

    The P-PRI captures how work feels. The Oura Ring shows whether the body is actually recovering from it — measured every night, not recalled afterwards.

    • Heart-rate variability — falling values point to sustained strain
    • Resting heart rate — a rising baseline often precedes burnout complaints
    • Sleep quality and duration — the first thing chronic stress erodes
    • Readiness trend — a steady decline over weeks is an early warning
    • A mismatch between survey answers and ring data is itself a signal

    Aggregated, not individual

    Employers only ever see anonymised, aggregated results with a minimum group size. Individuals see their own.

    Why this matters alongside biomarkers

    Psychosocial stress shapes the same biological systems we measure with biomarkers — cardiovascular, metabolic and inflammatory. Combining the three pillars is how we explain the whole picture.

    Educational content only. Individual P-PRI results are private to the employee; employer dashboards are aggregated with privacy thresholds.
