Introduction to the Wellness Score

The Symmio Wellness Score is a major step forward in evaluating health and wellness, designed with your clients' specific needs in mind. It's built on solid research and gives a detailed look at health risks across eight key areas. As a professional using Symmio, you have a powerful tool to understand and guide your users' health journeys more effectively.

Score Composition and Development

At its core, the Wellness Score is dissected into eight domains of functional wellness, each meticulously evaluated to ensure:

  1. A foundation in solid, evidence-based research.

  2. An intricate analysis that accounts for both the presence and severity of risk factors.

By employing evidence-backed tests and assessments, we translate diverse health and wellness indicators into a numerical score ranging from 0 to 100. A score of 100 signifies the attainment of minimum benchmarks within a domain, establishing a baseline for wellness.

Furthermore, the integration of a domain-specific weighting system refines the score's accuracy, leveraging decades of research into the interplay between health factors, injury risk, and overall wellness. The outcome is a sophisticated, tiered scoring system that delineates wellness levels from poor (below 69) to excellent (90-100%).

Optimizing the Wellness Score

Our journey to perfect the Wellness Score involved extensive testing to validate its relevance and utility for professionals like you. The goal was to ensure that the score is not just a reflection of an individual’s health status but also a practical tool for intervention and improvement.

Strategies for Score Improvement
