Health Data used to be a major challenge for Health Practitioners, especially when looking at multiple patients, cohorts, or entire patient populations.
The sheer volume of data and lack of helpful tools made it nearly impossible for practitioners to accurately analyze the data just to make informed decisions.
Fortunately, now health professionals have access to new efficient solutions that can help them easily distinguish between useful signal-based insights and unnecessary noise so they are empowered with actionable knowledge quickly – regardless if you’re assessing one individual client, an entire group cohort, or your whole patient population!
Welcome to your new health data toolset for 2023
We are pleased to announce the release of “Signals”, our new reporting module for tracking outcomes across your practice.
Signals lets you define the exact outcomes you are looking for inside your client data set and delivers the data in curated reports specific to your needs.
Here’s a few examples of what’s possible with Signals:
Adherence
Ensure clients are performing the actions needed as part of their program
Example:
Show all patients/clients who have not weighed in for more than <3> days.
Out-of-range
Identify clients whose values have gone out of normal range
Example:
Show all clients with blood glucose readings >180 mg/dL over the past week
Connectivity
Easily track device and lab connection status across all clients
Example:
Show Oura ring connection status for all clients
Cohort analysis
Track outcomes across any cohort of clients
Example:
Show the average Hba1c improvement across all Type 2 Diabetes clients over the past six months
Leaderboards
Create fun and engaging health challenges for your clients with optional incentives
Example:
Show a “Steps” leaderboard for all clients in the practice
Symptom tracker
Allow clients to self-report common symptoms
Example:
Show me all clients on Semaglutide who reported nausea symptoms
Algorithm development
Custom algorithms to look for trends across one or more data sources
Example:
Show all clients with Vitamin D3 levels <30 ng/mL AND baseline Oura HRV <20ms
Create your own
Our team can create custom reports to capture any signals you are looking for
Tedious, time consuming and otherwise complex data analysis tasks can now be automated and reported in seconds saving valuable clinical time in the practice.
Signals pulls everything together, giving you access to multiple channels of health data that are already algorithmically computed, filtered, and reports ready. Providing you with pure signal and zero noise in seconds; improving Health Intelligence.
Heads Up is committed to giving health professionals cutting-edge tools that drastically reduce manual data management costs while providing powerful information needed to do their job well and stand out from the crowd.
Remotely track vital signs, symptoms, outcomes, run studies, validate treatments, quickly see who is out of range, provide protocols at scale, and so much more.
Heads Up + Signals is the industry’s first multi-dimensional health intelligence software.
Signals is a resource-intense system because it works over millions of unique data points across hundreds of sources. It’s costly from a digital computation and management standpoint, but incredibly cheap compared to manual data management approaches that were being used before.
Fortunately for health professionals, the cost savings of running Signals opens up new levels of health intelligence with more efficiency and speed.
This is why we believe every health professional should experience the magic of Signals.
So, we built out a set of Free Signals Reports you can run right now!

Heads Up has invested over a million dollars into developing the new mobile app and we have completely rewritten the app from the ground up with the powerful native base code called Swift.
And today, we have officially released the new Heads Up iOS app for apple iPhones and iPads!!!
This mobile app has been a labor of love and we are proud to finally share it with the world!
The mobile app is a crucial part of our connected health platform. It allows users to track their health data, connect with their care team, and access information and resources on the go. It will even help people take control of their health, see the impact their lifestyle has on them and improve their outcomes like never before.
What’s new?
Improved integrations with Garmin and Withings. We can now support all the advanced metrics from these devices.
New integration with Strava to track Relative Effort (aka Suffer Score)
New list view for the dashboard metrics
Automatic dark/light mode based on the iOS settings
Improved messaging experience for users who are connected to their healthcare professionals
The latest version 5 of the app isn’t perfect yet, but the upgraded foundation has been engineered and implemented.
Right now, we still have some features to add in such as the photo food journal, messaging (now available!), fasting timer, and a couple integrations that are coming soon. If you use these features, don’t worry, they are still available on desktop and mobile browsers. (We will be adding these features in the next release.)
We have received wonderful feedback from early users and are looking forward to continuing improvement on the app based. If you have any suggestions, comments, or questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and let us know.
The iOS app has come a long way and we are truly grateful for your support!
A big shout out and thank you to our developers for making this dream come true.
If your clients’ are using the mobile iOS 4 app, please send them a message to let them know they can upgrade!
One of our leading performance sports coaches Dr. Kevin Sprouse, from Podium Sports, requested we build an integration with Strava; one of the world’s most popular and leading running and cycling apps.
Strava has many powerful features but the one Dr. Sprouse wanted was the infamous Relative Effort variable.
What is Strava’s Relative Effort?
Relative Effort measures how much cardiovascular work went into any activity that has heart rate data or Perceived Exertion
Why is it a powerful variable to measure?
A short and hard workout can require just as much effort as a long and leisurely one. Relative Effort makes it so you can compare the two!
Going even farther, different activity types are weighted so that your efforts can be compared across sports, and your values are personalized to your own heart rate zones. Now giving you the ability to compare with other athletes.
If your clients both ran their hardest 10K effort, their Relative Efforts would be similar even if their finishing times are different. Similarly, if one client rode a bike as hard as they could for the same amount of time, their Relative Effort would be comparable.
Bringing this data point gives you a comparable variable to assess one of the most important factors in sports performance, effort.
With Heads Up Professional, you can now import your clients Relative Effort variable from Strava to see how much effort they are putting in their training.
No more slackers or excuses!
With Heads Up, you can compare your athletes relative effort with their oura HRV and readiness, sleep metrics from oura, Garmin, Withings, Apple Health and dozens of more wearables and health apps.
Giving you context on performance like never before!
Example: Our VP of wearables Chuck Hazzard uses Strava’s Relative Effort & Oura’s AM Readiness to see his effort and recovery scores, helping him tune his training for peak performance.
Chuck typically only runs one long run 18+ miles on weekends, but you can see the one exception to that where he ran a tough mountain run on Saturday followed by a half marathon at race pace (good to run on tired legs from time to time).
If you have Heads Up ‘Signals’, seeing your team cohort analysis is even more helpful. The signals feature will allow you to run effort challenges, see your teams performance variables stacked against each other.
Create effort leaderboards. Identify team trends. Incentivize growth.
If you can’t improve what you don’t measure, isn’t it time to measure team effort?
On top of all this amazing technology, Heads Up Signals further unlocks the ability to create your own health and performance algorithms to run with your teams and clients.
The Strava integration is just one piece of the performance puzzle. Heads Up helps you put all the pieces together to unlock peak performance, health, and longevity.
Don’t just work harder, work smarter.
Get the cutting edge technology to unlock performance insights that help your athletes become champions.

The D.U.T.C.H lab test is a Dried Urine Test For Comprehensive Hormones’.
It’s a premium full spectrum hormone test that performs better than saliva, serum, and 24 hour urine testing for a number of reasons.
Precision Analytical’s DUTCH testing methods go through a rigorous validation process to verify accuracy, recovery, and linearity and are one of the most accurate & precise techniques available for testing.
Patients collect just four or five dried urine samples over a 24-hour period. Dried samples are stable for several weeks making them convenient to ship worldwide.
DUTCH testing was designed to be optimally effective for most forms of hormone replacement therapy.
The best part, Heads Up supports DUTCH lab tests as part of the pdf import capability.
So you can import the results and map them into Heads Up like a flash of lightning!
You can start using this new feature by going here.

There’s a ton of amazing integrative medicine health protocols out there.
Many of these protocols have been developed by talented practitioners over many years looking at thousands of patients and tens of thousands of lab test results.
In many cases, these same practitioners are happy to share their protocols with other integrative practitioners like yourself.
To help facilitate the sharing of high quality health protocols amongst practitioners in the Heads Up community, we’ve created the Community Templates library.
These templates are pre-configured and ready for you to import into your Heads Up account to deploy with your clients.
In addition to sharing high quality protocols, we will be adding other handy time saving templates such as:
Health coaching templates
Pre-built templates for health coaches to document client interactions, goals and progress reports
CPT code templates
Pre-built templates to easily bill for CPT codes facilitated by the Heads Up platform
