HEALTH PROMOTION
MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT

About THP²

Total Health & Performance Plan

Health and health promotion are rapidly becoming more important in Western countries in a wide context. The consumption of health food and especially exercise are promoted through governmental promotion campaigns and even within companies as a part of their health management strategies. Physical activity is important for people themselves, as it influences health and the rate at which people physically and cognitively grow old. Too little physical activity also leads to a higher risk of diseases and an earlier death. Furthermore, health is an important factor for companies as their absenteeism rates are higher when employees have an unhealthy lifestyle.

All the features mentioned above lead to the need for professionalization of companies who provide health promotion as part of their services. This process contributes to the need for the ability to ‘measure health’ in an efficient, valid and reliable way, a need which is solved by the Total Health and Performance Plan (THP²).

THP² BUSINESS PRESENTATION

Why THP²?

THP² is a management system in which the whole process of fitness testing and exercise prescription is automatically processed and systematically managed. With this system it is possible to detect health risks early through health screening on an individual level and within groups.

There is a need for professionalizing health promotion activities and to improve its quality; the Total Health and Performance Plan contributes to this process by using the latest technologies and insights regarding testing and measuring people, and it uses the latest developments in ICT in linking and integrating the various components of the testing system.

Some advantages that THP² Europe brings to the fitness, physical therapy and wellness sectors are:

  • More professional selection of corporate care, self management, prevention and lifestyle, among others  
  • From fitness centre to knowledge centre within the local area
  • Access to new audiences (for example diabetes patients, COPD patients and companies)
  • Stands out from the competition
  • Customer loyalty/retention within your centre

THP² VISION AND MISSION

Vision

Total Health & Performance Plan Europe (THP² Europe) considers healthiness to be a basic condition for the functioning of people in their daily lives. Examples are their working spaces, schools, sports clubs or one’s social environment.

THP² Europe believes that the early detection of health risks through health screenings on individual and group levels is the basis of effective and efficient health improvement. Digital and new technologies for testing and measuring offer excellent opportunities to improve existing screening methods in validity and reliability and to therefore initiate adequate follow-up.

Mission

THP² Europe has set a target to develop a new integral test and measuring concept for health screening and to apply this concept among a broad range of people. The newest insights and technologies for testing and measuring people are thereby used. Also, the newest ICT developments are integrated into the concept. THP² Europe aims for the highest possible sensitivity of the tests in the concept, but also for the maximal usefulness of the results for the end-user in the way in which these are presented to him.
