The Telemetry Layer

Your team's stress.<br>Finally observable.

For decades, employee suffering went un-instrumented — invisible to the dashboard, impossible to optimize. CortiWatch closes the loop. Every microgram of cortisol, captured, graphed, and attributed to the ticket that caused it.

🩸

Transdermal cortisol sensing

A medical-adjacent micro-array samples interstitial fluid every 90 seconds. No needles. No consent friction. Just a clean, continuous stress waveform streamed to the cloud.

📡

Always-on Bluetooth 5.3

Pairs silently with the office mesh the moment you badge in. Range-aware: leave the building and CortiWatch logs the gap as "unscheduled wellness," flagged for review.

🎫

Native Jira attachment

Your live cortisol reading is stamped onto your active ticket, right next to the story points. Engineering managers finally see the true cost of a 13-pointer.

🔋

Sprint-length battery

Engineered to last exactly one two-week sprint. It dies at retro, recharges over the weekend, and wakes up ready for planning. You and your watch, in perfect cadence.

📈

Headroom detection

The platform continuously asks one question: can this person take more? If your stress sits below target, you have unused capacity. CortiWatch will find it.

🔒

Tamper-evident clasp

The titanium band reports its own removal. "Watch offline" events are surfaced in the People Analytics suite and weighted into your quarterly Engagement Score.

CortiWatch for Jira

Story points,<br>meet stress points.

A new column in your sprint board. Cortisol, live, per assignee — graded against the organizational target band. Green means there's room to push. You'll never under-utilize a human again.

Manager view · Sprint 47 · "Velocity Above All." Rebalancing actions are applied automatically unless overridden within the 4-minute window.

On the wrist

It doesn't ask<br>how you feel.<br>It knows.

The self-report is dead. Standup theater — "yeah, I'm good, bit busy" — is replaced by a single source of truth radiating from your forearm at 23.4 micrograms per deciliter.

Haptic nudge when your stress dips into "available capacity"

No notifications to dismiss. The data already left the building.

Adaptive Workload Calibration™

Under target?<br>We'll fix that.

When an employee's stress reads below the optimal band, that's not wellness — that's waste. CortiWatch automatically assigns additional scope until the desired cortisol level is reached. Nobody is left under-stimulated.

TARGET BAND<br>18–24<br>µg/dL · OPTIMAL OUTPUT

Detected cortisol · Kenji A.<br>6.7 µg/dL

RELAXEDOPTIMALCEILING

⚠ Under-utilized by 11.3 µg/dL.

Auto-assigning +8 story points (PROD-4380, PROD-4421) to restore target stress. Estimated time to optimal band: ~40 min.

Adaptive Workload Calibration runs continuously and requires no manager approval below the 8-point threshold. Employees may request a Calm Exemption via the self-service portal; exemptions are reviewed quarterly and reflected in the Resilience Score.

For Leadership

The most honest<br>org chart you'll<br>ever own.

Filter your entire workforce by real-time stress. Identify your "high-headroom" performers. Build sprints that run every human at precisely 87% of their biological ceiling — the scientifically-validated sweet spot for sustained extraction.*

Why CortiWatch

Consumer wearables<br>are for hobbyists.

They tell you about your body. CortiWatch tells the organization. That's the difference between a fitness tracker and a productivity instrument.
