Erasmus MC

App designed to prevent burnout

Challenge

Energy-guzzlers and energy-suppliers; everyone has them, but most people are unaware of them. Between 2015 and 2019, the percentage of employees with burnout symptoms increased by a 3.5 percentage to 17%. That is almost one in five employees. How can we support our employees and possibly prevent burnout?

The percentage of employees that have a burnout is almost one in five between 2015 and 2019.

Your World is an app that lets you experiment with new habits that are healthy for the brain.

Solution

IJsfontein, in collaboration with Erasmus MC, developed Your World, a burnout prevention tool. Your World is a game developed especially for Erasmus MC employees where players can get a taste of different ways to improve their mental health.

A healthy brain gives you the 'mental resilience' you need to help you cope with the challenges at home and at work. After a week of trying out a new habit, you can choose to give it up or integrate it into your daily life.
