Imagine having your best day at work ever, then being able to identify and replicate what made it so good. ZISHI Elite is a ground-breaking app that uniquely correlates an individual’s workplace performance data, with their physiological and biometric data to maximise performance and functioning.
By recognising which practices work for people, and more importantly what doesn’t, it can help them recreate the conditions their body and mind need to perform at their peak each day.

You don’t need an app to know you won’t get the best from people who are physically or emotionally tired or unwell. But ZISHI Elite is intelligently simple. First, it holds up a mirror to show your employees exactly what factors are most impacting their ability to perform at their peak.
Then it goes even further; responding to personal data with personalised content designed to help them adapt behaviours and habits. It includes areas such as mitigating stress, and introducing mindfulness, enabling users to operate within their optimal performance zone for longer.
Businesses need to focus on what makes the biggest difference to their bottom line. That’s why we put the ZISHI Elite app in the hands of our own traders. From measuring heart rate variability, to stress levels and positive and negative emotions, it analyses the findings alongside their performance. This previously hidden data is now turned into positive bottom-line numbers. It shows each user exactly what’s affecting their trading performance and gives them personal feedback and suggestions for improvement.

To find out more about ZISHI Elite and how it could turn everyday performance into peak performance for your business, simply fill in the form below.
ZISHI Elite is an arm of the ZISHI business that uses technology to analyse workplace performance data against physiological and biometric data to maximise performance and functioning. It helps a user to understand the conditions that their body and mind need to perform at their peak, then maintain it.
The ZISHI Elite team includes some of the world’s brightest minds. It is a collective of highly respected trading experts and academics from the world of Elite performance who have amassed decades of experience and lead the way in their specific sectors.
We have created an app that analyses daily performance against a variety of factors. These include heart rate, heart rate variability, stress, anxiety, positive and negative emotions, amongst other things. The Elite app analyses data that was previously unseen and wasted; uncovering correlations that are affecting an individual’s performance.
The Elite app currently works with both iOS and Android devices.
More than simply bringing performance to the surface, the app responds to an individual’s personal data with personalised content designed to help them adapt behaviours and habits. From how to mitigate stress on the body and introduce mindfulness, to how sleep quality impacts how much profit they make. It helps reduce the margins of error by allowing users to understand themselves and their performance in more detail and increasing their likelihood to succeed.
This feedback is given in the form of almost 200 unique articles, videos and charts. It highlights correlations and their strengths, giving full visibility to the user and allowing them to take ownership of their own data.
Although personal to the individual, the app can be made bespoke to the business and its needs by adjusting the performance metrics. While it was designed originally for OSTC traders, Elite can be used for varying businesses which need to measure against sales targets, customers’ votes and calls handled, or profit and loss.
It is specifically designed to allow this flexibility and for companies from multiple disciplines to benefit from its use. The end user can update the performance metrics manually allowing the app to become truly bespoke.
We take data protection very seriously and abide by all the regulations surrounding this type of data collection, regarding both how it is handled and stored. At OSTC, only the trader themselves ever see their data.
This app has been designed for the end user and is not used by any senior management to judge any employee’s performance. This app is in place to help them improve performance and for an employee to gain a deeper understanding of themselves.
