for employees and companies
The moments that matter need your best self.
An AI wellbeing coach for your employees. It notices early signals and offers support, often before someone realizes anything is off. So your people still have energy after work.

The sick note is how you find out. That's months too late.
Why every tool misses it
Surveys, wellness apps, hotlines: they all wait for the employee to make the first move. But people sliding into burnout stop reaching out. The tools go quiet exactly when it matters.
Stoa makes the first move
Ask any wellbeing tool: what happens if the employee does nothing? With Stoa, something happens. It notices the shift and reaches out, weeks before the sick note. Real prevention, not reaction.
Burnout starts in silence. We built Resilient for the silence.
Stoa wrote first. That's the whole point.
For your company
- Fewer sick days and less quiet attrition, caught weeks earlier
- Anonymized team trends, so you act on facts, not feelings
- Works with the wearables your people already wear
- A prevention story you can defend to your CFO and your workers' council
For your people
- A private coach that reaches out first, designed by a psychiatrist
- Their scores, their conversations, theirs forever
- Small, doable recovery steps, not another wellness lecture
- More energy left for the life outside work
And not just for the ones at risk: everyone gets a coach, every day, because prevention only works when it's already there. People use tools that protect them, and real usage is what makes the company picture meaningful. That's the loop.
The organisation gets a thermometer. Never a microscope.
How it works
Reads early signals
Sleep, recovery and daily-life patterns from a wearable, short daily check-ins, and the validated Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure.
Knows the person
The Energy Score brings Body, Mind and Psyche into one honest number that follows the weakest dimension and learns each person's baseline.
Coaches proactively
When the trend turns, Stoa starts the conversation, often before it feels like a problem, and nudges toward professional support when it truly matters.
A gauge for the person. Never a grade for the boss.
Each person sees their own energy in their own app, in calm and clear terms. This is the product's world: light, quiet, theirs.
