Meet Aria: the workplace wellbeing companion from Medstars

Work can be demanding. Pressure builds, sleep slips, and small worries grow when there’s nowhere easy to take them. Most organisations already offer good support, but colleagues often don’t know what’s available or where to start.

Aria is here to help with that.

A companion for everyday wellbeing

Aria is a wellbeing companion that organisations offer to their colleagues. Designed and built with clinicians, it blends trusted, clinician-built resources with smart conversation, so colleagues can talk things through in their own words, any time.

With Aria, colleagues can:

• Take a moment to reflect on how they’re feeling

• Explore practical, evidence-based ideas for managing everyday pressures

• Discover the support their organisation already provides

• Build small, positive habits that make a difference over time

Aria is private, judgement-free and available whenever it’s needed, whether that’s a busy shift or a quiet evening.

Clear about what Aria is, and what it isn’t

Aria is a wellbeing companion, not a therapy or treatment service, and it doesn’t diagnose. When a colleague would benefit from more support, Aria points them to the right place, whether that’s their Employee Assistance Programme, their GP, or other services.

Connected to the support you already offer

Every organisation is different, so we configure Aria around yours. That means bringing your existing benefits into the conversation, such as:

• Employee Assistance Programmes

• Private Medical Insurance

• Health cash plans

• Internal wellbeing and HR resources

Colleagues are guided to the support they already have, often faster, and organisations get more value from the benefits they already invest in.

Private by design

What colleagues share with Aria stays private. Messages aren’t linked to anyone’s identity, so neither their organisation nor the Medstars team can see who said what. The only place a colleague’s conversations and personal details come together is on their own device.

All conversations are encrypted and stored securely in the UK, in line with UK GDPR, and colleagues stay in control of their information.

The insight organisations receive is fully anonymised. Dashboards show trends, such as which resources are being used and how uptake of benefits like your EAP is changing, but never individual messages, names or anything that could identify a colleague.

Trusted across sectors

Aria is used by organisations across the NHS and the private sector, helping colleagues feel supported and helping employers understand the impact of their wellbeing offer.
