Sixty seconds between patients. No phone, no screen.
On the wrist, a Vayu session runs entirely through haptics. A nurse can reset in the corridor between rooms without unlocking anything, leaving the floor, or being seen to take a break. You get a protocol built around your shift pattern and reporting that never touches an individual's health data.
No hardware to buy, no shared device to clean. Runs on personal phones and watches, iOS and Android.
Looking for something to offer patients rather than staff? Vayu for patients.
Built for the floor, not the break room
Most wellbeing programs assume a quiet room and a free half hour. Clinical staff have neither, which is why the licences go unused.
Screen-free on the ward
The session is delivered as haptic pulses on the wrist. No phone out of the pocket, no screen glow at a bedside, nothing that reads as being off-task.
Sixty seconds is enough
Protocols start at one minute, sized for the walk between rooms and the moment after a difficult conversation with a family.
Shaped around the roster
Nights, early starts and rotating shifts get their own cues: a downshift protocol at the end of a night shift, an activation one before it begins.
Patterns, never people
Unit-level participation and aggregate recovery trends only. Individual heart rate, HRV and journal entries stay with the clinician and are never visible to a manager.
A twelve-hour shift, four moments
We draft the protocol with your unit lead, then move the timings to match where participation actually lands in the first fortnight.
Ninety seconds of coherent breathing before handover, so the shift starts from a settled baseline rather than the commute.
Triggered from the wrist in the corridor. Extended exhale to bring heart rate down before the next room.
A longer downshift for after a code, a death, or a hard family conversation. Optional private journal note attached to it.
A sleep-onset protocol for staff coming off nights, run in the car park or at home before bed.
What the data shows so far
Pilot study, N=199, 4 to 6 weeks, under peer review with a medRxiv preprint available. Backed by world-class universities and government institutions. Retention is Vayu product data against a roughly 35% category average. Not a healthcare-specific cohort, which is part of why we are recruiting units to pilot.
By unit and by shift
Participation by unit and by shift, so you can see whether nights are being reached at all.
Aggregate recovery
Aggregate recovery trend across the cohort, minimum group size of ten before anything is shown.
Optional surveys
Optional pre and post burnout and perceived-stress surveys, run anonymously, to sit alongside your existing staff survey.
Bring Vayu to your staff
Most sites start with a single unit, then widen once the first report lands.
One-unit pilot
Up to 25 staff on a single ward or department, free for 30 days. We set it up, run onboarding at handover so it costs no extra time, and report at the end.
Shift protocol
A protocol designed around your rosters: twelve-hour days, night rotations, on-call, theatre lists. Named sessions at named moments, in your staff's language.
Champions on every rotation
A few volunteers per unit, including at least one on nights, get early access and a short briefing to run with their team. Adoption travels through colleagues, not email.
Existing wellbeing budget
Fund it from a staff wellbeing fund, a retention initiative, or through your benefits platform, so it does not need to open a new budget line mid-year.
Privacy and IT review
No device on the ward to manage or clean, and no clinical data in scope. We will sit with your privacy and IT leads and answer the review before you commit.
Codes for family and leavers
Where a site wants it, we can issue discount codes staff pass to partners and family, and keep for a period after they move on. Terms agreed per contract.
What the first 30 days look like
Seats provisioned, protocol drafted with your unit lead, privacy questions answered, comms pack handed over.
Ten minutes at handover on both day and night shifts, champions briefed, first sessions running that day.
Timings moved to where participation actually landed, usually earlier in the shift than anyone predicts.
Participation by shift, aggregate recovery trend, and a recommendation on whether to widen or stop.
A win on both sides of the desk
“I use it before every difficult conversation. Two minutes of box breathing on my watch and I walk in grounded. It's become as automatic as checking my calendar.”
Start with one unit.
Thirty minutes with you and a unit lead. We look at the roster, draft the protocol, and agree what the first month should report back.
