How does Cari work?

Visit www.cariwellbeing.co.uk for more information about the science behind Cari and a case study involving Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust.

To develop AI wellbeing consultant Cari, Maria used her specialist background in biology and psychology alongside her understanding of how to actively stimulate the brains neurochemistry to promote positive mental health.

Championing individuals to take control of their wellbeing by providing logical, unbiased and bespoke support through AI-enabled personalised surveys that are fully GDPR compliant; Cari is the only engagement survey to measure both cognitive and emotional responses, providing an outstanding accuracy rate of an individual’s well- being of 92%.

Seeing beyond a brave face, Cari determines subtle nuances often hidden to humans, providing individuals with the tools to better understand their relationship with mental health, while managing stress and anxiety. Using intelligent algorithms to ethically analyse mental health, Cari gives perfectly timed recommendations.

Wellbeing-boosting suggestions include Maria’s proven BENDs, or ‘brief emotional non-verbal displays’ - simple 2-minute exercises that provide an instant lift to your wellbeing whenever and wherever you need it. Scientifical- ly proven to stimulate the brain’s neurochemistry with posture and physical movement, BENDs are designed to provide individuals with an immediate empowering lift to their mental state, as well as being fun - #BendWithCari is easy and quick to do.

Cari offers a supportive environment where stress is channelled into positive action - unlocking high performance and increased productivity in the workplace by improving happiness and the ability to control and cope with daily challenges. Complementing existing wellbeing systems, Cari can actually help to boost their effectiveness 10-fold, providing individuals with tailored support on a mass scale.

With a real duty of care the support doesn’t stop there, with those who may need extra support also being empowered to access evidence based 1 to 1 NeuChem Coaching through their free access to Cari.

Maria added: “Cari is the tech manifestation of our company purpose, which is simply to bring joy to life. There- fore, it is our duty to bring happiness to those who need it most during the crisis – spreading joy to our workforce and subsequently creating more positivity for our country.”

A Director of Transformation, HR and Organisational Development at a South East-based Unitary Local Authority said: “We implemented Cari because we recognised that it was better to have useful insights, rather than remaining ignorant when it comes to

mental health and wellbeing in our organisation. It’s so important to have data about your workforce so you can act upon it to improve performance and reduce the risk of litigious issues.

“Cari enables us to offer genuine holistic and personalised support to every- one. But also gives the additional, powerful benefit of encouraging our staff to take their wellbeing seriously. They now feel more responsible for looking after their own mental health.”
