Sentio detects workplace mental-health signal early, handles it under clinical governance, and powers the products people actually talk to: Vivian and Daniel. The intelligence stays out of sight. The care doesn't.
Sentio is the company and platform underneath workplace mental-health products that carry their own names. Employees talk to Vivian or Daniel: warm, confidential, human.
Underneath, Sentio does the sensing: detecting signal early, governing sensitive data, and keeping people safe. The conversation belongs to the brand the person trusts. The intelligence, the governance, and the safety are Sentio's.
By the time HR sees a grievance, the person has been struggling alone for months, the manager has been improvising, and the clinical system has often missed it at least once. Sentio moves detection earlier, to the moment someone first reaches out, and routes the right support to the employee, the manager, and HR, each seeing only what they should.
One platform, three stakeholders. The same conversation supports the employee, equips the manager, and gives HR a defensible aggregate, without any of them seeing what they shouldn't.
Sense distress early, in the person's own words, long before it becomes a grievance or a quiet exit.
Real-time guidance for difficult conversations, grounded in UK employment law and ACAS guidance.
Every clinical surface is gated on sign-off from a registered clinician; a Clinical Director is being appointed to hold that accountability before launch. Safety patterns are conservative by design.
Employers see cohort-level signal and an audit trail, never an identifiable individual.
A mental-health platform earns its place on trust. Sentio is built so that the people who need help are protected, and the people who pay for it never see more than they should.
No individual conversation surfaces to the employer. A minimum cohort size is enforced at the database layer, not as a setting.
Special-category health data is handled under UK GDPR, with a full audit trail, retention controls, and consent management. Your data is stored in the UK; AI processing is carried out by our provider under a UK GDPR data processing agreement, in place before launch.
Conversations are never used to train AI models. They are retained only briefly, for safety and abuse monitoring, then deleted; a zero-data-retention arrangement with our AI provider will be in place before launch.
Nothing clinical-facing reaches production without sign-off from a registered clinician, and high-severity signals page a human in real time.
Sentio doesn't speak to employees directly. It powers human-named, confidential, employer-sponsored products. Each is tuned to who it serves, all on the same governed platform.
Confidential support for women navigating mental health and menopause at work, with manager guidance and an aggregate view for HR.
talktovivian.co.uk →The men's mental-health counterpart to Vivian, on the same platform and the same governance, built for how men actually reach out.
talktodaniel.co.uk →Sentio is built by Sentio Health, the workplace mental-health company spun out of Podium Venture Studio, an AI-native venture studio building companies in UK regulated verticals.
It is led by founder Sanjay Wadhwani, who is assembling a senior team and advisory bench across healthcare, HR, and the legal profession to hold the clinical governance, workplace expertise, and employment-law grounding the platform depends on.
HR and People leaders preparing a response that is actually good, not a procurement-document veneer.
A platform play in UK regulated health, with multiple brand surfaces on shared infrastructure.
Conservative, governed, and built with clinicians accountable for what ships.
We're talking with employers, investors, and clinical partners who can see what we're building. No list, no waitlist, just a direct line to the team.
