The Challenge

1 in 3 employees feel
overwhelmed at work

Chronic stress erodes organisational capacity through absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover. Teams lose focus, emotional regulation and decision-making quality. Despite significant investment in wellbeing programmes, stress‑related costs continue to rise.

41%

Report Daily Stress

Of workforce experiences significant stress at their current job (Gallup State of the Global Workplace 2025).

74%

Remain Untreated

Of people with mental health conditions receive no treatment, with gaps reaching 90% in low-income groups (WHO Mental Health Atlas 2024/2025).

~€20K+

Cost per Disengaged Employee

Lost productivity per stressed, disengaged employee; excludes burnout, so actual costs are higher (Gallup / WHO 2025).

Why Traditional Solutions Often Fall Short

The Effort Gap

Traditional wellbeing interventions (apps, mindfulness courses, talk therapy) require extra cognitive effort from already overloaded brains. This helps explain the persistent gap between the solutions available and the level of real-world engagement.

3%

The Engagement Gap

Wellbeing apps depend on sustained motivation. Despite heavy investment, long-term engagement averages ~3%.

<10%

The Stigma Barrier

EAP utilisation remains single‑digit because it requires opting in to therapy, scheduling and admitting a problem.

~€8T

The Hidden Cost

Gallup estimates that disengagement and workplace stress cost the global economy around $8.9 trillion each year -- roughly 9% of global GDP.

The Solution

The SENSIKS Difference: Neuroscience, Not Effort

The SENSIKS pod works by adjusting the environment through personalised sensory signals and real-time biofeedback. This stimulates the autonomic nervous system and restores balance within minutes. The body responds automatically, producing fast, measurable reductions in stress while supporting recovery.

12 min

Minute Sessions

Instead of asking the brain to “think” itself calm, we use sensory input to signal safety directly to the nervous system. In plaats van de hersenen te vragen zichzelf ‘kalm te denken’, gebruiken we zintuiglijke prikkels om direct veiligheid aan het zenuwstelsel te signaleren. Anstatt das Gehirn zu bitten, sich selbst „ruhig zu denken“, nutzen wir sensorische Reize, um dem Nervensystem direkt Sicherheit zu signalisieren. Au lieu de demander au cerveau de se « calmer par la pensée », nous utilisons des stimulations sensorielles pour signaler directement la sécurité au système nerveux.

Stress Reduction

Synchronised visuals, sound, infrared, scent, airflow, vibration, thermal input and tactile feedback create an immersive sensory environment that overrides stress signals.

90%+

Repeat Usage

The experience is entirely passive. The environment does the work, removing effort barriers for exhausted staff.

The Approach

Personalised sensory signals automatically guide the autonomic nervous system back to balance. Fast. Effortlessly. Measurably.

❌ Traditional Approaches

  • Behavioral: "Try to meditate more, think positive"
  • Pharmacological: "Change your brain chemistry"
  • Apps: "Use discipline to build habits"
→ Ask an overloaded brain to fix itself.

✓ The SENSIKS Approach

  • Driver: Sensory stimulation + real-time biofeedback
  • Automatic: Nervous system responds automatically to coherent signals
  • Measurable: HRV, cortisol, parasympathetic
→ Automatically shifts the body out of stress.
The Process

Zero Effort. Maximum Reset.

A recovery protocol designed for busy, high-pressure workplaces. Employees simply step in, the system takes over and physiology resets through coordinated multisensory stimulation.

Step in
1
Step In

Between meetings or shifts. No app. No effort.

 
Enter the pod and select a programme. The system immediately creates a synchronised multi-sensory environment that helps reset the nervous system as the body shifts into Rest & Repair mode. Heart rate and blood pressure drop, muscles relax, digestion improves and recovery processes activate — supporting resilience, recovery and emotional balance.

 
- Simple choice. Immediate transition.-

Multisensory Reset

Multisensory. Bio-adaptive. Measurable. 

 
The pod's system adapts in real time to each person's physiology and stress level. A coordinated sensory environment promotes parasympathetic activation through bottom-up signalling. Live biometrics guide the AI engine, which continuously adjusts the experience to your needs — deepening relaxation and accelerating recovery beyond single-modality approaches.

 
- Personalised reset. Zero mental effort. -

Return to Work Reset

Calmer. Clearer. Restored.

 
Step out regulated, refocused and reset in just 12 minutes. Employees return more resilient, clear-headed and ready to work effectively — optimising productivity and performance while enhancing quality of work, satisfaction and motivation. Secure session data syncs to dashboards, research platforms or clinical systems, turning recovery moments into measurable, actionable organisational insight.

 
- 12 minutes in. Reset out. -

The Science

Why Multisensory Integration Works

When multiple sensory channels deliver coherent signals simultaneously, the brain's stress-regulation response becomes exponentially more powerful than any single sense alone.

Neuroscience

Superadditive Neural Activation

Coordinated sensory cues signaling safety and calm create stronger neural impact with minimal conscious effort, enabling rapid physiological state shifts that passive single-channel interventions cannot achieve.

AI Personalization

Real-Time Biometric Adaptation

Monitors biovitals such as heart rate, HRV, galvanic skin response and respiratory rate throughout each session, while AI continuously adjusts sensory inputs in real time to optimize stress reduction for each individual’s physiology.

Speed

Minutes, Not Months

Measurable relief in 12 minutes without requiring willpower, training, or conscious effort, addressing the core problem with traditional wellness programs that depend on employee motivation and time.
