Kyan Health

Kyan Health provides an enterprise solution focused on integrating employee well-being with measurable business outcomes. Founded in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2021 by Vlad Gheorghiu, Konstantin Struck, and Ignacio Leonhardt, the company aims to shift corporate mental health from a reactive to a proactive, strategic investment. The founding team's background includes extensive experience in management consulting and entrepreneurship; CEO Vlad Gheorghiu previously led McKinsey's global mental health program, where his personal experiences with burnout highlighted the inadequacy of existing corporate wellness tools. Konstantin Struck is a former Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, and Ignacio Leonhardt is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded Handy.com.

The company operates on a subscription-based business model, targeting enterprise clients. Its client roster includes large multinational corporations like Hitachi Energy, Deutsche Börse Group, and Hilti, as well as high-growth companies. Kyan Health's platform uses predictive analytics to help companies monitor and mitigate risks associated with absenteeism, employee turnover, and presenteeism. At the core of the service is "Kai," an AI-powered care navigator that confidentially guides employees to personalized mental health resources. The platform ensures employee privacy through end-to-end encryption, providing employers with only aggregated, anonymized insights to inform organizational improvements.

The solution offers a blended-care approach, combining digital tools with human expertise. Employees have access to self-care resources, certified coaching, and licensed therapists in over 50 languages. The platform is designed to provide holistic support, from crisis intervention to preventative care and resilience building. For businesses, Kyan Health delivers a dashboard with real-time analytics and predictive insights into team health, allowing leadership to intervene before issues escalate. In November 2024, the company announced $16.7 million in funding, including a $12.7 million Series A round, bringing its total funding to $18.4 million. This capital is intended to fuel global expansion, particularly into the U.S. market, and further enhance its AI-powered predictive care model.
