What depression costs employers per 100 employees, every year, in lost productivity (European average).
The problem
It shows up as people who are at their desk but running on empty, and most of them have never been diagnosed. Averaged across 13 European markets, in lost productivity alone.
~6 in 100
employees in a higher-educated workforce are likely living with depression at any time (5.9% average)

WakeZ estimate from public data (Eurostat, OECD, IHME/GBD and peer-reviewed studies). Market context, not a WakeZ outcome.
From €21,700 per 100 employees in Romania to €52,300 in Spain and €93,000+ in the Netherlands, Denmark and the UK.
Globally, 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety (WHO/ILO, 2022 (opens in a new tab)).
Classic benefits wait for people to ask for help. Most people don’t, until late.
The solution
WakeZ runs on the iPhone and Apple Watch your people already use. No classes to attend, no daily check-ins to remember. It helps each employee build a consistent, healthy sleep routine and a simple habit of self-reflection — on their own terms.
Sleep Score
A simple 0–100 summary of each night, plus clear sleep information.
Smart Alarm
A gentle wake cue on the Apple Watch inside the wake window, instead of a jolt at a fixed minute.
Self-reflection prompts
Short, optional questions about mood and sleep, for their eyes only. No scores.
Their data, their call
They can send a sleep summary to the partner clinic they’re paired with, when they choose.
A benefit people actually use
It runs in the background, so adoption doesn’t depend on willpower.
Privacy by design
You never see individual sleep or mood data. Employees trust a benefit that doesn’t report on them.
Fast rollout
Available on the App Store; we handle onboarding with your HR team.
A real wellbeing signal to your people
A Class I medical device app built on clinical research, not another step-counting challenge.

02
Onboarding
