Frequently asked questions

  • Traditional EAP solutions are built for short-term, reactive support. They’re hard to access, with phone lines and disconnected entry points that keep utilization low while mental health costs rise.

     

    They also follow one-size-fits-all pathways that don’t reflect the full range of mental and life challenges employees face. And while newer alternatives improve the experience, they do so at a premium – driving EAP costs up faster than impact, especially for large teams.

    That’s why Kyan Health rebuilt the EAP. 

    Kyan replaces the traditional model with a living EAP—one system that guides employees to the right support from the start and adapts care over time. In fact, Kyan Health achieves 10x higher utilization rates compared to traditional EAPs. 


    With Kyan:
    Employees access support through one simple entry point, the app—no phone trees or wait times. Care is guided and continuous, not limited to one-off sessions
    Mental health and life services (like childcare or eldercare) are connected, not fragmented. HR can launch and manage the entire EAP at scale, with one headcount.
     

  • Kyan Health stands out by delivering guided, continuous support through one system, designed to scale without adding complexity or cost. What sets Kyan apart:

    1.) One intelligent entry point that guides employees to the right support from the start

    2.) Stepped care, so support adapts over time instead of stopping after a few sessions

    3.) An advanced EAP scope, covering mental health and life services in one experience.

    4.) Operational simplicity for HR, with the ability to launch and manage the EAP at scale—with only one headcount. 

    5.) Cost control at scale, avoiding the runaway costs common in modern point solutions.

  • Below you can find a few ways Kyan Health ensures high quality and safe care:


    Clinician-led oversight: All care pathways are designed and reviewed under professional clinical governance.


    Verified provider network: All counsellors and coaches are licensed or certified and rigorously vetted before onboarding.

    Safe AI with human escalation: The AI companion operates with strict safety guardrails and escalates employees to human support or crisis resources when needed.
