What is Active Care?
Active Care is a new movement to give people the keys to health and wellbeing, to better enable them to get active about their own care. It’s about getting better outcomes for every person every time.
Sonder is the first Active Care technology company
We help organisations improve the wellbeing of their people, so they perform at their best. We do this by combining modern technology with a team of healthcare experts. At the touch of a button, your people have 24/7 access to self-help, or they can live chat with a team of safety, medical, and mental health professionals. If in-person support is needed, we act quickly to get someone onsite quickly for time-sensitive scenarios.
Our platform provides robust, anonymised, data-driven insights which give leaders the knowledge they need to act on tomorrow’s wellbeing challenges today.
Higher standards
in health care
Sonder is proud to be the first technology company to achieve accreditation for healthcare support services by ACHS (Australian Council on Healthcare Standards) and our clinicians hold certifications across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. This puts us alongside leading hospitals and healthcare institutions around the world.
Our governance
Sonder’s wellbeing framework guides our Active Care approach. It provide the best outcome for every individual, every time. We aim to guide and empower each person with recommendations, tools and advice - in a proactive, responsive and enduring way.
