At Medstars, we're always exploring ways to support your health and wellbeing — not just physically, but mentally too. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce Aria, your AI-powered mental health companion.
Whether you’re navigating stress, feeling low, or just need a moment to reflect, Aria is here for you — anytime, anywhere.
🤔 What is Aria?
Aria is an AI-driven mental health companion that provides personalised, supportive conversations whenever you need them. It’s like having a 24/7 supportive friend in your pocket.
🛠 How does Aria work?
Aria uses advanced artificial intelligence to engage in thoughtful, meaningful conversations. Whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, or just need a sounding board, Aria is here to listen and help.
🧠 How was the AI developed?
Aria was created using state-of-the-art AI models, trained on extensive psychological research. She leverages evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques and draws on real-life therapy interactions (with ethical guidelines in place). While she’s not a replacement for professional therapy, Aria provides trusted support based on best practices in mental well-being.
💡 Is it really confidential?
Absolutely. Privacy is at the heart of Aria.We’re proud to be HIPAA compliant, and we’re working toward SOC2 certification later this year. Here’s how we protect your data:
The only place your transcript data is stored alongside any personally identifiable information (PII) is on your own device.
When your message data reaches our servers, it is completely decoupled from your identity.
We have Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) in place with all of our technology and AI providers — meaning your data can only be used to process your conversations, and nothing else.
You can request a download or deletion of your data at any time.
In short, no one — not even us — can see what you type. You’re always in control.
📅 When can I use it?
Anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s 3 AM or during your lunch break, Aria is always available for you.
Why it matters
Mental wellbeing can be unpredictable — but support shouldn’t be. Aria is here to make it easier to check in with yourself, talk things through, and take small steps toward feeling better.
There’s no pressure. No waiting. No judgement.
Just a compassionate companion who’s always ready to listen.
