Our projects
Projects connected by a shared demand: understand earlier what undermines health, connect knowledge, and build useful, rigorous and responsible responses.
Humanity Science Studio develops projects at the intersection of science, the human, prevention and responsible artificial intelligence.

Clearing the mental fog at work and sustainably improving mental health.
Clearing the mental fog at work and sustainably improving mental health.
Mental health at work has become a major public health, organizational and prevention challenge.
In France, 43% of workers who took sick leave in the past twelve months report that this leave was linked, in whole or in part, to a psychological reason. Several indicators also place France among the European countries most exposed to psychosocial risks: daily pressure, work anxiety, difficulty talking about mental health with one’s employer, and support systems perceived as insufficiently accessible. These situations carry an obvious human cost: lasting fatigue, loss of confidence, isolation, disengagement or difficulty projecting into the future. They also carry a collective cost: absenteeism, disorganization, loss of skills and reduced productivity.
The paradox is that burnout undermines precisely the capacities needed to overcome it: attention, working memory, perspective, prioritization and trust in one’s own judgment. The more fatigue sets in, the harder it becomes to understand what is really weighing on you and to know where to begin. It is to address this need that kairos was designed: an AI-guided clarification tool, specialized in the relationship to work. Where existing solutions often remain separate — general prevention information, HR conversations, medical care, coaching or general-purpose AI — kairos offers a structured space to connect psychological experience, professional context, organizational factors and support needs.
kairos relies on a method, a taxonomy of work experience, guardrails and an orientation logic to help the person understand what they are experiencing without making a diagnosis. Where existing solutions remain centered on improving well-being at work, kairos responds to the need for innovative tools to clarify one’s situation, identify the causes of burnout or misalignment, and explore courses of action adapted to one’s context.
What we want to build
kairos is both a support tool and a learning project.
In the medium term, we want to make it an accessible space for people who need to understand what is at stake in their relationship to work, before or after a period of burnout.
Early observations point toward a systemic reading: difficulties often appear in an imbalance between demands, resources, recovery, clarity of framework, support, recognition and the real possibility of taking action.
In the longer term, the project could contribute to building, with users’ consent and within a strict ethical framework, an anonymized knowledge base on work-related narratives, trajectories and journeys. The ambition is to better detect weak signals, understand tipping factors, and design fairer mechanisms to support people before their situation becomes critical.
Project status
kairos is currently in development, with a first testing phase underway with a restricted group of users.
The project advances through user feedback, exchanges with sophrologists and occupational psychologists, and ongoing work on the method, scientific guardrails, user experience and personalization of the programme.
Next steps aim to consolidate the product, document usage, strengthen partnerships with practitioners and explore experimentation with actors in mental health, work, prevention and professional support.
Collaborate
We are looking to connect with occupational psychologists, physicians, researchers, coaches, therapists, institutions, associations, companies or public actors who wish to better understand and prevent situations of burnout, misalignment or professional disengagement.
Collaborations can take several forms: expert feedback, field experimentation, applied research, ethical support, institutional partnership or building pathways adapted to specific contexts.
kairos is a first project. It opens a way of working: starting from a real need, building with rigor, testing with care, and making technology a support for human discernment.
