Walkingonearth

Walking on Earth, which operates as WONE, provides a workplace stress intelligence platform intended to make employee stress measurable and to link it to business outcomes. Its central product is the WONE Index, described by the company as a validated, continuous measure of stress resilience that combines psychological and physiological signals into a single score and tracks it over time, surfacing rising risk before performance declines. The company states the Index is peer-reviewed and published in JMIR and that it outperforms established resilience tools in detecting burnout and anxiety.

The platform pairs the Index with Ori, an AI performance coach available continuously and trained on the company's expert-led resilience science, which converts signal changes into personalised recommendations and short recovery interventions delivered during the working day. Users can also access live and on-demand sessions across mind, movement and behaviour hosted by specialists, developed alongside experts associated with Stanford, Oxford, Harvard and the Mayo Clinic. Connecting a wearable updates the Index in real time, and calendar and wearable integrations drive proactive nudges.

For employers, executive dashboards connect resilience trends to retention, productivity and health spend while preserving individual privacy. Earlier iterations of the service, described at launch in 2021, assessed an individual's stress level, matched them to certified health and wellbeing practitioners, and built a tailored stress reduction programme of live group classes, one-to-one sessions, curated talks and science-backed content.

Founding story

Reeva Misra founded the company in February 2020, immediately before the COVID-19 pandemic. A former VP of Strategy at BenevolentAI and a certified Jivamukti yoga teacher, she combined a background in technology-enabled healthcare with holistic health practices she attributes to growing up in an Indian family. She has said she created the company because society had normalised dangerous levels of workplace stress and because chronic, lifestyle-driven disease can only be prevented by changing habits. An early challenge was managing pandemic-era uncertainty for both the company and its enterprise target customers.

Business model

WONE sells its stress intelligence platform to employers, which make the app and expert-led programmes available to their workforces, while executive dashboards give the buying organisation aggregated resilience trends linked to retention, productivity and health spend, with individual privacy preserved. Early beta pilots converted into full-time contracts with all participating companies.

Traction

During its beta phase the company reported high engagement and wellbeing improvements that converted all pilot companies into full-time contracts. Company research cited in January 2025 reported 74% of users experiencing reduced stress levels and 90% reporting a positive impact on productivity. The Android app has surpassed 1,000 downloads, and the company states clients see a 5x return.

Latest developments

The WONE Android app, which surfaces the WONE Index, the Ori AI coach, personalised recommendations, expert-led live and on-demand sessions, and wearable and calendar integrations, was updated in August 2026 and has recorded more than 1,000 downloads on Google Play. The company's website positions WONE as a stress intelligence platform and states clients see a 5x return.
