Augmedix employee wellbeing: building resilience in healthcare tech
When a healthcare technology leader like Augmedix decides to invest in its people, it sends a clear signal: sustainable performance starts with mental health. Chum Wellness partnered with Augmedix to design and deliver a corporate mental health programme built around the real pressures of a fast-moving tech environment. The goal was simple and honest, to combat workplace stress, foster resilience, and give employees practical psychological tools they can use every day. This case study looks at what that Augmedix employee wellbeing partnership involved and why it matters for organisations across Bangladesh.
Healthcare technology work often carries tight deadlines, immense responsibility, and continuous cognitive engagement. Left unaddressed, those high-stress factors can lead to burnout and chronic anxiety. Recognising the value of a psychologically safe workplace, Augmedix worked with us to put a structured intervention in place, focused on stress management and mindfulness training rather than one-off, tick-box wellness activity.
What Chum Wellness delivered
Our team of licensed therapists and psychologists led engaging, hands-on corporate counselling sessions tailored to Augmedix teams. Instead of abstract theory, the curriculum focused on skills employees could apply the same week, in real working conditions.
Practical mindfulness techniques
Employees learned how to anchor themselves in the present moment, a simple but powerful way to reset attention during high-pressure sprints and cut through the mental noise that fuels stress.
Emotional regulation
Using cognitive-behavioural strategies, participants practised processing frustration constructively and maintaining clear decision-making, even when the workload spiked.
Work-life harmony
We helped teams establish healthy boundaries between work and personal life, an essential defence against burnout and a foundation for long-term wellbeing.
Inside the sessions
The programme was designed to be immersive and participatory, so employees engaged with the material rather than simply sitting through a lecture. The atmosphere was practical, supportive and honest about the realities of working in a demanding industry.
Preventing burnout in healthcare technology
The pressures Augmedix faces are not unique. Across Bangladesh, high-growth companies in technology, services and manufacturing are recognising that workplace mental health is a business priority, not a soft benefit. A structured EAP or corporate wellness programme can help reduce burnout risk, support employee wellbeing, and create a culture where people feel able to do their best work.
This is exactly where Chum Wellness supports employers. Through our Chum for Business practice, we design mental-health programmes that fit the specific pressures of each organisation, from a full corporate wellness partnership to a confidential Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). Every engagement is grounded in evidence-based practice and delivered by qualified therapists, with outcomes measured in the language that matters most: how people feel, and how sustainably they perform.

Burnout risk in healthcare technology work
Healthcare technology roles combine the focus demands of tech with the responsibility of healthcare. Long, high-concentration shifts, often aligned to overseas time zones, can disrupt sleep and make it hard to recover between workdays.
Building resilience means more than one talk. It means giving people tools they can use during a shift, helping them recognise early signs of exhaustion in themselves and colleagues, and making it safe to ask for help before burnout sets in.
Signs your shift teams may be at risk of burnout
- Sleep problems from long or overnight shifts
- Concentration dipping late in a shift
- Irritability or withdrawal from colleagues
- More errors on high-focus tasks
If several of these sound familiar, a short conversation with our team can help you decide where to start.
How to run a similar programme in your organisation
Every organisation is different, but most successful programmes follow the same simple path:
- Start with what your people need. Share your team size, locations, shift patterns and the pressures you are seeing.
- Choose the right format. A one-off corporate workshop, a year-round wellness programme, an Employee Assistance Programme, or a mix.
- Launch with a pilot if you like. Many companies start with one team and expand once people see the value.
- Review anonymised results. Participation, feedback and themes guide what comes next, without identifying anyone.
