Cabana was built with measurement in mind. From federal research partnerships to real-world implementation pilots, we are committed to generating rigorous evidence for mental health support across workplaces and high-stress professions. Our research spans foundational federal R&D, real-world deployments, and ongoing evaluation across Cabana Live and Cabana Pods.
Our approach is simple: prove that accessible, human-centered mental health support can work at scale.
Cabana originated through federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs and continues to collaborate with government and academic partners. We are actively building our evidence base through structured pilots, implementation studies, and continuous data analysis across healthcare, government, and employer settings.
Our approach is simple:
Design intentionally.
Deploy responsibly.
Measure rigorously.
