Personalised, not conversational
Texts are tailored through an optional intake, but nurses are not expected to chat back.
Concept-stage pilot demo
Private, personalised SMS support for nurses
Steddly sends three one-way supportive texts per week, personalised through an optional private intake. Built first for early-career and new-grad nurses.
No app. No appointment. No live chat. No employer access to individual answers.
Read privacy boundariesEmployers only receive anonymous group-level reporting — never individual intake answers, phone numbers, or named responses.
Steddly is personalised, but not conversational.
Steddly is not therapy, diagnosis, live chat, or crisis counselling.

Steddly
private one-way SMS
Kia ora Maya — long shift? Before you head home, let your shoulders drop and breathe out slowly.
New nurse pressure is real. Ask the question, double-check, and choose safe over silent.
Recovery still counts: water, food, shower, rest, then let the shift stop where it can.
Private by design
Built for careful researcher, advisor, and pilot-partner conversations rather than inflated launch messaging.

Research context
Why Steddly starts with targeted nurse support
A 2025 Aotearoa New Zealand study of 361 nurses examined burnout, stress, wellbeing, and workplace challenges after COVID-19. The findings point toward targeted support for higher-risk nurse groups — especially younger nurses, nurses in high-intensity settings, and nurses working irregular or rotating shifts.
Local nursing sample
A local study examined burnout, stress, wellbeing, and workplace challenges among nurses in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Rotating shifts matter
Rotating-shift nurses showed higher depersonalisation than day-shift nurses.
Not one-size-fits-all
The study highlighted younger nurses in high-intensity and irregular-shift environments as a group needing more targeted support.

Read the Nursing Praxis articleWhat Steddly is
A low-friction support layer for nurses who do not want another platform
The concept is deliberately simple: private SMS support, light personalisation, careful boundaries, and no expectation of an ongoing chat.
For nurses
- Three one-way supportive texts per week
- Optional private intake to shape message timing, tone, and themes
- Optional private feedback link every 3–4 weeks during a pilot
For organisations
- Voluntary sign-up via private link or QR code
- Anonymous group-level reporting only
- Designed to complement workplace support, not replace safe staffing
How it works
How the concept would work in practice
Private sign-up
Nurse joins through a private pilot link or QR code.
Required setup
Mobile number, consent, privacy acknowledgement, and STOP opt-out acknowledgement.
Optional intake
Six short questions make the support feel more relevant without turning it into a chat product.
One-way SMS support
Three supportive texts per week, plus occasional optional pilot feedback links.
Pilot lens
Designed for feasibility and acceptability, not inflated outcome claims
The first pilot should ask careful questions: does private one-way SMS support feel useful, relevant, low-friction, and trustworthy for early-career nurses?
- Feasibility
- Acceptability
- Relevance
- Privacy comfort
- Engagement
- Perceived usefulness
What Steddly is not
Clear limits before any pilot conversation
Steddly is designed as a low-friction support layer. It is not therapy, diagnosis, live chat, crisis counselling, clinical treatment, employee monitoring, or a replacement for safe staffing and proper workplace support.
