The problem

Loneliness is an epidemic and a priority public health problem.

1 in 6

Nearly 1 in 6 people globally report feeling lonely, and the rate is higher among adolescents and young adults.

WHO, 2025
871,000

Loneliness was associated with more than 871,000 deaths per year between 2014 and 2019 — about 100 deaths per hour.

Bertelsmann Stiftung, 2024
57%

About 57% of young Europeans (ages 18–35) are moderately or severely lonely.

Bertelsmann Stiftung, 2024
13.4%

The global prevalence of loneliness increased by 13.4% between 2009 and 2024.

NLM, 2025

To address it, WHO calls for national policies, community programmes, measurement, and cross-sector engagement. Umano is built to answer that call — with evidence, tools and partnerships designed for the task.

The Solution

One platform, two layers.

Umano works as a strategic intelligence ecosystem: evidence everyone can use, and a decision tool that turns it into action where it matters most.

Layer 01 · Free, foreverUmano.Commons

The Commons are a public, curated library of loneliness interventions from all over the world, graded for evidence quality, tagged by local context, free for anyone to use. A shared base of case studies, research and user stories.

  • Browsable library of 1,000+ interventions
  • Transparent grading & open taxonomy
  • Citations and outcome data, downloadable
  • Open submission portal for contributors
BUILT FOR · Anyone — councils, academics, charities, journalists. COMING SOON
Layer 02 · Paid platformUmano.Atlas

Working as a stand-alone solution, Umano.Atlas helps commissioners turn evidence into context-aware decisions, by matching interventions to local conditions, forecast impact, build the case and manage implementation.

  • AI Strategy & Program Builder — from local data to plan
  • Stress Test — simulate strategies in a safe environment
  • Funding Navigator — match EU, national & philanthropic streams
  • Partner Management Hub — coordinate delivery & monitor outcomes
BUILT FOR · Councils and ICBs commissioning for loneliness and community resilience. LAUNCHING 2027
The flywheel

It starts with evidence. It ends with lives changed.

Two layers, one wheel. Every turn sharpens the next.

OUR APPROACH TO RESPONSIBLE AI

AI where it adds value. Not where it doesn't.

We want Umano to help as many people as possible, at the lowest cost to governments, beneficiaries and the planet. Every capability is a conscious choice about where AI genuinely creates positive impact — and where simpler, human-led design serves communities better.

Evidence first

AI recommendations are grounded in the Commons — every suggestion is traceable to its sources.

Low-footprint by design

We size models to the task. Most workflows use lightweight reasoning, not always-on generation.

AI in the loop

Strategy decisions stay with elected officials and practitioners. Atlas accelerates judgement, not replaces it.

We use data and technology to be better at learning what works, where, and for whom — and we build it together with the communities who use and benefit from Umano.Atlas.

THE TEAM

A strong, cross-disciplinary team across product, data and service design.

All five of us live outside our home countries. We've felt loneliness firsthand, and we see how it's affecting our friends, colleagues and children. We're determined to change that.
