Impact
Lumino is on a mission to bring better mental health to everyone.
Right now, one in 5 people are experiencing a mental health problem. However, in the UK only one in three has access to treatment. In some parts of the world this is much, much less.
Their goal is to reinvent how mental health treatment is delivered, through developing scalable, evidence-based digital therapeutic programmes. Through this, they want to make better mental health accessible for people across the world.
With their first product, they want to deliver an evidence-based digital intervention that has a measurable improvement on the lives of 10,000 women going through perimenopause.
Get in touch
Lumino are interested in connecting with medium to large size commercial and public sector employers who want to improve the support they offer to staff, in the first instance with a focus on women going through perimenopause. Lumino would particularly welcome opportunities to pilot interventions in development.
Further, Lumino are interested in hearing from angel and seed stage investors with a focus on mental health and social impact.
