This robot aims to make kids feel less lonely |Euronews Tech Talks
Meet Karen Dolva, co-founder and former CEO of the Norwegian tech company No Isolation, helping children with medical conditions attend school.
In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) formally recognised loneliness as a global health threat, carrying serious consequences for people’s health and well-being.
Between 2014 and 2023, an estimated 16 per cent of people reported feeling lonely, equivalent to almost one person in six, with estimated rates of loneliness higher among adolescents, according to a 2025 WHO report.
According to the study, using technology to address isolation and loneliness is a growing area of interest, with online games, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and robotic companionship emerging as potential interventions.
In the final episode of the three-part series on robotics, Euronews Tech Talks explores the role of robotics in reducing loneliness, speaking with Karen Dolva, co-founder and former CEO of the Norwegian company No Isolation.
