Yuman

Facilitating the care of the future with autonomous nurse companions.

We develop innovative robots to assist nurses as their own transport buddies by facilitating the transport of food, laundry and medical products in hospital wards. Our robots will make more time and care for patients, improve nurses satisfaction and combat nurse burnout.

Let's talk

The biggest issues facing the future of healthcare

Why do nurses need transport buddies?

Fewer hands & 4x Activity Growth

Globally, there is an all-time high shortage of nurses, and in Denmark alone since 2001, the activity growth in hospitals is 4 times the increase of nurses. The latest numbers of elderly show that in Denmark, up to 2030 there will be a 29% shortage of resources.

In a year, the time spent in routine tasks in a Danish hospital is equivalent to ca. 365 full-time nurses.

77% of nurses solve non-nursing tasks during a normal working day

According to Dansk Sygeplejeråd, nurses who solve non-nursing work tasks more often experience a lot of pressure and stress.

36.9% of a nurse's working day is spent on routine activities: food, medicine and laundry transport

Surveying 22 nurses from the Neurological Department of Bispebjerg Hospital in June 2021, we found that nurses spend only 40.1% of their time with the patient.

Our Solution

Probably The Best Software and Design!

Hospital focused design: We place the nurses at the center of our solution. We design and build our mobile robots from the ground up, in collaboration with hospitals and nurses.
Plug-and-play: Easy to integrate with the hospital infrastucture without the need for training courses.
Human-friendly: We are addressing robotics from a fresh and innovative perspective, designing our robots to solve real problems and can potentially help improve everyone's lives.
Safe: Our robots are designed and programmed to ensure the highest safety standards required to navigate around people.

Our Team

The Minds Behind Yuman

We are an ambitious Copenhagen-based robotics startup addressing one of the major challenges facing healthcare - the shortage of nurses.

Andrei and Sara founded Yuman as part of their MSc Thesis in June 2021 with the goal of introducing human-friendly hospital robots.

We believe that the secret to the ultimate robotic solution lies in a combination of good software and design. In March 2022, Tilia, Industrial Designer with a pasion for robotics joined our team. Together we are on a mission to develop innovative and unique robots to assist nurses by automating transportation activities in hospital wards.
