-- In a bold move to redefine digital mental health and wellbeing support, Sacana Ltd., a healthtech micro-entity headquartered at Stirling University Innovation Park, has launched a groundbreaking platform offering real-time, human-led emotional support through secure video calls. Designed to combat loneliness and social isolation, the service connects users with trained professionals, known as “matrons,” who are available 24/7 to listen, support, and guide.
Unlike AI-driven wellness apps, Sacana prioritises genuine human connection. Its unique model delivers preventative mental health and wellbeing care by enabling early, structured conversations that reduce emotional strain before it escalates into clinical concerns—ultimately easing pressure on public health systems and improving quality of life for users.
"People are tired of talking to bots. They want to feel heard, and they need real empathy," said Luigi Koechlin, Director of Sacana Ltd. "Our mission is simple but urgent: restore and maintain meaningful human connection in an increasingly digital, isolated world."
Accessible, Flexible, and Scalable
Sacana’s platform is open to individuals and organisations alike—no diagnosis, referral, or onboarding complexity required. Whether it’s a corporate wellbeing support program, NHS innovation partnership, or personal care support for older adults and working carers, Sacana offers a flexible, confidential solution that scales to suit diverse needs.
With a growing demand for mental health and wellbeing support that is both compassionate and accessible, Sacana's model stands out for its human-first approach—blending digital convenience with the emotional intelligence that only real people can provide.
As the UK—and the world—faces increasing rates of emotional distress, particularly among carers, isolated individuals, and employees managing high stress, Sacana presents an innovative yet grounded response. It's not just about treating loneliness—it's about preventing it before it becomes a deeper crisis.
