No Isolation: Fight against social isolation through innovative technology
editAbout the Company
editNo Isolation, founded in 2015 by Karen Dolva, is a Norwegian company with the central goal of combating social isolation and loneliness in our society. The inspiration for the company came from meeting a woman whose daughter was separated from her school and social environment due to a cancer illness and suffered from severe loneliness.
Key Products and Services
editNo Isolation has developed two main products aimed at enabling social connection for people in various life situations:
-
AV1: A telepresence robot that allows children and young people with long-term illnesses or social limitations to participate in classes via a live stream app, thus not leaving their class community. The AV1 is in use in 17 countries worldwide and helps over 3,000 students participate in school life[1][2][3].
-
Komp: A one-button device specifically designed for seniors to connect generations and reduce social isolation. This device was developed in close collaboration with the Norwegian Cancer Society[1].
Main Mission and Values
editThe mission of No Isolation is to improve the well-being and social integration of people in various life situations through the development of "warm technology" – technologies specifically designed to support people in their social isolation. The company places great importance on transparency, innovation, and the diversity of its employees. It strives to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or other characteristics[2].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editNo Isolation works closely with over 600 renowned charities, government organizations, universities, schools, and hospitals to achieve its goals. The company is committed to supporting the development of language and social skills for children and young people who cannot participate in regular school life due to illnesses or other limitations. By utilizing the AV1 robots, it ensures that these students not only keep up with the curriculum but also do not miss important social and formative moments in school life[1][2][3].

The company values flexible working hours, an employee stock program, company pension plans, and regular company-wide celebrations. The employees are characterized by their self-determination, kindness, and sense of responsibility, working closely together to promote the success of the company[2].
