Tombot Raises $6.1M Series A to Revolutionize Senior and Mental Health Care with Robotic Companion Animals

Tombot 获得 610 万美元 A 轮融资，利用机器人伴侣动物彻底改变老年人和心理健康护理

Tombot is strategically positioned at the intersection of assistive technology and mental health, targeting an urgent and underserved need:

Tombot 战略性地定位在辅助技术和心理健康领域的交汇处，针对一个紧迫且未被充分满足的需求：

Over 300 million seniors globally suffer from dementia or mild cognitive impairment, and many are unable to care for live pets despite the profound need for companionship.

全球有超过3亿老年人患有痴呆症或轻度认知障碍，许多人尽管对陪伴有深切需求，却无法照顾活体宠物。

Millions of others living with mental health challenges face similar barriers to pet ownership.

数百万其他面临心理健康挑战的人在养宠物方面也遇到了类似的障碍。

Jennie, Tombot’s flagship product, is designed specifically to treat Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD). Developed with clinical experts, patients, and their families—and brought to life with artistic design from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop—Jennie mimics the presence and health benefits of live animal companionship without the risks..

Jennie是Tombot的旗舰产品，专门设计用于治疗痴呆症的行为和心理症状（BPSD）。在临床专家、患者及其家属的共同参与下开发，并由吉姆·汉森的生物工作室赋予艺术设计的生命力，Jennie模拟了真实动物陪伴的存在感和健康益处，且没有相关风险。

Key features include:

主要特点包括：

Responsiveness to touch, voice, movement, and other sensory inputs

对触摸、声音、动作和其他感官输入的响应能力

A fully cleanable, rechargeable design suitable for care environments

An optional caregiver app to customize behavior and reduce caregiver burden

一个可选的护理人员应用程序，用于自定义行为并减轻护理人员的负担。

Jennie is intended for use in private homes, memory care units, assisted living facilities, and other settings where live animals may be impractical or unsafe.

Jennie 旨在用于私人住宅、记忆护理单元、辅助生活设施和其他活体动物可能不切实际或不安全的环境。

The funding round was led by Caduceus Capital Partners, a Nashville-based healthcare investment firm specializing in early-stage digital health innovations. Existing investors also participated.

本轮融资由总部位于纳什维尔的医疗投资公司 Caduceus Capital Partners 领投，该公司专注于早期数字健康创新。现有投资者也参与了此次融资。

“We identified the need for robotic companions years ago and believe the market is now poised for exponential growth,” said Dave Vreeland, Senior Managing Partner at Caduceus. “By 2030, the U.S. alone will have 73 million seniors facing challenges in companionship and chronic disease management—needs that far exceed what human caregivers alone can address.

“我们多年前就发现了对机器人伴侣的需求，并且相信市场现在已经准备好实现指数级增长，”卡杜修斯高级管理合伙人戴夫·弗里兰表示。“到2030年，仅美国就将有7300万老年人面临陪伴和慢性病管理的挑战——这些需求远远超过了人类护理人员单独所能解决的范围。

Tombot is uniquely positioned to lead this new sector.”.

Tombot独处于引领这个新领域的地位。
