Aumio is the ultimate sleep and mindfulness app for children, helping them to grow up healthy, self-confident and less stressed. Hours of mindful stories and playful exercises are available on the app in the form of meditations, audio games, yoga exercises, and bedtime stories as well. Weekly updates and parenting advice are also provided. The child-friendly app is already enjoyed by more than 200,000 families in the DACH region.
Aumio offers tailored content for schools and more than 900 teachers are already incorporating it into their lessons. Content is currently offered in German, English and Ukrainian with plans for a fourth language to be added soon.
The founders met in Silicon Valley and developed the Aumio app together with psychologists and tech experts at Freie Universität Berlin. Supported by leading German health insurance companies like Allianz, TK, and KKH, Aumio's vision is to become the first global mental health platform for the entire family in the next five years.
