Our Story.
We founded Hermet from a place of deep personal connection and shared purpose. For over 12 years, our journey together has been defined by Lorena's compassionate work as a mental health nurse and Juan's innovative approach to technology and AI.
Through Lorena's eight years in various healthcare settings, we've witnessed firsthand the quiet loneliness that often shadows our elders. We've seen the light in their eyes when genuine connection breaks through—and the darkness when it's absent.
Meanwhile, Juan's thirteen years in software engineering revealed technology's dual nature: its power to unite but also to isolate. As artificial intelligence advanced, we asked ourselves a crucial question: How can we harness these innovations to nurture human connection rather than replace it?
Hermet was born from this question—a lifelong mission to create technology that serves humanity's deepest needs. We envision a world where our seniors feel the warmth of companionship, where families find peace knowing their loved ones are truly supported, and where technology amplifies our capacity for care rather than diminishing it.
This isn't just a business for us—it's a calling. Every line of code, every design decision, every interaction is guided by our unwavering belief that our elders deserve to age with dignity, joy, and meaningful connection.
