Human Centered Technology for one of the most human experiences.

Solace began as a research question, not a company.

During her Master’s in Simulation and Emergent Technologies, Sol’s work focused on how simulation systems shape human experience, not just technically, but emotionally and psychologically.

This led to a deeper question:

What happens when technology intersects with memory, presence, and grief?

Why this work

Rather than being driven by a single defining event, this work is shaped by a long-standing observation:

• Technology has historically been designed for efficiency, scale, and optimisation.

• Human emotional experiences do not follow those rules.

As more people turn to technology for support during vulnerable moments, the need for human-centred, ethically grounded systems becomes critical.

Creating Solace

Solace is being built to explore how technology can support:

• Grief and emotional processing.

• Legacy and memory preservation.

• Continuity of presence.

This work is being approached with:

• Clinical awareness.

• Ethical restraint.

• Deliberate design decisions.

A different approach to technology

Not everything that can be built should be built.

Solace is guided by the belief that:

• Technology should support, not replace human connection.

• Emotional experiences require boundaries, not optimisation.

• Care should be prioritised over engagement.

Today

Solace is in active development, working toward early validation with clinicians and real-world users.

The focus is not speed, but building something that can exist responsibly in one of the most sensitive human spaces.
