Cera's preventative tech and AI are set to save the NHS and government £1 billion per year by 2026, an independent analysis finds.

Cera's founder & CEO Dr Ben Maruthappu tells the Daily Express how preventative tech and AI could save the government billions in health and social care costs.

In just seven years, Cera reached a monumental milestone of delivering 50 million at-home patient visits. To put this into perspective, this is equivalent to delivering a care visit to every person in England. Of the almost 100,000+ care organisations in Europe, Cera is the largest to be digital-first, harnessing technology & AI to redefine the standards of care.

Cera's newly launched training programme will offer comprehensive training and development opportunities to employees who are new to the industry, all the way up to becoming a fully qualified Nursing Associate within 3 years. This will help create a talented and progressive workforce, helping revolutionise the care sector.

Cera has announced the successful delivery of 7.5 million home care visits over the winter period, saving the NHS an estimated £100 million. The figure, which is 2.5 million more than the initial five million visits planned last October, is underpinned by Cera’s AI-powered care model.

Cera launched a new AI platform that matches patients to community care up to 5x faster, helping alleviate NHS winter pressures through quicker patient discharge. The technology also pairs patients with Carers to better suit their needs and reduces average Carer travel time between patients by up to 50%.

The report highlights 10 key recommendations on how the NHS can be saved, with Cera featured as a solution helping solve challenges facing the social care sector.

Cera collaborates with Google Cloud to optimise the company’s data-driven healthcare operations. This collaboration will enable Cera to scale operations and better organise and manage data to drive greater care innovation through leveraging Google Cloud to construct an advanced data mesh.

Cera's Founder Dr Ben Maruthappu, has been announced as Great British Entrepreneur of the Year at The Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards. Recognised annually as one of the most prestigious accolades in the entrepreneurial world, The Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards received over 5,000 applications this year alone. Making the shortlist is an achievement in its own right, underlining the significance of Cera’s win.

A pilot of Cera's revolutionary fall prediction AI platform led to a 20% reduction in falls. The platform takes information about patients logged by carers on a smartphone app and assesses their risk of having a fall. Based on the information, the visiting carer can then ensure the patient is hydrated and that paths to toilets and the kitchen are clear. Predicting falls using artificial intelligence (AI) could help cut the number of falls elderly people are having in their own homes, leading to a reduction in the number of people being admitted to hospital.
