Launched in 2017, Birdie has developed an AI-enabled platform that supports care providers with a suite of digital tools intended to reduce admin costs and makes it easier to manage the care being provided to individuals — doing away with the need for paper-based records, and enabling real-time visibility such as via carer check-ins and medication-related notifications. The solution includes apps and connected devices to track the senior's well-being. The company also develops health analytics technology leveraging the remote sensors, with its algorithms tracking health conditions, predicting issues at risk of worsening and alerting the people in charge in time.

Highlights

  • Solves a real problem: With Birdie, the care community can plan and assess care as well as support its delivery. Caregivers decrease time spent on non-critical work like admin, freeing them up to spend more time face-to-face with their care recipients. It also saves them money and allows carers to more easily communicate and share information with an older person's other care providers, health practitioners, and their families. 🔗
  • Demand is there: The number of people over 65 will double by 2050, and while people are living longer, they are falling sick at the same age. This increases pressure on an already strained care system, in which 25% of the UK's home care providers are on the brink of bankruptcy and local authorities in England will face a £4.4bn funding gap by 2023. Birdie is addressing this crisis with it easy to use software that acts as an operating system for care providers to efficiently deliver more coordinated, personalized and preventative care. 🔗
  • Integrates with existing systems: Organizations that already have a rostering system in place can integrate it with Birdie's care management software solution to help with the day-to-day care planning, delivery and performance of your agency. Birdie integrates with CarePlanner, StaffPlan, Malinko, CareFree and Cold Harbour. 🔗
  • Amazing growth: In May 2021, Birdie's CEO said that the company's growth has been 8x over the past 12 months, as the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated demand for in-home elderly care. 🔗
  • Media love: The company has been covered by many respectable outlets such as Wired, Forbes, The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Daily Express and Evening Standard.
