Founded in 2016, Cera Care (or just Cera) is a home care provider that has developed technology to provide high-quality, transparent care to hundreds of service users in the UK and Germany. It aims to enable people to live well in their own homes and communities, and is in that sense working closely with local health professionals such as GPs, nurses and social workers to provide a fully connected service. Through its matching and automated scheduling systems, the company is able to arrange home care within 24 hours, while fully taking into consideration a customer's needs and preferences. Cera has developed preventative Artificial Intelligence technology, called SmartCare, to predict deteriorations in our users' health, permitting earlier intervention and more proactive care. The company has a number of public sector contracts and has partnered with IBM to test the use of sensors in the home to detect changes in needs when carers aren't there.
Select partners: Department for Health and Social Care, IBM, Uber, NHS, Virgin Atlantic.
