Cera Delivers 7.5 Million Winter Home Care Visits, Saving NHS an Estimated £100 Million
Cera, a leading home healthcare provider, has announced the successful delivery of 7.5 million home care visits over the winter period, exceeding the initial target of five million visits. This achievement has resulted in saving the NHS an estimated £100 million.
Utilizing an AI-powered care model, Cera has been able to predict patient deterioration 30 times quicker than traditional methods, leading to more effective care delivery in the home. As a result, hospitalization rates have been reduced by up to 70%, easing the strain on NHS services.
With a capacity equivalent to almost 100 NHS hospitals, Cera has introduced an AI-led care scheduling platform that has increased care visits by 30% in certain regions of England. By optimizing carer travel time between patients, more individuals can receive high-quality care without adding pressure on caregivers.
Dr. Ben Maruthappu, founder and CEO of Cera, commented on the importance of moving healthcare services from hospitals to homes and the significant impact it has on improving patient outcomes. Cera’s innovative solutions continue to address healthcare challenges and support the NHS during critical times.
Earlier this year, Cera also introduced AI technology that predicts falls at home with 83% accuracy, further demonstrating their commitment to delivering advanced and proactive care services.
