Cera

The latest technology shouldn’t be reserved for the most ‘tech-savvy’ in our society. At Cera we have made it our mission to break the cycle of isolation facing millions of older and vulnerable people. We are using preventative technology and AI to keep patients out of hospital and well at home. This reduces the pressure on the NHS—saving the government £millions. But just as importantly, it saves lives and gives thousands of people a better quality of life, empowering them to remain at home, living more independently and surrounded by their loved ones and communities. It’s been humbling to see our social impact recognised with a Tech for Good award at the UK tech awards 2024 last week, and again this week with the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award for our CEO Dr. Ben Maruthappu. We’re so grateful for the recognition and the chance to shine a light on the challenges facing health and social care. 💜 #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #TechforGood #EntrepreneuroftheYear #EOYUK

Wow! What a feeling to have been recognised with the #TechforGood Award at the UK tech awards 2024 last week. 💫 There is no way this would have been possible without the hard work of everyone at Cera.

Hello Barcelona! ☀️   It’s a pleasure to be at the #ISPOREurope2024 Conference in Barcelona this week, with ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research.   Our data science expert Tomáš Heger has been representing Cera at this inspiring event—sharing research on the impact of our Falls Prevention AI.   Using machine learning and AI, not only have we reduced patient falls by 20%, we’ve also pushed new boundaries in predictive analytics and preventative healthcare modelling with our Falls Prevention AI. Our unique, carefully curated dataset has allowed us to create this model, with interventions specifically targeting those most at risk as the population ages.   Falls are the number one cause of hospitalisations in older people, often leading to long-term consequences and even death. We’re so glad our technology is making a difference, preventing life-changing injuries for thousands of older people, and providing peace of mind for relatives and loved ones across the UK.   Thank you #ISPOR for having us! It’s been a really motivating few days. Thanks also to our incredible #datascience team for their insight and vision, which is helping us to improve thousands of lives.   #machinelearning #AI #fallsprevention #healthcareresearch #healthoutcomes #ispor

Wow! We’re humbled and so grateful to share that Cera won #TechforGood at the UK tech awards 2024 last night! 💫 Being part of the UK tech sector is a privilege. Resourcefulness, ingenuity and striving for a better world run deep in the industry’s blood. Even more of a privilege is the chance to apply tech’s problem-solving mindset to the challenges facing #healthandsocialcare—the sector that most needs innovation and change right now. We wanted to say a huge thank you to our incredible team. None of this would have been possible without your talent, dedication and hard work over the past eight years. 🙏 Special thanks also to the category sponsor Heidrick & Struggles, awards sponsor J.P. Morgan and the judges—and a big congratulations to all the incredible companies and people recognised last night. 👏   #AwardWin #HealthTech #TechforGood #NHS #Healthcare #UKTechAwards

It’s #LongevityWeek ⭐️ and this year's theme is '#Prevention: the path to longer, healthier lives'. Here at Cera, our mission is to empower more people to live longer, healthier lives, in their own homes, and prevention is at the heart of how we do this. 💜 Earlier this week, our CEO Dr. Ben Maruthappu was invited to join a panel discussion at The Longevity Forum, on how to build more prevention-led healthcare systems around the world. A big thank you to The Longevity Forum, Jim Mellon, Andrew J Scott and Dafina Grapci-Penney for including us alongside some incredible speakers—Richard Meddings, Hasan Jasem Al Nowais, James Sibley, Penny Dash and Rob Lorenz, M.D., F.A.C.S. 👏 Some of the ways we’re leading the charge in preventative healthcare include: 📈 Reducing patient falls by 20% through our AI-powered technology 💡 Reducing hospitalisations by up to 70% through our predictive tools and automated high-risk alerts system 💊 Partnering with the life sciences industry to advance healthcare research for over-65s Prevention is the future of healthcare, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this 🚀 #LongevityWeek #Prevention #AI #HealthcareSystems #NHS

What role will tech entrepreneurs play in reforming the NHS? From AI booking to virtual reality, mental health training to preventing hospitalisations—experts are increasingly confident that digitisation, AI and innovation will be central to building a healthcare system fit for the future. It was great to see our Founder and CEO Dr. Ben Maruthappu feature in The Times this morning, among the UK’s most notable #HealthTech innovators. Prevention is one of the key areas where technology and AI have a role to play in NHS Reform—but another equally vital area is staff productivity. As Ben tells The Times: “The NHS must seize AI, not for the controversial, big ideas like AI doctors, but for the boring stuff. The NHS is facing record challenges—waiting lists and waiting times at record highs, staff satisfaction and productivity at record lows. We need solutions, and fast. At the same time, we have a new government wanting to take the NHS from analogue to digital. There’s a will to get things done.” https://lnkd.in/eYF-8Eus #Tech #AI #Entrepreneurs #NHS #HealthcareReform #Productivity #Prevention With thanks to Lucy Tobin, Richard Tyler and Times Enterprise Network for including us!

On this Remembrance Day, we’re recognising those who have served in the Armed Forces, including veterans who are now valued members of our team. This day also holds special meaning for many of our older patients, who have recently attended Remembrance parades across the country. As a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, we remain dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. Here are just a few examples of how we will uphold our commitment: ✅ Working closely with the Career Transition Partnership to support the employment of Service leavers. ✅ Providing extensive training programmes for Service leavers seeking a new career in care. ✅ Supporting the employment of Service spouses and partners, providing flexibility during and after deployment. ✅ Creating a welcoming and supportive work environment that values the unique experiences of our Armed Forces community. Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a meaningful career in care, and we are committed to making this possible for those who have served, as well as their families. #RemembranceDay #ArmedForcesCovenant #Veterans #SocialCare #NHS

Last month, we announced the launch of Cera’s technology-powered clinical trials programme—which aims to give over-65s across the UK the chance to benefit from potentially life-changing new treatment options. Today, we’d like to  introduce you to Sheila and Paul, just two of thousands of people who could benefit from our programme. Cera’s clinical trials initiative will use technology to analyse people’s unique health data, making it safer and easier for them to take part in trials which could transform their health and wellbeing. It will also help to advance healthcare research for over-65s, making sure drugs and treatments are more tailored to the people who need them. Thanks so much to Sheila and Paul for sharing their stories. 💜 #clinicaltrials #healthcareresearch #innovation #over65s
