Cera, the UK\u2019s largest HealthTech home care provider<\/a>, has announced that its AI-backed social care model has saved the NHS and government over \u00a31bn to date, according to a new analysis.<\/p>\n The preventative care model leverages AI to reduce avoidable hospital admissions, cut emergency attendances and ambulance call-outs, and prevent costly referrals into residential care. <\/p>\n Data science company Faculty\u2019s analysis has shown that Cera now saves more than \u00a31.5m daily, contributing significantly to easing pressures on the NHS, which has faced record levels of bed occupancy and year-round corridor care crises.<\/p>\n Cera\u2019s 10,000 carers and nurses deliver around 2.5m home healthcare visits per month.<\/p>\n Each visit logs patient observations digitally, feeding AI tools such as the falls prevention AI and hospitalisation predict-prevent tool. <\/p>\n These tools flag high-risk patients, allowing early interventions in the community \u2013 such as GP escalations or pharmacy support \u2013 before conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n Impact on NHS and public services<\/p>\n Dr Ben Maruthappu, Cera\u2019s founder and chief executive, said: \u201cThese figures show social care\u2019s potential to act as the frontline of prevention for high-risk over-65s, easing NHS pressures at a time when the health service is stretched to breaking point\u201d.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tRead more<\/p>\n \t\t\t\u00a31bn AI home care savings spotlight urgent need for public sector tech reform<\/a><\/p>\n He noted that this could prevent \u201cas many as one million of these hospitalisations each year.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cInvesting more in AI-driven care can also help to accelerate hospital discharges \u2013 freeing up beds by arranging faster, safer care at home, where patient recovery can be carefully monitored and reported back to the local authority,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n Hugh Neylan, head of health at the Faculty, stated: \u201cCera\u2019s predictive analytics and low-cost interventions halve hospitalisations, giving older and vulnerable people greater independence while delivering substantial savings for the public purse\u201d.<\/p>\n
