Overview

• Cera says its app, used by about 10,000 carers and nurses, logs observations during roughly 2.5 million monthly home visits to flag high-risk patients up to a week in advance.
• Faculty’s analysis attributes more than £1bn in cumulative savings since 2023 and over £1.5m saved each day through reduced admissions, A&E attendances, ambulance call-outs and residential referrals.
• Hugh Neylan of Faculty says predictive analytics with low-cost interventions halve hospitalisations for older and vulnerable people.
• Cera reports more than 80% short‑term prediction accuracy, with safeguards reliant on trained staff and operational oversight.
• Analysts and company leaders point to outdated IT, skills gaps and funding models that reward time and volume as key barriers to wider rollout, even as NHS services face record waiting lists and bed pressures.
