The AI app that is helping cut NHS hospital admissions by half
- An app developed by home care provider Cera is saving the NHS over £1.5m a day by detecting early signs of illness in elderly people.
- The technology has halved hospital admissions and reduced costly residential care referrals and ambulance call-outs for high-risk over-65s.
- Nurses and carers use the app during home visits to log patient data, such as blood pressure and heart rate, enabling early intervention like GP consultations.
