Episode Details

The UK’s social care system is on the brink of a radical transformation, with the new Prime Minister calling it “broken” and demanding a smarter, tech-driven overhaul. Instead of just throwing money at the problem, the government is pushing for early intervention, tighter NHS integration, and better pay for care workers. At the heart of this shift is Cera, founded by Ben Maruthappu, which uses AI to predict health declines before emergencies strike — already preventing over 700 hospital admissions in two years in Hammersmith and Fulham. With AI robots helping with medication and loneliness, the vision is clear: turn social care from reactive to proactive, slashing hospital overcrowding and making free home care a nationwide reality — powered by technology that generates its own savings.
