The NHS is saving more than £1.5m a day thanks to an app which detects when elderly people are getting sick, halving the number of hospital admissions, a new report has found.
The app, developed by home care provider Cera, which delivers 2.5 million home visits a month to high-risk elderly people across the UK has been rolled out to 10,000 of its nurses and carers. During their visits, they log patients’ details, such as blood pressure and heart rate, and the app detects any early signs of sickness.
