Cera Founder & CEO, Dr. Ben Maruthappu, has been named among this year’s Meaningful Business 100 – a global community of leaders combining profit and purpose to drive positive change. The MB100 brings together social entrepreneurs, sustainability innovators and impact investors from around the world, all working to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This recognition reflects Cera’s efforts and impact to date: redefining healthcare, using technology to empower carers and nurses, improving patient outcomes, and building a more sustainable model of care for people and the planet. We’re honoured to see Cera’s prevention-led approach recognised among the world’s most meaningful businesses.
🎉 Celebrating 9 years of transforming health and care 🎉 This week we’re marking a special milestone for Cera – nine incredible years revolutionising health & care and transforming the lives of millions of vulnerable & older people. 🏘️ 🤝 Cera was launched from a simple belief: that care at home could be radically better – and that technology would be key in unlocking its full potential. Over the years, our frontline staff have delivered millions of home visits, using our technology & AI tools to spot health risks earlier, prevent avoidable hospitalisations, and support people to live longer, better lives, in their own homes. 🫶 It means a lot to us to know we are now making a real difference, at scale across the UK – but none of this would be possible without: 💙 Our frontline staff who go above and beyond every day 💙 The families who trust us with their loved ones’ care 💙 Our partners across the sector and beyond, who have helped us shape a better future for health & care See how far we’ve come 👇👇
Congratulations to our Founder & CEO Dr. Ben Maruthappu on being named a Bloomberg New Economy 2025 Catalyst! Ben has been recognised as one of 9 entrepreneurs globally – and the only person from the UK – combining purpose, profit and impact to redefine how we all live, work and think. Health systems everywhere are under strain – ageing populations, rising demand and staff shortages are putting pressure on the people who deliver and rely on care, as well as governments, public finances and health services. We need solutions that are prevention-led, take advantage of the huge advances in technology we’re seeing across other sectors and can be scalable for impact. At Cera, we’re working to make that happen – giving carers and nurses the tools to spot risks earlier, prevent illness, reduce system costs and pressures, and help people live longer, better lives, in their own homes. Thanks to everyone at Cera who has contributed to this success. It’s great to see our vision and hard work recognised.
AI has the potential to transform the workplace – and in care, that potential is already being realised. Our leadership team recently joined Google for an AI workshop – exploring how technology can enhance human connections, like helping us better support our carers or improve the experiences of the people in our care. Bringing together voices from different teams builds the strongest AI products, with colleagues from across care operations, finance, HR and more sharing ideas to push what AI can do in care. Across Cera, 10,000+ carers and nurses already use our AI tools every day – spotting health risks and reducing falls and hospitalisations. Our staff have the skills they need to confidently use our technology, thanks to industry-leading training that starts from day one. Our AI tools improve outcomes for patients and give our teams more time for what matters most: delivering care that keeps people safe and well at home. By empowering our care workforce through technology, we’re building a more sustainable future – for carers, patients and the NHS.
Healthcare doesn’t have to cost the earth. By shifting care from hospital to home, we’re proving that prevention-led healthcare can be good for people and for the planet. As new expert analysis shows, not only have we saved the NHS and Government £1 billion to date – we’re also driving down carbon emissions by preventing health risks and reducing hospitalisations. - Cera's prevention-led model of homecare is 15 times more carbon friendly than hospital care. - By keeping older and vulnerable people safe and well at home, we're saving 3,335 tonnes of CO2 annually, which is the equivalent to 1,700 acres of woodland. Prevention means fewer hospitalisations, falls avoided, billions saved for the NHS and Government...and a greener future.
