Credo in £1.3m round for Cera

The World Health Organisation and take-away delivery business Just Eat also took part in the round, alongside international banks.

The fresh funding will support the launch of the platform and fund research into implementing artificial intelligence technology related to patients' diets and general health.

The platform is intended to reduce the strain on NHS emergency admissions through pre-emptive treatment and to increase the viability of homecare for elderly patients.

Company
Founded in 2015, London-headquartered Cera is an online social care platform that connects patients with care workers. The company's technical team is based in Czech Republic.

The service enables patients or members of their families to book and manage emergency appointments and long-term care plans, as well as review care records. It guarantees home or hospital visits within four hours and is complemented by a smartphone app allowing patients to communicate with carers.
