THE CHALLENGE
UK social care providers are under immense pressure
Adult social care in England is in crisis. Manual processes, fragmented referral pathways, and paper-based audit trails make it nearly impossible to demonstrate CQC compliance, manage workforce capacity, or generate the operational reporting boards and commissioners need.
Delays at the front door cause health deterioration, hospital bed-blocking, and costly crisis escalation — all preventable with earlier intervention. The front door to adult social care is broken. EquiCare™ is built to fix it.
WHAT EQUICARE DOES
An AI platform built around the entire assessment journey
EquiCare™ is designed to digitise, streamline, and intelligently support the adult social care assessment process — from first contact to outcome — while keeping qualified professionals fully in control at every step.
TARGET OUTCOMES
From pilot evidence to national impact
EquiCare™ has been developed and tested in controlled conditions and is now ready for live deployment in real-world Council settings. Before scaling nationally, we are running a structured, NIHR-supported pilot programme — because we believe the best way to demonstrate value in public services is through evidence, not assertion.
The pilot is designed to collect rigorous, real-world data across participating Councils. That data will be assessed using health economics modelling methods to validate the following stretch targets — giving councils, commissioners, and policymakers a transparent, independently evaluable evidence base on which to make decisions.

Social worker intent-to-leave (from 39%)

Reduction in Care Act assessment backlogs

Triage decisions reviewed by qualified staff
These are stretch targets to be validated through pilot evidence. NIHR funding supports the evaluation framework — targets are not pre-validated by NIHR.
BUILT FOR REGULATED ENVIRONMENTS
Governance, compliance, and data protection — by design
EquiCare™ is architected for the specific regulatory demands of UK health and social care.

Data collected across this initial cohort will be used to validate outcome targets through health economics modelling — making early participants genuine co-investigators in a nationally significant evidence base. Following the initial cohort, a modest contribution toward evaluation and deployment costs may apply.
