HOW DIGITAL CARE PLATFORMS WILL CHANGE FROM 2025 AND BEYOND

In this episode of the Care CEO Success Stories Podcast, Adam James of Springup PR talks with Johan Jardevall, CEO of Person Centred Software (PCS), a digital care management platform.

With more than 25 years of experience in software, Johan has worked with consultancies, systems integrators, and technology vendors in roles ranging from transformation consultancy, design and development management. Johan has a strong track record of achieving rapid growth.

Johan previously worked for global digital consultancy Valtech in the UK where he founded and grew the agency to become recognised within the NMA  top 100 UK digital agencies in just two years.

In this episode, Johan discusses how digital care platforms will change from 2025 and beyond including:

•    How PCS  has helped care providers move from paper-based systems to artificial intelligence as a way of benefiting people in care. 

•    The massive changes to data handling during the Covid pandemic - and how data is now collected and stored.

•    How PCS built an algorithm that could, with high accuracy, predict if someone is likely to have a fall within the next week or so, which then enables the care staff to act upon such alerts .

•    The legal processed that enable PCS to utilise algorithms and the data so that PCS  can bring such features out to the wider market.

•    How using algorithms can identify residents at risk of urinary tract infections, food intake and weight loss and using algorithms to set benchmarks for care providers between their different care homes. 

•    Building standards around data so other software providers can create similar systems  .

•    The ways care staff can be alerted automatically to a risk to a resident by using a handheld device while caring for residents. They can automatically share updates on handovers with colleagues

•    The nine different products PCS provides, including medication management, and wellness and activities.

•    Storing data in a meaningful way with 13.5million keynotes handled through the medication management system.

•    How it is “crucial” that highly-important confidential data is handled and stored securely and the importance of user friendly and uncomplicated systems.

•    How CQC inspections can be managed easier by reducing time managers spend preparing records and reports.

•    The benefit for activities co-ordinators through access to better tools to care for their residents and limiting time spent on administration. 

•   The impending digital social care records transition  which expires in March 2025.
