Its intuitive design drives higher staff confidence and increases the impact of digital adoption, while CoolCare’s user-friendliness is legendary, making it the software of choice for some of the UK’s leading care home operators.

Implementation and support

Workforce management

Smarter staff management = better recruitment and retention. With less work for everyone, smart workforce processes mean improved outcomes, less cost and more time. It’s a no-brainer.

Company information

Health Automated are leaders in artificially intelligent care management systems for health and social care providers. Architecture, our patent-pending system, sets the new benchmark for expected functionalities in a 2024-based social care environment. Our systems have been used by social care providers nationally, where the adoption of architecture has surpassed expected outcomes on performance, efficiency, and cost savings by using our AI-driven tools, such as our AI Auto Rota Management, Advanced AI applications, Lone Worker Safety and Emergency Features, and BICS (our built-in communication system).

Architecture allows full operational management for your business in one application set, saving you time and costs from cross-decking between other services and platforms. There are no key infrastructure requirements to get started, saving the need for heavy hardware investment and time, and organisations can adopt a remote working, or away from the desk, working methodology.

If your organisation is looking to ditch the tech from 2012 and warp into 2024, look at our website and see why architecture is the right fit for your digitisation strategy. Our team are happy to assist with architecture capability sessions to allow you to harness the true power of modern technology.
