AI is fast becoming a powerful tool in care management, especially in home care and assisted living. Care providers already rank AI as the top emerging trend expected to transform care by 2030. From easing admin work to predicting health issues, AI has real potential to improve outcomes and ease the burden on care teams. At Elate, we're always exploring ways to support care providers and improve the care journey. When used thoughtfully, AI can significantly ease workloads, reduce risks, and help deliver more personalised.
Less Admin, More Time for Care
Care teams spend up to 25% of their day on documentation, contributing to burnout and inefficiencies. AI can streamline rota planning, automate notes through voice-to-text, and even send timely reminders to ensure tasks aren’t missed. By taking on these repetitive tasks, AI frees up time so caregivers can focus on people, not paperwork.
Spotting Risks Early
AI's ability to spot subtle changes in behaviour or health trends makes it a powerful tool for preventing emergencies. In one study, AI helped reduce urinary tract infections by 30% in home care settings by identifying early warning signs. This kind of insight helps care teams respond proactively, not reactively.
Better Communication and Coordination
AI translation tools are helping bridge language barriers between caregivers and support recipients. Meanwhile, automated updates and AI-powered summaries help keep families and care teams informed without increasing admin time. Everyone stays on the same page, improving both care quality and peace of mind.
Truly Personalised Care
AI can analyse patterns from care data to recommend adjustments tailored to each person’s preferences—like optimal times for activities or medication. It can even suggest personalised products, services, or support routines based on similar care profiles, improving comfort and outcomes.
The Elate Perspective
We believe in combining innovation with empathy. As we explore AI integrations in our platform, our focus remains on empowering caregivers while keeping the human connection at the core. Technology should support compassionate care, not replace it.
