Lifted Raises £1.5M to Revolutionize Elderly Care with Tech-Enabled Platform
Lifted, a UK-based startup, has raised £1.5 million in seed funding to develop its end-to-end elderly care platform
Founded by Rachael Crook and Sam Cohen, Lifted aims to address the shortcomings in the current elderly care market by providing a transparent, high-quality service with real-time updates and data-driven insights
Lifted directly employs its carers and pays the London Living Wage, which is 20% above the market average for hourly care
The company plans to expand its service offering by combining professional care and in-home technology, including health alerts, in-home sensors, and AI-based analytics.
ProblemHealthcare
"The UK's elderly care market is broken. It's hard to find reliable care providers, care is often expensive, and carers don't have good working conditions. Families are struggling to find quality care for their loved ones, and often have to take time off work to provide care themselves. Current technology solutions are limited, with most care providers relying on paper records."
Solution
"Lifted is building an end-to-end elderly care platform that uses technology and data to improve the quality of care and make it more accessible. They offer real-time updates on care, wellness data, and a care management platform to schedule visits and track tasks. Lifted employs its carers directly and pays the London Living Wage, providing better working conditions and a more reliable service. "
