The problem is not a lack of data. It’s the lack of connection.
Anyone working in the care and support sector today is often fighting on two fronts: Against time and against bureaucracy.
A 24-hour caregiver writes vital signs on a piece of paper. An agency maintains Excel lists for rotas. A wound manager takes photos with his private cell phone. A doctor waits for a fax. All these players have a common goal – the well-being of the client – but they work in isolated worlds. This fragmentation not only costs money and nerves. It costs the most valuable commodity we have: Time for people.
At CAATS we believe: It is not enough to simply “make old processes digital” (i.e. use PDF instead of paper). We need to rethink the care infrastructure.
The vision: “The Social Health Cloud”
We are not building another island solution. We are building the operating system for the care of tomorrow. Our platform, the Social Health Cloud, is based on a simple but radical idea: interoperability.
This means that data flows securely and seamlessly between all parties involved.
When a wound is scanned via smartphone, the doctor immediately sees the analysis.
When a blood pressure device takes a measurement at home, the value is entered in real time in the care manager’s file.
When an agency plans a rotation, the family knows immediately.
4 pillars for a stable foundation
To make this vision a reality, we have built CAATS on four interlocking technological pillars:
Organization & automation: For 24-hour agencies and homes. We automate the “back end” of care (contracts, billing, matching) so that your head remains free for the “front end” (the people).
AI & precision: Artificial intelligence is not a buzzword, but a tool. Our AI measures wounds with millimeter precision and translates chat messages in real time. This eliminates errors and language barriers.
Mobility & offline first: Care doesn’t take place in the office, but at the bedside, in the living room, often in a dead zone. Our technology must work where people are.
Telecare & networking: We bring medicine into the living room. Bluetooth monitoring and televisits identify risks before they become emergencies.
Why “high-tech” is the key to “high-touch”
It may sound paradoxical: We need more technology to become more human again.
Every minute that a care manager does not spend searching for a piece of paper is a minute gained for their team. Every fear that we take away from a relative through transparent app data strengthens their trust in the care provided.
We use technology (such as FHIR interfaces, cloud sync and AI) to make it invisible in everyday life. So that technology doesn’t get in the way, but clears the way.
Ready for the future (ELGA, ePA & EHDS)
The digital transformation of the healthcare system in Europe is gathering pace. With the electronic patient record (ePA) and the European Health Data Space (EHDS), new standards are coming our way. CAATS is built for this (“future-ready”). Those who rely on our platform today are investing in an infrastructure that will still be setting the pace in 2030.
