“For decades, healthcare has focused on treating people after they become sick – but this approach is costing lives. The future of healthcare is prevention, and partnerships like this are how we'll get there.”

What Dr Ben Maruthappu has said

  • “Physical technology like robotics can drastically expand our capacity to care. Cera's robots boost care teams' capacity by 20%, allowing our hard-working staff to support more people, while saving our local authority partners up to £11,500 annually per patient.”
