Thomas is the CEO of Ally Cares, the UK’s leading resident acoustic monitoring system used by care homes to deliver safer care to thousands of residents, whilst also freeing up significant staff time. An aerospace engineer by background, he founded the company off the back of seeing just how hard it is for staff in care homes to know when to provide the right care to residents alone in their rooms. Ally Cares was created to solve this by using sensors and AI to monitor residents alone in their rooms. The system then instantly alerts staff when they require care, thereby ensuring each resident gets assistance the moment they need it whilst enabling staff to reduce the frequency of their time-consuming regular checks that often wake up sleeping residents. Thomas is proud to say that a study with NHS Digital showed Ally helped care homes reduce resident falls by ~55% and hospital admissions by ~20%, all whilst freeing up~40% of staff time.
