CareTech Intelligence
The UK care technology
sector, mapped.
Care is being rebuilt on software — rostering, eMAR, care planning, sensors, compliance. We represent the companies building it and the providers buying it, so we keep a running map of the whole market: who does what, and where each platform sits.
Why we keep it
The CareTech Index is the always-on layer beneath our CareTech Power List — maintained because reputation in this market is precisely what we do.
Bridgehead advises across social care, healthcare and the technology in between. When a care-tech founder needs to launch a category, announce a raise or engage policymakers — or when a care group needs communications that understand the sector — they come to us because we already know the players.
Many platforms straddle multiple categories: a care management system that also handles compliance, a telecare platform that doubles as a family communication tool. The coloured tags on each profile show where a platform's functions reach — solid for primary, outlined for secondary.
