Key Findings

The CareTech Map 2026 charts a sector in rapid maturation — 70 companies across 7 functional categories, with growing cross-category overlap.

Care management platforms now span both residential and home care settings, with significant cross-category overlap.

Telecare and monitoring technology is expanding beyond alarms into predictive, AI-assisted intervention.

Patient communication platforms are increasingly bundled with care management systems, blurring category boundaries.

20+ new entrants since 2024 reflect continued VC and strategic investment in social care technology.
