The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has partnered up with Agilisys, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) provider, to look at new ways digital technology can safely be put into social care practice to achieve greater productivity and cost savings.
Generative AI models use neural networks to identify the patterns and structures within existing data to generate new and original content. It is hoped the digital innovation will help social care workers to spend more time on critical tasks, delivering personalised care, and less time on administrative tasks.
This collaboration comes as the social care sector continues to face ongoing inflation, demographic change, rising workforce costs, increasing demand for care, and tightening local authority budgets.
AI could help navigate challenges in social care
Kathryn Smith, Chief Executive of SCIE, said: “Thinking differently about social care delivery is necessary to navigating these ongoing challenges. That is why we are delighted to announce our exciting new partnership with Gen AI provider Agilisys.
