AI-driven care: Why Ally is the talk of the media


Over the past month, Ally has been in the media spotlight, featured in prominent outlets such as the BBC, The Times, and The Sunday Times magazine. These accolades highlight the growing recognition of our Resident Monitoring System and its transformative impact on care homes across the UK. 


Their evidence-based AI technology is designed to improve resident safety, enhance team efficiency, and deliver better outcomes for care providers. From reducing falls to improving residents’ sleep and alleviating pressure on carers, Ally is helping care homes deliver more responsive, compassionate care. 


Bringing innovation to night-time care


A key focus of recent media coverage is Ally’s role in a government-funded initiative in Dorset. This project is aimed at enhancing night-time care through the use of AI-powered acoustic and motion monitoring systems. By identifying subtle signs of distress, discomfort, or inactivity, their technology ensures carers can intervene promptly, preventing incidents and improving overall care quality. 


“Our goal is to empower care homes with the tools they need to create safer, more efficient environments for residents and carers alike,” explains Thomas Tredinnick, CEO and Co-Founder of Ally Cares. “The media attention reinforces the importance of what we’re doing—leveraging cutting-edge technology to address real challenges faced by the care sector.” 


Why the media is paying attention


The care sector is under increasing pressure to provide high-quality, person-centred care while managing limited resources. Ally’s Resident Monitoring System is making a tangible difference by: 


  • Improving resident safety: Proactively identifying falls and other incidents to ensure faster interventions. 
  • Enhancing carer efficiency: Reducing routine disturbances, giving carers more time to focus on personalised care. 
  • Driving better outcomes: Supporting residents’ independence and dignity while reducing hospital admissions. 


The media spotlight reflects the growing recognition of Ally’s potential to help care providers meet these challenges. 


Transforming the future of care


Ally’s success lies in their ability to deliver an evidence-based solution that meet the real-world needs of care homes. The recent media coverage has amplified their mission, and they remain committed to partnering with care providers to shape the future of resident care.

 International Recruitment: Research and Updates King's College is carrying out an independent evaluation of the support provided through the IR Fund and the researchers are keen to speak to care providers and international care workers. Reflecting on International Recruitment: Share Your Experience King’s College London has been commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care to conduct an independent national evaluation of the support provided through the International Recruitment Fund 2024–25. This is your opportunity to share your experience. Care Providers The researchers are keen to hear from care providers who have recent experience of international recruitment including direct recruitment from overseas or international workers already in the UK. They are particularly interested in hearing from employers who have sponsored displaced international workers (have had visas revoked). International Care Workers Researchers at King’s College London also want to hear from international care workers who came to the UK but had to find a new employer since arriving in the UK because their original employer had their sponsorship licence revoked. The researchers want to understand the experience of international care workers. This will include: A confidential chat online or by phone (30–45 minutes) International care workers will receive a £20 gift voucher as a thank-you Everything shared is private – individual names and employers will not be identified If you have any questions or you’d like to take part in this research or know and international care worker who might, please contact: Carl Purcell, Policy Research Unit on Health and Social Care Workforce, King’s College London – carl.purcell@kcl.ac.uk

Carbon monoxide poisoning – what do care providers need to know? The Care Association Alliance have asked us to share this important information with our members. ************************************************************************** The best way to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning is the proper installation and maintenance of gas equipment – and carbon monoxide alarms are a useful backup. The recommended approach for care settings is twofold: 1. Care homes must ensure that gas appliances are installed and maintained by a Gas Safe Registered engineer or business. 2. Carbon monoxide alarms are a useful precaution, but they are not a substitute for point 1 above. It’s important that people who use care services and care providers are safe from the risk of harm from carbon monoxide gas. The proper installation and regular maintenance of gas appliances, carried out by a competent person, is the best way to ensure CO safety. Care providers should refer to the Health and Safety Executive’s Safety in the installation and use of gas systems and appliances code of practice, which specifically notes the use of CO alarms as a useful back-up precaution if you have gas appliances in use at your service. Another useful resource is the HSE’S Health and safety in care homes guidance . The Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the HSE have launched a gas safety promotion for care settings: • May 2025 – the CQC set out the recommended approach in its bulletin. • June 2025 – the HSE has included this item on its cross-government group on CO awareness and gas safety.
