Cera is a London-headquartered provider of home healthcare that combines carers and nurses on the ground with its own software for scheduling, monitoring and predicting health deterioration. It delivers domiciliary care, nursing, telehealth and repeat-prescription services for older and vulnerable people, working with NHS bodies and local authorities, and describes itself as Europe's largest digital-first home healthcare provider. The company was founded in 2016 by Dr Ben Maruthappu, a former NHS doctor who is chief executive, and Marek Sacha. In January 2025 Cera secured a $150 million, largely debt-based funding package to expand its AI-driven care services, taking total capital raised to more than $407 million.
