What happens when a care provider builds their own AI – not in a lab, but in the real world of rotas, staff sickness, and visit chaos?
In this episode of AI in Social Care, I speak with Jonathan McFarlane, founder of Oran Care and now the creator of carevisits.AI – a new solution designed to help home care services tackle one of their biggest operational headaches: coordination.
Jonathan shares his journey from music therapy and dementia care to building tech tools. Now, with a sharp focus on visit planning and routing, his team is developing AI to solve the kind of problems that only someone who’s been in the trenches would recognise.
– Why care coordination is more complex than people think
– Why the user decides how to measure success
– How to approach optimising systems (way before getting AI involved)
– Why experience in care matters more than clever code
If you’ve ever felt the pain of last-minute rota changes, weekend on-call stress, or trying to make sense of three systems that don’t talk to each other, this one’s for you.
