Predict
Early Signs of Distress
NeuroCare AI helps care teams notice early indicators of distress and risk, so they can step in sooner and reduce crises for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.
Designed for UK health and social care
Early signs are missed, crises repeat
People often show clear early signs that they are becoming distressed, but current systems are not built to notice these patterns across days and shifts.
The Reality
Support teams are often pulled in only once behaviour has already escalated into self-injury, aggression or emergency call-outs.
Information is scattered in paper notes, handovers and disconnected systems
Patterns of distress and triggers are hard to see and easy to forget
Staff spend time firefighting instead of preventing crises
Families and providers are left asking "could this have been avoided?"
Our Approach
Person-centred decision-support that helps teams notice patterns earlier and take timely, least-restrictive actions.
Built with people with lived experience, families and frontline staff
Designed to reduce restraint, seclusion and emergency responses
All insights are prompts for reflection, not instructions
Final decisions always sit with the care team
Co-produced with people with lived experience
Designed to reduce restrictive practices
Prompts for reflection, not instructions

From observations to early intervention
We start with simple, structured logging that gives immediate value. Over time, we add optional wearables and sensors to provide even earlier indicators of distress and risk.
Capture What Staff Notice
Staff record behaviours, triggers, environment and what helped in under a minute. The system fits around real shifts, not extra paperwork.
Turn Notes into Patterns
Individual logs become timelines and pattern views for each person and the service as a whole, surfacing themes hidden in notebooks.
Higher risk this afternoon
Poor sleep, more pacing than usual. Consider quieter space.
Early-Warning Prompts
The system highlights early indicators of increased distress and prompts staff to pause, reflect and consider proactive support.
Incident Timeline Views
See trends in severity and recovery over time, supporting clinical governance, quality improvement and CQC reviews.
Optional Wearables & Sensors
For some people, optional wearables provide additional information about sleep, movement and physiological stress with full consent.
Built for UK Regulations
Aligns with NHS Long Term Plan, STOMP/STAMP principles and CQC expectations for safer, more proactive care.
Our standards are higher, not lower
Working with people who are often marginalised and over-scrutinised means our ethics and safety standards must protect people, support staff and reassure families, regulators and commissioners.
Human-in-the-loop
All alerts are prompts for reflection, not instructions. Staff remain responsible for decisions and follow existing safeguarding pathways.
Least-restrictive & trauma-informed
The system is designed to reduce restrictive practices and crisis responses, not to justify them.
No diagnosis, no clinical authority
NeuroCare AI does not diagnose, assess capacity, or recommend medication or restraint.
Consent and choice
Wearables and sensors are optional, consent-based and can be withdrawn at any time. People can still use the core platform without devices.
Data protection
We follow UK GDPR and NHS digital guidance. Data is minimised, encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based and auditable.
Transparency
Alerts and insights come with simple explanations of what patterns were seen so staff can understand and, if necessary, challenge them.
Important boundary
NeuroCare AI supports, but never replaces, professional judgement, safeguarding processes or person-centred care planning. It does not diagnose, does not recommend medication or restraint, and must never be used as the sole reason to restrict someone's rights or freedom.
Our Story
NeuroCare AI was founded by Ruth and Ellen who have worked both as data scientists and as support workers in UK services for people with learning disabilities and autism. We have seen, first-hand, how often early signs of distress are spotted but not joined up, leading to repeated crises for people we care about.
We are building NeuroCare AI to change that - not by replacing human care, but by giving teams better tools to notice patterns, act earlier and reduce harm. Our work is co-produced with people with lived experience, families and frontline staff, and grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed practice.
Built for providers, aligned with regulators
NeuroCare AI is designed to fit the realities of UK health and social care, supporting providers to evidence safer, more proactive care.
What providers can expect
Reduce incidents
Helps reduce the number and severity of behavioural incidents and emergency call-outs.
Earlier responses
Supports earlier, calmer responses that reduce the need for restrictive practices and PRN medication.
Better visibility
Gives managers better visibility of patterns, supporting clinical governance and quality improvement.
Less paperwork
Reduces time spent on paperwork through structured logs and automated summaries.
Policy and regulatory alignment
NHS Long Term Plan
Supports the goal of reducing preventable health inequalities for people with a learning disability and autistic people by enabling earlier, data-informed intervention.
STOMP/STAMP
Offers an alternative way to understand and respond to distress, helping services safely reduce over-medication and use of restrictive practices.
CQC 'Safe' and 'Well-led'
Provides clear, auditable evidence that providers are identifying patterns, learning from incidents and acting proactively.
Digital social care records
Designed to sit alongside and, where possible, integrate with existing digital care systems rather than replace them.
