Digital care platform Log My Care has secured £3 million from investor Mercia Ventures to expand its support of the learning disability sector.

This latest investment will further establish Log my Care as a leading supplier to learning disability care providers and help expand its presence in home care.

Sam Hussain, chief executive, said: “By giving carers more time to spend with patients and access to better information, Log my Care helps improve the quality of care for those who need it most. The funding will enable us to continue scaling our business in the UK and extend our positive impact by increasing the number of people supported by our platform from 20,000 to over 100,000.”

Henry Hamilton of Mercia Ventures added: “Care providers are recognising the need to move to digital technology, aided by government incentives. Log my Care really resonates with independent care homes as an easy to use product that improves efficiency at an affordable price. The company has been growing rapidly. This latest investment will enable it to further expand its market share and establish itself as the leading platform for care providers in the field of learning disabilities.”

Log my Care‘s intuitive care management software enables carers to record notes, access medical records and receive prompts and reminders via a mobile app. This helps care managers improve efficiency, care quality and oversight. The platform typically saves carers up to an hour per shift and enables them to create personalised care plans in a third of the time.
