Devika Wood and Naushard Jabir, 27 & 32<\/strong>
\nCompany: <\/strong>Vida
\nWeb: <\/strong>www.vida.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

“The care industry in the UK is in crisis”; care homes are closing down and the care-at-home sector is highly fragmented with more than 8,500 care agencies monopolising particular geographies and a lack of profit caps resulting in expensive but poor-quality care.<\/p>\n

And it’s not just the clients that suffer: many agencies pay their carers well below the London minimum wage when taking into account travel time.<\/p>\n

Enter Vida; the end-to-end, personalised and scalable care technology platform “aiming to redefine the care industry in the UK and internationally”.<\/p>\n

The company invests in high-quality carers and provides personalised in-home care for clients across London and Sussex at a flat rate of £16 an hour.<\/p>\n

The company was founded by Naushard Jabir and Devika Wood in 2016. For Wood, the company is a very personal project, having cared and lived with her grandmother – who suffered from dementia and epilepsy – at the age of just 10 and seeing her receive more than 150 carers over 10 years. After such a poor experience, she was determined to improve the industry for carers and clients.<\/p>\n

All of Vida’s carers go through an enhanced DBS and relevant background checks, in-person interviews, an entrance exam, advanced training, background checks and certifications to ensure they are of able to provide the highest standard of care.<\/p>\n

In addition, Vida’s CQC-approved technology platform provides real-time monitoring, improves communication and transparency, and captures vital health data to ensure a positive outcome for the patient through its dashboard, carer app and client app.<\/p>\n

Wood and Jabir’s and their team of 24 are putting care back into the care industry and we’re looking forward to watching it grow.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
