BBC South Shines Spotlight on Ally’s Role in the Future of AI in Care
Ally Cares was recently featured on BBC South Today as part of an important segment examining the role of artificial intelligence in the future of social care.
The report highlighted the increasing adoption of AI-driven solutions across the care sector, including Ally’s Resident Monitoring System, which is already transforming night-time care in homes like Oaklands Rest Home in Hampshire.
Nicola Ray, Registered Manager at Oaklands, shared how Ally has helped her team deliver faster, safer responses at night. In the broadcast, she explains:
“Somebody in the past who may have had a fall – they could fall at 1:15 and we wouldn’t do a round until 2 o’clock, so they’ve had an hour and three-quarters lying on the floor. Whereas with Ally, if somebody makes a noise because they’ve fallen or we hear them topple, it tells us instantly. So we’re there – giving the personal touch, giving the time that we need.”
Ally works by alerting staff when residents are at risk or in need – eliminating unnecessary disruption from routine night checks and freeing up carers to respond where and when they’re most needed.
This national coverage underscores how digital tools like Ally can complement human care rather than replacing. The result is that residents are safer, sleep more soundly, and receive faster support during the night.
The story also recognised broader innovations, emphasising that AI must support, not substitute the people delivering care.
Thomas Tredinnick, CEO and founder of Ally Cares, reflected:
“It’s never been about removing the human touch – it’s about giving care teams the confidence and insight to act earlier and more effectively. Seeing that play out at Oaklands, and to have it recognised by the BBC, is a proud moment for everyone at Ally.”
