After fourteen years of healthtech innovation at Being Guided we are now introducing a new innovation: Social Care Cloud.

With Social Care Cloud we solve two compelling problems:

1. Reducing bed-blocking by accelerating the journey from hospital discharge to social care.
2. Increasing patient and professional wellbeing by enabling affordable Social Prescribing,

We empower discharge nurses in hospital to connect with carers and patient family members or friends creates a seamless flow from hospital to social care - at home, or in say, a stepdown community or care home facility.

By introducing Social Prescribing we have powerful evidence we have built with the five NHS Trusts in Northern Ireland, where this has led to measurable improvements in the health and wellbeing of both patients and employees.

Investment Justified

At Being Guided we understand that any investment in digital innovations within the NHS must deliver meaningful, measurable value.

So the first step we take with our customers is Mutual Discovery applying Design Thinking¹ and Value Engineering² to result in true value of investing in Social Care Cloud.

During a Mutual Value Discovery we combine Design Thinking and Value Engineering with Vibe Coding which creates a solid foundation to engage all stakeholders, create a robust financial justification and design a Social Care Cloud implementation that works for everyone.

Vibe Coding, introduced by Karpathy in early 2025³, leverages large language models (LLMs) to shift programming from manual coding to conversational AI-driven development, reducing the need but not (yet) eliminating the need for traditional human coders.

Think of Vibe Coding as communicating the essence or 'vibe' of what you want, while AI handles the technical implementation with the No-Code Platform. Rather than coding from scratch, you and we articulate your requirements in plain language.

Proven Technology

At Being Guided, we help the UK NHS, non-profit organisations and creatives to schedule, deliver and report on Social Care and Social Prescribing, delivered by Performers (Artists, Musicians, etc.) for trauma or orthopaedic patients and in-hospital or post-hospital mental health patients.

As illustrated below, this builds on the early adopter success we have had at Being Guided with NHS Trusts, via the Arts Care nonprofit organisation in Northern Ireland and with Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Social Care Cloud is built on a secure AI-powered No-Code Platform that is trusted by the NHS and many organisations worldwide.. The citizen as patient is at the centre of communications. This includes the option to integrate with Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Social Care Case Management Records.

We are enabling the optimisation of:
Right People, Right Process, Right Plan, Right Performer, Right Platform

Social Care Cloud provides a seamless flow from hospital discharge through timely provision and funding of Social Care and Social Prescribing. It enables patients, families, creatives, carers and volunteers to co-create and update a Social Care Plan.

These Social Care Plans can be integrated with Electronic Health Records (EHR) but this is not required for initial implementations. For integration we have extensive experience with combining AI=powered No-Code solutions with EHR systems at the UK NHS or internationally.

The technology allows independent creatives (artists, musicians, etc.) to submit Schedules and generate Invoices for payment for the delivery of Social Prescribing. This includes Schedules in-hospital and post-hospital, at home or in a community environment.

Social Care delivered by agencies, volunteers or family members may be added to an integrated Social Care Plan that will include Social Prescribing.

For creatives, the technology allows for artists and musicians to submit Schedules, Invoices and Reports via simple Forms on desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone devices.

Social Care Cloud comprises:

People
With citizens viewed as Customers, Social Care Cloud is delivered on an AI-powered No-Code Platform. This is putting People first and enabling patients, families and the widest community of nonprofit, creative and community organisations to be at the centre of what matters most: the health and wellbeing of citizens and professionals.

Process
Each Citizen record is updated by patients or nominated family, friends or carers via simple set of Web forms, avoiding the need for software licences and making this highly afforadale at scale. All data is shared through citizen consent, and carefully controlling which stakeholders may edit or view different record field-level content.

Plan
A Social Care Plan integrates a post-hospital Care Package with Social Prescribing, including a Schedule of Performer activities that run in hospital, community or other safe locations. Patients, family, friends, volunteers, careers and creatives (artists, musicians, etc.) can provide appropriate updates to Social Care Plans, via Web Forms on smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop devices.

Performer
A network of Performers can be added to Social Care Cloud, allowing Schedules for Social Prescribing activities to be submitted and approved. When completed, this provides each artist, musician or other Performer to generate and receive Invoices for payment by the appropriate stakeholder as budget holder.

Platform

Platform is built on an AI-powered No-Code Platform for a combination of Professional Users and Citizen Users (patients, families, creatives, carers and volunteers) plus Performers (eg. artists, musicians, etc.). As illustrated above, this enables a broad array of stakeholders, with appropriate permissions, to update Social Care Cloud records.
