CareTech Map 2026

Overview

Mapping the Digital Infrastructure of Modern Social Care.

The CareTech landscape continues to evolve at pace, as providers increasingly turn to digital tools to enhance care delivery, streamline operations, and improve outcomes for residents and their families.

Building on previous editions, the CareTech Map 2026 charts the growing ecosystem of technology providers supporting the adult social care sector, from care management platforms and remote monitoring tools to compliance systems, care matching services, and family engagement solutions.

Our latest sector map provides a visual snapshot of the organisations developing and deploying technology across key areas of care provision, helping operators, commissioners, policymakers, and investors better understand the breadth of innovation shaping the future of social care.

Earlier editions of the map highlighted more than 50 companies delivering solutions across areas such as:

  • Supported living and home care management

  • Care and nursing home management

  • Screening, monitoring and telecare

  • Care matching

  • Compliance and auditing

  • Family carer support

  • Communication and engagement platforms

Collectively, these technologies aim to:

  • Enhance the experience of residents and their loved ones

  • Support more effective workforce management

  • Improve regulatory compliance

  • Increase operational efficiency

  • Enable more data-driven care delivery

Innovation in CareTech is not limited to the UK. The continued inclusion of international providers reflects the increasingly global nature of digital transformation in adult social care, with solutions emerging from across Europe and North America.
