Our technology is changing how patients are supported through care transitions and reimagining how care plans are enacted.
In a world where patients often leave hospital, GP appointments, or rehab feeling overwhelmed and under-resourced, we exist to empower patients to take control of their healthcare with the support of ‘personal care teams’.
Our passion comes from clinical experience. We have seen what happens when patients lack the information, tools, motivation and support required to enact their care plans and support their own recovery.
Patients need more than just a plan – they need practical, emotional, social, and motivational support to keep them accountable and focused on achieving their health goals.
At Gather Group, we believe that successful patient recovery requires a team approach – with family and friends working together to support the patient in their healthcare journey.
We want to move away from placing the onus on patients to self-manage their care and towards a network approach that shares the burden of care with personal care teams consisting of a coordinated network of friends and family.
Come with us.
Our leadership team includes experts in the fields of clinical care, research, technology, human-centred design, behavioural science, sales and marketing.
