The Story Behind
CareTrust AI

Founded in Singapore to solve the paperwork crisis silently eroding care quality in nursing homes across the island — we exist to give nurses their time back and families their peace of mind.

Our Three Pillars

Every product decision is anchored to three non-negotiable commitments.

Clinical Safety First

Every feature we build is reviewed by practising nurses and clinical advisors. We only ship tools that demonstrably reduce the risk of medication errors, missed vitals, and late incident reporting — because in nursing homes, software decisions are patient safety decisions.

Family Trust & Transparency

Families trust nursing homes with their most beloved relatives. CareTrust AI makes that trust visible — real-time updates, visit booking, billing transparency, and instant wound-photo sharing so no family is ever left wondering what happened today.

Regulatory Excellence

Singapore's Healthcare Services Act (HCSA) and MOH licensing requirements set the gold standard for elder care governance. CareTrust AI is co-designed with ex-MOH advisors so that compliance is automatic, not an afterthought.

How It Started

40% of every shift.
Lost to paper.

It started with a simple observation. A close family member of our co-founder was admitted to a nursing home in Tampines in 2021. During visits, it was striking how often the nurses — clearly dedicated, clearly compassionate — were bent over clipboards, transfer books, and printed medication charts rather than at the bedside.

A conversation with the senior enrolled nurse revealed the truth: on a typical 12-hour shift, a nurse could spend four to five hours on documentation alone. Handover notes were written by hand. Medication records were paper-based. Incident forms required triplicates. Falls had to be logged in three separate registers.

CareTrust AI was founded in 2022 with a single, clear mission: give that time back to patients. We built an AI-native clinical operating system — not a digitised version of the same paper forms, but a fundamentally reimagined way of running a nursing home.

Today, CareTrust AI serves over 50 facilities across Singapore, and nurses report spending under 15% of their shift on documentation — freeing more than two hours per shift for direct resident care.

What We Stand For

Five values that guide every hire, every feature, and every customer conversation.

Resident-First

Every design decision starts with one question: does this make life better or safer for the resident? Technology is a means to an end — and that end is dignified, compassionate care.

Radical Transparency

We publish our uptime, incident response times, and compliance audit results. We believe nursing homes deserve to know exactly what they are buying and exactly how we perform.

Clinical Rigour

We apply evidence-based standards to our software features. NEWS2 scoring, 5-Rights MAR, wound staging — all implemented to published clinical guidelines.

Privacy by Design

Patient data never leaves Singapore. Role-based access, end-to-end encryption at rest and in transit, and PDPA-compliant data retention policies are baked in from day one.

Continuous Innovation

Singapore's elder care landscape evolves every year. We ship meaningful updates bi-weekly and engage a Clinical Advisory Board of nurses, doctors, and gerontologists to guide our roadmap.

Our Journey

From a garage-level idea to Singapore's leading nursing home AI platform in four years.
