Software firm expands offering with acquisition

The Access Group has announced its acquisition of Oysta Technology, a specialist in care tech solutions. 

Founded in 2008 and based in the UK and Spain, Oysta Technology looks to support safe, independent living and ease the burden on health and social care systems.

Loughborough-based Access HSC, which provides software solutions for healthcare, local government, and care organisations will integrate Oysta’s technology to connect health and social care.

Currently, Oysta works together with various partners in the UK and Ireland, such as local authorities, social care providers, housing associations, care homes, and NHS Trusts.

Steve Sawyer, managing director of Access Health, Support and Care commented: “Welcoming Oysta into the Access family reflects our strategy of continuing to make a real difference in the provision of technology-enabled care. Oysta combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly devices that support an individual’s independence and give them the freedom to live their lives or carry out their job with the reassurance that help is at hand should they need it.

“We look forward to working alongside the Oysta team to facilitate safer patient discharges, reduce delayed transfers of care and lower overall care costs. Leveraging the digital intelligence offered by the IntelliCare™ platform, we aim to minimise ambulance callouts and hospital admissions through our 24/7 service. Together, we are in an excellent position to drive a significant transformation in health and social care.”
