What CareCube Solutions does

CareCube Solutions Ltd is a UK-based private company, founded in 2016 and headquartered in Solihull, West Midlands, with a second office in Wilmslow, Cheshire. It develops and sells a networked digital workflow system purpose-built for cardiac catheterisation laboratories (cath labs) within NHS hospitals. The core product, the CareCube Platform, is a web-enabled interface that centralises scheduling and tracking of patients undergoing cardiovascular interventional procedures and communicates procedure list changes in real time to all staff and patients across clinical areas including wards, labs, and theatres. The platform was designed in collaboration with The Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH), which has publicly credited CareCube with improving cath lab utilisation from 80% to over 95%.

The company targets a single customer segment — NHS cardiac centres and catheterisation laboratories in the United Kingdom — through a direct, sales-led motion, with named commercial contacts Tim Coutts and Michelle May. Revenue is generated via software licensing or subscription arrangements with NHS trusts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled on a per-engagement basis. Marketing is evidence-led, centred on case studies with NHS England and the York Health Economics Consortium and on testimonials from named clinical leaders at LHCH, The Yorkshire Heart Centre, University Hospital of North Midlands NHS Trust, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (in partnership with Philips), and Blackpool Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

CareCube has raised £250,000 in funding from the Midlands Engine Investment Fund in 2022 (classified as a grant) and has expanded its team and product development efforts accordingly. The company holds ICO Data Protection Register registration ZA494018 and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees. Its February 2024 inclusion as the operational and scheduling informatics layer in a Philips-led Managed Service at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust represents its most significant third-party validation to date.

Core offering

CareCube Solutions develops a web-enabled digital workflow platform that allows cardiology cath lab teams to schedule, track, and manage patients undergoing cardiovascular procedures in real time. The software is purpose-built for cardiac catheterisation laboratories and was originally co-designed with Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH) to optimise cath lab throughput, list management, and procedure scheduling across NHS cardiac centres.

Product overview

CareCube Solutions offers a single, unified platform focused on cardiology lab and theatre efficiency. The core product is the CareCube Platform, a fully integrated digital workflow system designed in collaboration with The Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH) that centralizes scheduling and tracking of patients undergoing cardiovascular interventional procedures in catheter laboratories. The platform features real-time scheduling with a web-enabled interface networked around the institution, communicating changes to all staff and patients across clinical areas including wards, labs, and theatres. The system supports patient safety, reduces human error, and makes the best use of resources.

Direct peers

• QGenda: Healthcare workforce and resource scheduling platform widely used in US provider organisations. Comparable in that it sells enterprise scheduling and operational visibility software to specialty clinical departments, including procedural and perioperative areas.
• Lumeon: UK/US-based care pathway orchestration platform that automates scheduling, coordination and patient flow across hospitals. Highly comparable as both vendors sell workflow and scheduling software into provider organisations to lift utilisation and throughput.
• PerfectServe: Clinical communication and scheduling platform for hospital teams, including procedural and on-call coordination. Comparable as a vendor selling real-time scheduling and coordination software to clinical staff in hospital settings.
• LeanKit (Planview LeanKit): Workflow and process management software for clinical and operational teams. Comparable as a workflow-automation tool used to coordinate complex multi-step clinical and operational processes inside provider organisations.

Emerging players

• WellSky: Healthcare software vendor with scheduling and care coordination solutions across hospital and post-acute settings. Comparable as an emerging player offering care coordination software that can be applied to specialty procedural environments.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Healthineers: Global medical imaging and interventional cardiology vendor with growing digital health portfolio. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose cath lab and digital offerings overlap with CareCube's procedural and workflow focus.
• GE HealthCare: Major imaging and cath lab equipment vendor with adjacent perioperative and workflow software. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating in the cath lab and adjacent enterprise scheduling/workflow software categories.
• Epic Systems: Leading EHR vendor with deep penetration in UK specialist trusts through shared instances. Comparable as the dominant enterprise scheduling and care coordination incumbent that NHS trusts may prefer to extend before buying stand-alone specialty workflow tools.
• Philips: Global medtech incumbent whose image-guided therapy (Azurion) and managed services are used in cath labs worldwide, and which already co-deploys with CareCube at Leeds. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose cath lab footprint both validates the market and could subsume specialty workflow tooling.
• Oracle Health (Cerner): Dominant EHR vendor deployed widely across the NHS. Comparable because its enterprise scheduling, perioperative and care coordination modules compete for the same NHS IT wallet that funds specialty tools like CareCube.
