Camascope (Formerly named VCare Systems)

What Camascope (Formerly named VCare Systems) does

Camascope (formerly VCare Systems), founded in 2016 and headquartered in London with operations centred on the UK social care sector, provides an electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) platform that replaces paper MAR charts with real-time digital recording of medication administration via tablet and mobile devices. The platform integrates with major UK pharmacy management systems (Titan, ProScript Connect, RxWeb, Analyst, Boots Columbus) and digital care planning systems (Nourish, KareInn, PCS mCare) to enable two-way prescription and care data flow, and supports regulatory compliance with CQC (England), CIW (Wales), and Care Inspectorate (Scotland) requirements. Add-on modules include Medication Intelligence for benchmarking and analytics, Remote Patient Monitoring with NHS-integrated NEWS2 deterioration alerts (deployed with Immedicare and NHS South West London), and a Carehome Portal for workflow management.

The company monetises through a SaaS subscription model with quote-based pricing tied to care home size and bed count, plus implementation and 24/7 human support. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales (National Account Directors targeting national care groups such as Anchor Hanover, Sanctuary Care, Shaw Healthcare, Somerset Care, Greensleeves Care, and Carebase), inside sales for mid-market regional providers, and a demo-led self-serve motion for independent single-site operators. As of 2026, Camascope served over 3,000 health and care organisations supporting more than 85,000 residents and processing over 20 million medication administrations per month, and was ranked 248th in the Financial Times' FT 1000 list of Europe's fastest-growing companies.

In June 2026, Camascope was acquired by Person Centred Software (PCS), forming the PCS Group alongside Clearcare (children's care software), with former Camascope CEO Kehan Zhou — who had scaled the platform from approximately 14,000 to over 85,000 residents during his tenure from 2023 — elevated to Group CEO. The combination is positioned as a connected care intelligence platform uniting medication management, digital care planning, and paediatric care software across UK social care.
