In February 2018, Advinia Health Care acquired 22 care homes and 2,700 beds from Bupa in a move which put it among the top ten private care providers in the UK. Today, Advinia operates 38 care homes with 3,250 beds and is valued at over 250 million pounds.[15] In 2017, Advinia Healthcare became the first care provider in the UK to research the use of robots in care homes,[16] within the EU-Japan project CARESSES [17] led by University of Genova.[18] The 2 million euro EU-funded project in partnership with University of Genova, Middlesex University, University of Bedfordshire, Örebro University, SoftBank, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Nagoya University and Chubu University, started in January 2017 [19] and ended in January 2020. The Pepper robot,[20] owned by Softbank, was embedded with an Artificial Intelligence developed in the project and designed to interact with older people in a culturally competent way to address their needs.
