Summary | A nursing home in London developed an app to faciliate administrative work.

The London-based nursing home called Nightingale worked with a team to create a smartphone app that would facilitate workers and nurses' work. Thanks to the app, care workers can now enter patient information digitally. The app uses algorithms and language recognition.

Summary | British entrepreneurs and investors are doing good; the app Swiftkey was created by three Cambridge graduates and attracted the attention of Silicon Valley.
The Cambridge graduates founded Swiftkey, an app that uses artificial intelligence to predict the next word you can type. Nevertheless, Swiftkey is not the first UK company to be successful; Amazon was the first one. The reason why Britain is so strong in this competitive area might be because of the locations of the startups (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College and University College London)
