Sentai comment in Health Tech World
“We need to move from crisis response to early action” – health tech leaders react to UK Budget
Paul Statham, CEO of Sentai, said:
“The Chancellor’s focus on healthcare and welfare, and the role of technology and AI today is welcome – but ambition without clarity won’t deliver change. Preventative technology in social care has the potential to save the public purse over £11bn if properly scaled.
“Our own research shows a gap between knowing what the challenge is, and taking action. Four in ten adults recognise that delaying support increases risks, yet almost half of older people never access help at all – often because of fear of losing independence, or not wanting to be a burden. That said, the vast majority (79%) believe technology could be the answer.
The UK’s 2025 Autumn Budget has outlined a series of measures with direct implications for the health tech sector, signalling a renewed push to modernise NHS infrastructure and expand tech-enabled care.
