Pilot intake opening — UK care homes

Mealtime risks,
now controlled.

Gwinya checks every plate against each resident's mealtime care plan at the point of serving — a two-second confirmation that's logged and ready for inspection.

Gwinya app — checking a plate against a resident's care plan

Meals that match the plan

Each plate is cross-referenced against the resident's IDDSI level and modifications before it's served. No relying on memory or a clipboard.

Proof, not promises

Every check is timestamped and logged. When CQC asks how you manage mealtime risk, you have the record — meal by meal, resident by resident.

Clarity at the busiest moment

A two-second glance that fits the pace of service, even with a full dining room.

The problem

Mealtimes are where care plans break down.

At a full dining room, the right texture for each resident comes down to memory, a printed sheet, or a quick word between shifts. Modified diets get missed — and mealtimes are when the consequences are most serious.

Under Reg 12, a resident simply being exposed to risk of harm is enough to fail — no incident required.

Today this lives in paper care plans and staff memory. Gwinya puts it on the plate.

Gwinya app — comparing a plate to a resident's care plan

A mealtime, end to end

One lunch service. One plate that didn't match. Caught in seconds.

Follow a single resident's lunch through Gwinya — from opening their care plan at the trolley to flagging a plate that doesn't match it.

12:55 · Lunch service begins

Step 1

Who is this plate for?

A carer opens Gwinya at the trolley. Scan the resident's wristband, or pick from the wing — every resident's plan is one tap away.

12:56 · At Arthur's room

Step 2

Photograph the plate

Before the plate leaves the trolley, a quick photo captures exactly what's being served. No clipboards, no guesswork — the record writes itself.

12:56 · Two-second check

Step 3

Does it match Arthur's plan?

Gwinya shows Arthur's modifications side-by-side with the plate. Confirm each point, or hold the plate if anything looks off. The texture, the portion, the supervision — all in view.

12:57 · Wrong plate caught

Step 4

Caught before it's served

Roast beef and carrots arrived for a Level 5 plan. Gwinya flags the mismatch, the plate goes back to the kitchen, and the catch is logged with the carer's name and the time.

03
Check
The plate is checked against their plan.
04
Confirm
Confirmed and timestamped.
05
Oversight
Managers see compliance across the whole home.

Built around the CQC standards you're inspected on

Evidence, not promises.

Gwinya helps a home evidence these standards at mealtimes. It does not deliver full compliance on its own.

Reg 14

The assessed diet, on the plate

Where a resident has an assessed modified diet, it has to be provided in line with that assessment. Gwinya checks every plate against their current plan before it's served.

Reg 12

A recognised risk, mitigated

Serving the wrong texture is a known safety risk. A two-second check at the point of plating is the kind of reasonable, practicable mitigation inspectors expect to see — and it means agency and new staff serve to the same standard.

Reg 17

Proof, not paper

Every check is timestamped at the point of care — an accurate, contemporaneous record per resident. When CQC asks how you manage mealtime risk, you open the log.

For your home

What your home gets.

Gwinya is built for managers, owners and compliance leads — so the care plan that's already in place is followed, and you can prove it.

Reg 14

The plate matches each resident's assessed diet.

Gwinya operationalises the assessment someone else made. It does not assess, diagnose, or make clinical decisions.

Reg 12

The mealtime risk is mitigated, and any staff member serves safely.

A two-second check at the point of plating means agency, bank and new staff serve to the same standard.

Reg 17

Every check is recorded and provable.

An accurate, contemporaneous record per resident — timestamped at the point of care and inspection-ready.

Team

Clinical first. Built with the people who run the service.

Gwinya is built with input from clinical speech and language therapists by an Oxford based team of founders.
