Novel radar/sensor safety technology for multi-room mental health facilities

数字化转型是NHS实现更好健康、更好医疗保健和更高价值三重目标的主要战略之一，然而，帮助数字化转型精神健康服务的供应商短缺，支持MH专业人员的数字工具市场存在缺口。该项目将使用传感器生产数字系统，帮助支持大型多房间精神健康病房和看守所中的患者的安全和福祉。这项研究将涉及各种技术的评估、算法开发工作和在不同环境中的测试。这项研究将在设计中考虑复杂的行为(例如自杀和自残)。这项工作得到了许多利益相关者的支持，包括NHS MH信托基金，他们将为这项研究做出贡献。

Digital transformation is one of the NHS's main strategies for achieving the Triple Aim of Better Health, Better Healthcare and Better Value, however there is a shortage of suppliers helping to digitally transform mental health services and a gap in the market for digital tools to support MH professionals.This project will use sensors to produce a digital system which will help support patient safety and wellbeing in large multiple room mental health wards and custodial settings. The research will involve evaluation of various technologies, algorithm development work and testing in various environments. The research will consider complex behaviours (suicidal and self-harm for example) in the design. The work is supported by a number of stakeholders, including NHS MH Trusts, who will contribute to the research.
