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

数字化转型是NHS实现“更好的健康、更好的医疗保健和更好的价值”三重目标的主要战略之一，然而，帮助精神卫生服务数字化转型的供应商短缺，支持精神卫生专业人员的数字工具市场也存在空白。该项目将使用传感器生产一个数字系统，该系统将有助于支持大型多房间精神卫生病房和监护环境中的患者安全和健康。这项研究将涉及各种技术的评估、算法开发工作和在各种环境下的测试。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.
