Melo - use of AI and predictive analytics to help address violent behaviours in mental health patient groups

melo_ **是一款新的数字健康应用程序，旨在帮助英国各地的医生和护士为一些最脆弱的精神疾病患者群体提供更好、更积极的护理。对这些患者来说，具有挑战性的行为（和暴力爆发）可能是一个持续的挑战。对于那些照顾和照顾这些病人的人来说，管理和处理这种情况同样是一个巨大的挑战。我们的新创新旨在帮助医护人员更好地了解患者行为模式，发现早期升级迹象，并为每位患者采取正确的干预措施，从而在攻击行为发生之前预防攻击行为。我们与一家专业的NHS医院合作建立了这个系统，并与他们的员工和患者一起测试新技术，然后再全面投入使用。这笔资金将帮助我们改进和评估这款应用，同时获得相关的临床和安全保证，以便在英国更广泛地使用它。随着时间的推移，melo_ **将有助于改善患者的生活，同时通过更好地帮助员工应对具有挑战性的行为来保护他们。这也将增加员工保留率并降低NHS的成本。

**_Melo_** is a new digital health app designed to help doctors and nurses across the UK provide better, more pro-active care for some of our most vulnerable mental health patient groups.For these patients, challenging behaviours (and violent outbursts) can be an ongoing challenge. Managing and dealing with this is an equally big challenge for those who look after and care for those patients.Our new innovation aims to help prevent aggressive behaviour before it occurs by enabling healthcare staff to better understand patterns of patient behaviour, spot early signs of escalation and put in place the right interventions for each patient.We have built this in collaboration with a specialist NHS hospital and are working with their staff and patients to test the new technology before it becomes fully operational. This funding would help us improve and evaluate the app, together with getting the relevant clinical and safety assurances in place for it to be used more widely across the UK.Over time **_Melo_** will help improve patients lives, together with helping to protect staff by better preparing them to deal with challenging behaviours. This will also increase staff retention and reduce costs to the NHS.
