Make earlier sense of complex patient behaviours
Melo improves the understanding of challenging behaviour across various patient groups (brain injury, dementia, PTSD, learning disability, autism).
Simplified patient assessments, together with graphs & smart analytics, support clinicians in making improved evidence-based care decisions and ultimately, better manage the impact of escalating behaviour patterns and reduce incidents.
Working in partnership with:
PLAN | PREDICT | PREVENT
