Liverpool University Hospitals to trial Melo app for dementia care

Liverpool University Hospitals (LUHFT) NHS Foundation Trust is embarking on a trial of the Melo app, aimed at improving dementia care by tracking patient behavior patterns. Developed in partnership with health tech startup Decently, the online platform will enhance clinical decision-making by identifying behavioral triggers in patients with neurological illnesses. Through digital behavioral assessments on the app, staff at Aintree University Hospital will gain insights to better support dementia patients. The innovative technology will not only help in settling patients on wards but also aid in de-escalating challenging behaviors. With a focus on providing the highest quality care, LUHFT is passionate about utilizing intuitive technology to enhance patient care and support staff in delivering improved services. The Melo platform, tailored to the specific needs of patients and healthcare professionals, has the potential to revolutionize dementia care. By ensuring data security and compliance with regulations, LUHFT aims to demonstrate the benefits of utilizing this innovative app in improving the care and safety of dementia patients.
