Managing users

Installing Melo vs. simply visiting the website gives you a cleaner, app-like experience; no tabs, address bars, or distractions. It lives right on your desktop or phone wallpaper. It also loads faster and feels more like a native app than a regular website.

Installing Melo for a better experience

These articles explain how to record assessments and supporting behaviours against patients.

Behavioural data

Care tips act as a patient-specific toolbox for caring effectively for them. People enter what's worked for them when working with this patient, and others can upvote these tips. This results in a validated list of personalised strategies.

Care tips

Key events are timestamp markers which can be annotated onto timeseries graphs to highlight things like a change in care strategy or day-trips. This can be useful to determine if behaviour changes around these times. 

Key events

This page describes all things assessment-management. Assessments are all stored in a filterable list and can be updated or deleted.

Updating & deleting assessments

These assessments are observational tools used to record and measure detailed aggressive behaviours (SASBA focusses on sexualised aggression) in patients with brain injuries. This allows teams to understand whether changes to care are effective by comprehensively measuring changes in behaviour.
