About Melo

Melo is behavioural intelligence for clinical teams. Staff record structured observations at the point of care, and Melo turns that record into evidence teams can use to understand what is changing and make better-informed decisions. The people building Melo work closely with the teams using it in practice.

What Melo does

Complex behaviour is recorded constantly in wards and residential services, often on paper, but much of that detail is hard to carry through to the people making decisions. Handwritten charts sit in folders. A pattern that was obvious on a Tuesday night shift is invisible by the time a review meeting happens six weeks later.

Melo digitises that record, so observations can be recorded where they happen and reviewed as a pattern rather than as isolated entries.

Staff capture structured behavioural observations at the point of care using the validated instruments their service already uses. The same assessments are recorded digitally at the point of care, without a separate write-up at the end of the shift.

Recording a behaviour in Melo: patient, time of behaviour, aggression type and severity, each severity level with its written description.

Melo is clinical support software. It does not diagnose, recommend, alert or automate. It presents the observations and applies the scoring already built into each instrument. Clinical decisions remain with the team.

Safety, security and assurance

Melo is not currently a regulated medical device under UK medical device regulations. It digitises validated instruments, applies only the rule-based scoring already inherent in those paper tools, and presents results without interpretation or instruction. We keep that position under review as we develop AI features, which are currently in beta and labelled as such.

Dr Stephen Mullin, Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, is our named Clinical Safety Officer and holds formal responsibility for DCB0129 compliance.

How we work

01

Built with users

Melo develops with input from the people who record, review and use behavioural observations in practice.

02

Evidence with integrity

We publish the evidence behind Melo, including its limitations. We are careful about what the data can support and clear about what it cannot.

03

Built for routine use

Melo is designed to become part of everyday practice, with behavioural data recorded consistently over time rather than collected for a short-lived project.

The team

Melo is built by a team spanning clinical practice, product, engineering, design, research, customer success and commercial work. Select anyone to read more.
