Melo presents at NR-SIG-WFNR and INS 2026 with the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability
In specialist neurorehabilitation, recording behaviour is an essential part of care. But making sense of those records across shifts, staff and weeks can be surprisingly difficult.
On a neurorehabilitation ward, an episode of behaviour that challenges might be recorded in minutes. Understanding what that episode means alongside everything else the team has observed can take considerably longer.
By the time a clinical psychologist prepares for an MDT review, there may be dozens of assessments to examine. Each contains useful information, but the clinician still needs to establish how often particular behaviours have occurred, whether their severity has changed and what circumstances might be contributing to them.
In services relying on paper-based assessments, much of that work happens manually. Forms need to be checked, information compiled and charts prepared before the team can begin discussing what the records show.
It’s an important part of clinical practice, but it can also be enormously time-consuming.

The work that follows an assessment
Specialist neurorehabilitation teams use established assessment tools to document behaviour consistently. The Overt Aggression Scale – Modified for Neurorehabilitation (OAS-MNR), for example, provides a structured approach to recording aggression after brain injury. Other tools, including the St Andrew’s Sexual Behaviour Assessment (SASBA), help clinicians assess different types of behaviour that challenges.
These assessments provide valuable information about a person’s presentation and needs. Their usefulness depends partly on what happens once staff have completed them.
Consider the questions a team might need to answer during a care review.
Has the frequency of physical aggression changed over the past month? Are incidents becoming less severe? Do particular behaviours occur more often during certain activities? Are there periods when the person appears consistently more settled?
Answering these questions means examining multiple records together.
Four review questions, one record
Pick a question to see how the same entries answer it.
Shows what a team can examine. It doesn’t explain why a pattern exists.Illustrative data
When assessments are held on paper or across separate documents, staff may need to transfer information into spreadsheets, calculate totals and prepare graphs themselves. The process takes time, particularly when assessments are completed frequently or a service supports several people with complex behavioural needs.
It also creates a practical difficulty: the information available at a review may depend on how recently someone has had time to process it.
Why timely access matters
Behaviour after acquired brain injury can fluctuate. A person may experience periods of agitation or aggression alongside times when they are comfortable, engaged and responding well to support.
Individual records provide important detail about these events. Looking across several days or weeks helps clinicians consider whether they reflect a broader pattern.
Take an increase in recorded aggression. A clinician reviewing the data might want to examine when incidents occurred, how severe they were and what was happening beforehand.
They would also need to consider whether the apparent increase reflects a change in behaviour or simply more consistent recording.
That distinction is important. Behavioural data needs clinical context, and even a well-documented pattern does not establish its cause.
Having the records readily available allows clinicians to spend more of their time examining these questions and less time preparing the information needed to answer them.
Making established assessments easier to use
Digital recording offers a practical way to reduce the manual work associated with behavioural assessments.
For clinical teams, the important consideration is whether a system supports the assessments and working practices they already rely on.
Melo supports established tools, including the OAS-MNR and SASBA, alongside other structured behavioural observations. Staff record information digitally at the point of care, and the entries are brought together in charts that clinicians can review over time.
This makes it easier to examine changes in the frequency and severity of recorded behaviours without manually compiling each assessment.
The same information can also be accessed by other members of the care team, supporting discussions across shifts and disciplines.
For psychologists, this can reduce the preparation involved in reviewing behavioural records. For nursing and support staff, it means their observations are available to contribute to the wider clinical picture.
The underlying clinical work remains the same. Staff still need to observe carefully, complete assessments accurately and use their professional judgement when interpreting what the information shows.

Record an assessment and see how it shows up in the charts.
A shared understanding across the team
Behavioural assessment is a collective effort.
Nurses and support workers often spend the most time observing and recording behaviour during everyday care. Psychologists, therapists and other clinicians bring different expertise to understanding those observations and considering appropriate support.
Filmed with the clinical team at Elysium’s Moorlands Neurological Centre, when they were using Melo. Professor Nick Alderman, who appears in the film, has since joined Melo as clinical lead.
Bringing that information together helps the MDT work with a more consistent record.
It also makes it easier to review aspects of someone’s experience that might otherwise receive less attention.
Periods of settled behaviour, positive interactions and participation in activities can be just as relevant to understanding someone’s progress as incidents of aggression or distress.
A record focused heavily on incidents may provide an incomplete impression of a person’s day. Reviewing behavioural patterns alongside other observations gives clinicians more context when discussing their needs.
This is particularly relevant in neurorehabilitation, where progress can be gradual and changes in behaviour are not always straightforward.
A shared record won’t resolve every uncertainty. It can, however, help clinicians identify where their observations agree, where questions remain and what deserves closer examination.
Getting more value from the information teams already collect
For services considering how to improve behavioural assessment, it is worth looking closely at the work involved after an observation has been recorded.
How much time goes into compiling assessments for clinical review? Can staff readily see changes across shifts? Are positive and settled periods documented alongside incidents? And how easily can the MDT examine the evidence together?
The answers can reveal opportunities to improve the process without changing the established clinical assessments themselves.
After all, the purpose of collecting behavioural information is to support an informed understanding of the person receiving care.
The easier that information is to access, examine and discuss, the more useful it becomes to the clinicians responsible for interpreting it.

On a busy neurorehabilitation ward, behavioural incidents may be documented without a corresponding structured assessment. What does that mean for the clinicians trying to understand what’s happening?
When a patient becomes distressed or aggressive during care, staff have immediate priorities. They need to keep everyone safe, respond to the person’s needs and document what happened.
The event might be recorded in clinical notes, discussed at handover or entered into an incident reporting system.
But when the MDT meets to review that person’s behaviour, the information available may not answer the questions clinicians need to ask.
Was there a recognisable trigger? Has the behaviour occurred before? Is it becoming more frequent? What happened afterwards, and how did the person respond?
An incident report may contain some of these details. It won’t necessarily provide the consistent information needed to examine behaviour over time.
For people recovering from an acquired brain injury, where behavioural changes can be complex and fluctuate throughout their rehabilitation, those gaps matter.
What can the MDT answer?
Switch between the two records to see which questions each one is built to answer.
Not every incident needs an ABC chart. This compares what each record is designed to capture.

Why incident reporting isn’t enough
Incident reporting and behavioural assessment have different purposes.
An incident report documents an event, particularly where there are concerns about safety, harm or risk. Structured behavioural assessments help clinicians build a more detailed understanding of a person’s presentation.
Antecedent, Behaviour and Consequence (ABC) charts record what happened before a behaviour, the behaviour itself and what followed. The Agitated Behaviour Scale (ABS) provides a standardised way to assess agitation following brain injury.
Both can contribute important information to clinical review.
Yet completing these assessments consistently can be difficult in practice. Staff are already balancing direct patient care, clinical documentation, handovers and numerous other responsibilities.
Behaviour may be discussed during a shift without a structured assessment being completed. An incident could be documented in detail, but the information may not be organised in a way that allows the MDT to compare it with previous observations.
Not every incident requires an ABC chart, of course. The concern is whether the team is collecting enough relevant information to understand the behaviours affecting a person’s care.
What happens when that information is missing?
An early evaluation of Melo in inpatient neurorehabilitation highlighted this challenge.
A review of historical ward records found that adverse incidents had been documented, but structured behavioural assessments were relatively limited.
Researchers also surveyed MDT members about their experience of preparing for and discussing behaviour that challenges. Some reported feeling inadequately prepared, with time lost during meetings because relevant information was unavailable.
What the early evaluation found
Two inpatient neurorehabilitation wards, 2023 to 2024.
ABS charts
ABC charts
In the six months before the pilot, 13 adverse incidents were documented on the wards, alongside 9 ABC charts and no ABS charts.
5 of 10 MDT members surveyed did not feel well prepared for meetings about behaviour that challenges.
9 of 10 lost at least 5 minutes per meeting because information about the behaviour was missing.
A research assistant joined during the pilot and working practices changed, so the rise in assessments can’t be put down to Melo alone. The survey is small (10 people, July 2023).
Source: Melo pilot on two neurorehabilitation wards at Salford Royal Hospital, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, August 2023 to February 2024. Read the evaluation report
The findings came from a small evaluation, but the underlying problem is recognisable.
Clinicians may be familiar with someone’s behaviour through day-to-day experience, yet lack a consistent record of how that behaviour has changed. Different team members may have observed different things, with no straightforward way to compare their accounts.
That makes it harder to examine whether a particular approach is helping, identify areas that need further assessment or explain the evidence behind a proposed care plan.
Are teams recording the behaviours that matter?
One of the more interesting findings from Melo’s early evaluation concerned how staff understood behaviour that challenges.
As clinicians discussed and documented behaviours more frequently, they reported becoming more aware of what should be considered relevant.
Aggression may be an obvious concern, but other behaviours can have significant implications for care. Pulling at medical equipment, repeatedly refusing essential care or becoming distressed during routine activities may all warrant closer assessment.
Less severe episodes can also be important when they occur repeatedly or suggest a change in someone’s presentation.
The evaluation found that greater discussion of behaviour, alongside the use of structured assessment tools, encouraged staff to consider these details more carefully.
This raises a useful question for ward teams:
Are staff clear about which behaviours need documenting, or does structured recording happen mainly when an incident is serious enough to escalate?
Agreeing what to record, and why, is an important part of making behavioural assessments more consistent.
Making behavioural recording part of everyday care
Asking staff to complete more assessments is unlikely to help if the process adds significantly to their workload.
The recording process needs to be practical, with clear expectations about who completes assessments and when.
This was an important consideration during Melo’s early development and evaluation.
Melo supports digital ABC charts and ABS assessments, allowing staff to record structured observations and make them available for clinical review. The information can be examined through charts, helping clinicians assess frequency, severity and changes over time.
During the historical evaluation, the number of structured assessments recorded increased considerably. However, the project also involved dedicated research support and changes to working practices, so the increase cannot be attributed to Melo alone.
That distinction is useful for any service considering digital behavioural recording.
Technology can make assessments easier to complete and review. It still needs to be introduced alongside appropriate training, clinical leadership and agreement about how the information will be used.
Staff need to understand the value of recording behaviours consistently, and they need to see that their observations contribute to clinical discussions.
See how Melo records ABC and ABS assessments
Structured observations from the ward, ready for the MDT to review.
Giving the MDT something meaningful to review
A behavioural record becomes particularly valuable when clinicians can examine observations made by different staff members over time.
Rather than relying principally on recollections or isolated reports, the MDT can review recorded patterns, consider the circumstances surrounding behaviours and identify questions requiring further investigation.
That information may support discussions about behavioural support plans, therapeutic activities and the level of assistance a person needs.
It can also help staff recognise periods when someone is settled or engaging positively with their care, providing context alongside episodes of distress or agitation.
None of this removes the need for clinical interpretation. A pattern does not necessarily explain why a behaviour occurs, and a change in recording frequency can affect what the data appears to show.
What matters is having sufficiently consistent information for clinicians to examine those possibilities.
Is your ward collecting the information it needs?
For ward managers and clinical leads, improving behavioural recording starts with a few practical questions.
Which behaviours are staff expected to assess? Is there a consistent approach across shifts? Can staff complete assessments without unnecessary duplication? And when the MDT meets, is the recorded information detailed enough to support a meaningful discussion?
If the answers are unclear, introducing a new recording system will only address part of the problem.
Clear expectations, manageable processes and regular feedback to staff are equally important.
Because when a clinical team is trying to understand someone’s behaviour, the quality of the discussion depends in part on what has been recorded.

Why behavioural information is hard to use
Clinical teams already record a significant amount of information about behaviour, across observation charts, clinical notes and electronic records.
The problem is often what happens next.
When observations are recorded inconsistently or without enough structure, it becomes difficult to compare what is happening across shifts, recognise patterns and triggers, or show whether a change in care is making a difference.
Decisions about observation levels, care planning and discharge can then end up relying heavily on the most recent handover rather than the fuller picture over time.

Supporting the next stage of Melo
The investment will support further development and validation of Melo as its use grows across NHS and independent care.
Melo is currently used across acute NHS wards, specialist neurorehabilitation hospitals and independent complex care services, supporting people living with dementia, acquired brain injury, neuro-disability and behaviours that challenge.
As part of the partnership, CareTech Business Development Director Zak Sheikh has also joined the Decently Board.
“Our decision to invest in Decently was driven by what we saw in Melo itself. The platform is already demonstrating measurable benefits for clinical teams through improved efficiency, stronger documentation and better visibility of behavioural information.”
“Information that helps teams understand complex behaviour is recorded inconsistently, lacks structure, and is rarely turned into meaningful action. Melo enables frontline teams to capture clinically meaningful observations of challenging and positive behaviours at the point of care, using gold-standard measures, and translate them into clear, actionable insight the whole team can act on.”
“CareTech’s investment will help us accelerate this mission: empowering more teams to deliver evidence-led, person-centred support and advancing our ambition to reach 10 million patients, families and clinicians worldwide over the next decade.”
James BurchCo-founder, DecentlyWhat happens next
We’re building Melo for the whole sector, across NHS trusts and independent providers.
The funding gives us more capacity to develop and validate the product as we work with clinical teams in different care settings. We’ll share more of that work, and the evidence behind it, as it develops.

What we showed at INS 2026 in Dublin
The International Neuropsychological Society brought its 2026 Mid-Year Meeting to Trinity Business School in Dublin, from 22 to 24 July. Co-founder James Burch and Dr Farran presented both pieces of work as posters on the Friday afternoon.
Working with the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability
Both posters carry RHN’s name alongside ours. Dr Farran and her colleagues implemented Melo on Wellesley Ward, RHN’s specialist neuro-behavioural inpatient service, and then evaluated it over a year.
On that ward, clinicians regularly have to evidence the need for 1:1 support to the Integrated Care Board, and those decisions determine whether funding continues. Ward managers used Melo’s behavioural charts to support one of those cases for the first time this year.
“Melo is such an important, useful and exciting development in the world of managing behaviour that challenges. Melo is a straightforward and clear app to track behaviour that challenges after brain injury. This will help us improve the data collection and how we utilise the data on our wards.”

What the funding supports
The accelerator is part of the wider UKRI NHS Fit for the Future R&D Missions Dementia Programme, and the UK’s national drive to transform dementia diagnosis, care and outcomes through:
- Improving early detection and ongoing understanding of dementia
- Accelerating adoption of proven innovations across the NHS
- Ensuring patients receive faster, more personalised care
Together with UHLG and partners, this project will enable us to expand real-world evaluation, strengthen the evidence base for behavioural-led care in dementia settings, and support wider NHS adoption.
Our work with NHS UHLG
Over the past year, we’ve partnered closely with clinical teams across UHLG to embed Melo across 13 wards spanning Aintree, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen hospitals, supporting teams to better understand and respond to patient behaviours.

Introducing ABC+, a new lens on behaviour
Alongside this milestone, we’ve recently launched ABC+, our enhanced behavioural framework.
Traditional ABC (Antecedent, Behaviour, Consequence) frameworks are widely used in practice to capture complex behaviours. ABC+ builds on this foundation, inspired by approaches like Dementia Care Mapping (DCM), to broaden the focus beyond complex behaviour and provide a more holistic picture of the patient experience.
What each record captures
Switch between a traditional ABC chart and ABC+ to see what it adds.
AntecedentWhat happened before the behaviour.
BehaviourWhat the behaviour was.
ConsequenceWhat followed it.
Positive behavioursWhat’s going well and should be reinforced.
Sleep insightsA critical but often overlooked driver of behaviour.
Context-rich observationsEnabling deeper, more meaningful analysis.
ABC+ is inspired by approaches like Dementia Care Mapping (DCM).
This shift aligns closely with the principles of person-centred care, helping teams move beyond observation alone, towards understanding, insight and proactive care, while recognising that behaviour is often a form of communication.
This milestone reflects true collaboration, between clinicians, innovators and healthcare systems.
Thank you to everyone across UKRI/STFC and UHLG for making this possible. We’re looking forward to continuing our work and progressing with the project together.

Over the past year, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has supported the next stage of Melo’s development through the NIHR i4i FAST programme.
The project aim was to explore how Melo (originally piloted in a single clinical environment) could scale to support clinicians working with individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) across a variety of services and organisations. Twelve months later, the project has helped move Melo from an early-stage innovation toward a platform designed for real-world clinical adoption at scale.

The challenge of understanding complex behaviours
People living with acquired brain injury often experience complex behavioural changes such as agitation, aggression, impulsivity and emotional dysregulation.
Clinicians rely on structured tools like ABC charts, ABS and OAS-MNR to understand these behaviours and guide interventions. However, in many services these assessments are still recorded on paper or across multiple systems, making it difficult to identify patterns and coordinate care effectively.
Melo was developed to address this challenge by enabling clinicians to capture, analyse and share behavioural assessment data digitally in real time.

What comes next?
With the project complete, the focus now shifts from development to expanding adoption across healthcare services.
By working with clinicians, researchers and people with lived experience, we are building the clinical and operational evidence needed to support wider implementation.
Our goal is simple: to help clinicians understand complex patient behaviours sooner and support better care for people living with acquired brain injury.
We are extremely grateful to NIHR and the i4i FAST programme for supporting this work.
Innovation in healthcare rarely happens in isolation. It requires collaboration between clinicians, researchers, patients and technology teams.
This project has been a powerful example of what can happen when those groups work together. And we’re only just getting started!
