The next generation of digital observations for mental health
LIO eObs is the world’s most advanced platform for mental health observations. Whether integrated with the wider LIO platform or deployed as a standalone tool, LIO eObs helps clinical leaders reduce risk, optimise staffing, and meet the latest national safety standards, including Enhanced Therapeutic Observations and Care (ETOC).
Digitally enhanced therapeutic obs
Time-stamped observations
No and low Wi-Fi mode
Notifications for upcoming and overdue observations
Hospital and ward compliance reporting
Full EPR integration
One platform, two ways to deploy
For many providers, digital transformation happens in phases.
LIO is built to scale with your Trust or Group.
LIO eObs
Rapid digitalisation. Quickly replace paper charts with intuitive mental health nursing observations.
Clinical compliance. Time-stamped, audit-ready records for HIQA, CQC, and HIS.
Workforce efficiency & therapeutic care. Streamlined digital observations mean teams spend 33% less time on admin and more time on therapeutic care.
*Medical device software
Full LIO platform
The gold standard. Combines eObs with AI-powered ambient sensors (including contactless vital signs* and sleep monitoring*) for 24/7 safety.
Improved patient experience. Remote spot-check vital signs* without opening doors and waking patients.
Proactive prevention. Real-time safety alerts (falls, self-harm risks, blindspots, multiple occupancy) and retrospective reports to support individual care plans.
Aligned with national safety standards across the UK & Ireland
LIO eObs is designed to align with the core objectives of modern mental health frameworks — including the Enhanced Therapeutic Observations and Care (ETOC) programme in England and safety mandates from the CQC, HIS, HIQA, and MHC.
Improving workforce efficiency and staff experience
Digitising observation records and integrating them with the EPR allows staff to complete documentation up to 33% faster.
92% of staff reported finding the digital system easier and more intuitive to use than traditional paper methods.
Person-centred approach to reducing harm
High-quality, legible digital records ensure that MDT reviews and handovers are based on accurate patient history.
Increased documentation efficiency releases vital clinical capacity for more meaningful therapeutic engagement with patients.
Reducing reliance on temporary staffing spend
Real-time compliance reports provide immediate insight into ward acuity, allowing leadership to allocate internal resources effectively.
Data-led staffing oversight reduces the need for reactive bank or agency cover.
Enabling and supporting families and carers
Digital records provide a transparent governance layer, giving families data-driven confidence in the care being provided.
Timestamped, unfalsifiable records prove protocol adherence and safety, strengthening the trust between carers and providers.
Effective education and training initiatives
Unit-wide visibility allows leadership to identify "compliance hotspots" instantly across the entire estate.
Access to performance data ensures that training initiatives are targeted, evidence-based, and data-led.
“The way that observations in nursing have taken place, with nurses checking patients in person, has not really changed for decades and can be incredibly disruptive to patient sleep. LIO is transforming the patient experience at night while providing reassurance to staff that the patient is safe.”
Deputy Chief Operating Officer
“There has been a handful of incidents where someone has been in the bathroom for a length of time, and it has alerted us to that in between observational checks. Based on staff knowledge of the patient and using the system and intuition, we’ve been able to intercept things earlier than we might have done had we waited for the usual 15-minute check.”
