The next generation of digital observations for mental health
Observations, monitoring, insight – seamlessly integrated to support more connected, coordinated and consistent care.
Digital 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 on therapeutic care.
*Medical device software
Full LIO platform
The gold standard. Combines eObs with AI-powered ambient sensors (including medically-cleared 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 for falls, self-harm risks, blindspots and multiple occupancy.
Aligned with national safety standards across the UK & Ireland
LIO is designed to align with the core objectives of modern mental health frameworks — including Enhanced Therapeutic Observations and Care (ETOC) programme in England and safety mandates from the CQC, HIS, HIQA, and MHC.
Clinical oversight and governance
"Board-to-ward" assurance: Visibility for senior leaders to ensure protocols are met.
Single version of truth: Replace anecdotal reports with objective data for seamless audits and inspections.
Least restrictive, person-centred care
Protect patient sleep: Eliminate intrusive nighttime checks with contact-free monitoring to preserve restorative rest and the therapeutic relationship.
Safely step down 1:1 observations: Facilitate proportional care and reduce 1:1 requirements.
Therapeutic engagement
33% more time for care: Reclaim clinical hours by transitioning from paper-based systems to LIO eObs.
Informed MDT reviews: Use objective activity and wellbeing insights for truly personalised risk assessments.
Operational excellence
Evidence-based coaching: Use ward data to drive daily safety huddles and recognise excellence, providing junior staff with the context needed to prioritise patient safety.
Acuity-led staffing: Deploy resources where they are needed most to manage workload and reduce agency costs.
“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.”
