The LIO platform has gained the exclusive rights to Alpha Global for distribution across Australia. This agreement will be a huge stride in improving care. Technology promises contactless insights, better governance, and more streamlined clinician workflows.
LIO is working well in the United Kingdom, as half of the NHS mental health trusts have adopted it; it seeks to transform Australian hospitals similarly.
What makes the new platform unique?
LIO unifies ambient monitoring, digital observations, and operational insights to enhance patient safety and reduce staff workload.
In the mutual understanding of what a single system means to mental health wards, mental healthcare needs are involved in complex and stringent safety checks. Disjointed tools form a risk and double the workload. LIO unifies processes, thereby decreasing errors and providing real-time information.
The ambient monitoring is a contactless system, meaning patients are not disturbed during their routine observations. It will be able to notify staff of any sudden change in movement or behaviour. This will truly safeguard patients whilst maintaining comfort.
LIO boosts patient safety and eases staff workload
How does it help clinicians and patients?
Clinicians get tools that adjust to patient needs. Digital observations include smart scheduling and automatic alerts when rounds are missed, a vital feature for preventing lapses in checks.
One-to-one care mode enables a special kind of observation for high-risk patients. It confers continuous attention to patients while simultaneously reducing pressure from staff members.
For patients, the environment tends to be less invasive. With contactless monitoring, constant entry to or vigorous moving into the patient’s room is hugely minimised, which lowers anxiety and helps with rest.
Staff have confidence in their alerted calls-it is a matter of consistent data. The platform guarantees that key observations are noted and accessible in real time.
What about governance and reporting?
Compliance is essential in mental health facilities. LIO provides reporting tools that improve transparency and accountability within institutes, permitting hospital administrators to track performance, safety metrics, and compliance of all service providers in real-time.
Integration with existing EPR systems further cuts down double entry of data, saving time while minimising human error in administrative data-entry exercises.
Installation is, by design, fast and non-distracting. The ambient monitoring units are sleek and discreet, and can be installed in minutes for installation without any wiring.
Who stands behind LIO and Alpha Global?
Alpha Global carries innovative options of healthcare options throughout Australia and New Zealand. Its portfolio is designed to find ways of improving patient outcomes through technology.
LIO has been conceived as a whole-hospital solution for mental health settings. These settings encompass the peculiar requirements of a psychiatric ward and several specialised units.
LIO has been validated through peer-reviewed studies on its ability to increase safety and efficiency. Across the United Kingdom, it is counted on by clinicians and hospital management alike.
According to Jeremy Clare, Alpha Global’s Head of Product, this partnership fits strongly with the company’s mission of delivering world-class solutions. LIO represents a “significant leap forward” for inpatient care, in his opinion.
Todd Haedrich, CEO of LIO, gave recognition to Alpha Global’s track record of healthcare innovation. He said the company’s credibility should only help LIO make strong inroads in Australia.

When will it be available?
LIO is now available to all Australian hospitals. Alpha Global is currently preparing to provide onboarding support and training to mental health personnel.
Hospitals can expect LIO’s full implementation process to be much faster than many technology rollouts. Installation will be streamlined to allow for the least possible downtime of wards.
Early adopters can be expected to begin reporting improvements in operational efficiency. The system’s flexibility allows it to scale for facilities of different sizes.
