which will support ongoing regulatory reporting and care planning requirements for CQC and local Quality Assurance assessment.

The system has been developed to conform to the Mental Capacity Act 2007/DOLS 2009 and it supports conformance for carehome CQC rating.

MyAmego® is unique in its approach to the provision of technology. Underpinning the system’s usage is adherence to the requirements of the Mental Capacity Act (Mental Incapacity Act, Scotland) and the principles of choice, rights and best interest of individual users. The emphasis for the technology’s usage is supporting individuals rather than providing custodial care.

Users of the system have found it useful in monitoring individual's wellbeing, spotting conditions - UTI, constipation, and depression; in managing and reducing medication; in working with other care professionals and in helping the relationship with relatives and families.
