Introduction

Novel technological interventions are increasingly used in mental health settings. Examples include mood monitoring by text messaging [ 1, 2], cognitive behavior therapy by smartphone:apps” [ 3], and touchscreen technology in hospital settings [ 4]. Telepsychiatry, the practice of psychiatry over distances using information and communication technologies, has also continued to develop throughout the world, making use of new technologies [ 5– 8]. In this article, we describe three novel technological strategies in use for the management of risk and violence in two forensic psychiatry settings in the United Kingdom: a medium secure service in London and Broadmoor high secure hospital.

Several studies evaluating technological interventions in psychiatry report encouraging results. Mood monitoring by text message in patients with bipolar disorder was shown to generate clinical data comparable to one-to-one interviews for monitoring of the condition [ 1]. A pilot study of a text message–based outreach program for patients with suicidal behaviors was accepted by patients who found it to have a positive preventive impact [ 2]. It also had several advantages such as lower cost and easier utilization compared to current post-acute care strategies. Another study showed reduced depressive symptoms using a mindfulness-based smartphone app intervention [ 3]. In a sample of 1308 consecutive inpatients and outpatients participating in a 2-week cognitive behavioral therapy group, daily self-report measures using touch-screen technology were effective in reducing symptoms for patients at risk of poor outcomes [ 4].

Forensic psychiatry services have been alert to these developments. Forensic services in the UK treat individuals with mental illness who have committed violent offences or are thought to be at especially high risk of doing so. Management of risk and violence is complex, and new cost-effective strategies to optimize outcomes for patients while reducing risk are of great interest to clinicians and service administrators. Inpatient services for these patients are provided through a network of high, medium, and low secure units [ 9].

The largest segment of UK forensic services are the medium secure units (MSUs), consisting of approximately 3500 beds in the UK [ 9]. MSUs are expensive services that combine high levels of physical and relational security with intensive medical, nursing, and psychological treatments. The medium secure forensic psychiatry service of the South London and Maudsley Foundation Trust ( https://www.national.slam.nhs.uk/services/adult-services/forensic/) is a typical UK forensic service that aims to manage risk, reduce further offending, and support recovery throughout the patient’s stay. There are eight wards, with varying levels of security. Admissions and intensive care wards offer enhanced physical, procedural, and relational security, while predischarge units offer a high level of independence with a lower level of security, increased access to community programs, and community outreach services, which foster the development of living skills before moving to independent settings in the community.

Broadmoor High Secure Hospital ( http://www.wlmht.nhs.uk/bm/broadmoor-hospital/) is one of four high secure hospitals in the UK. People referred to high secure hospitals in the UK are detained under mental health legislation because they are thought to pose a “grave and immediate danger to the public” [ 9]. The hospitals treat people with mental illness and personality disorders who represent a high degree of risk to themselves or to others. There are approximately 210 patients, and the average stay is five years. Patients are transferred to conditions of lower security once the risks that they pose are diminished. The hospital provides a full range of therapeutic treatments that are tailored to each patient’s individual needs, including assessment, specialist care, and rehabilitation.
