Contactless monitoring to prevent self-harm and suicide in custodial settings: Protocol for a global scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Self-harm and suicide are major contributors to the global burden of disease and people in custodial settings are at a markedly increased risk of these adverse outcomes. Contactless monitoring technology is emerging as a possible solution to prevent self-harm and suicide by detecting and predicting vulnerabilities among people at increased risk in custodial settings in realtime, however no reviews to date have synthesized the evidence base, in the custodial context, regarding (a) the extent to which this technology has been implemented; and (b) the acceptability and feasibility of its application among custodial staff, specifically in relation to maintaining the wellbeing and safety of both incarcerated people and custodial professionals.
