Is there any person or org in the US that could extend the incredible work of #StopOxevision UK - here? (Oxevision now called LIO). #LIO is here now, in Colorado, and I had plan but no time to dedicate to oppose it. Their business plan is US market. #Surveillance #Carceral

1/ Super work #StopOxevision #StopLIO. PS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GIVE CONSENT TO SURVEIL TECH LIKE OXEVISION LIO. This is not CCTV. They calibrate "AI" w plans to do so-called prediction of high-risk behavior. They're data use is future & open-ended, that's why meaningful consent is not possible.
✊️lives over profit, dignity over big tech, surveillance will never be safety, I stand with #StopOxevision @stopoxevision.bsky.social
Dollars to donuts that no one on paid staff has ever been on a section with an oxevision camera in their room and wouldn't let their kid be in a oxevision room on a camhs ward either. #StopOxevision
Laura, your product is not so high tech and special that a group of service users can't parse the human rights implications and convey those in plan language to a wide audience. Maybe do us the courtesy of saying what you mean. #StopOxevision
Being filmed in your underwear really brings a lot of clarity around who can access a 15 second blurred image on a ward IPad without 'unique staff authentication.' Ffs. #StopOxevision
Their website is not designed for patients or their families to get info, Laura Couzens claims, which is bizarre for a product seemingly so co designed and advantageous to patients who are inpatient. Why wouldn't you want them to give informed consent? #StopOxevision
I do not buy that a company with considerable Oxford University Engineering prestige, venture capital clout and lots of investment in PR planned to rebrand all along and it's only when horror stories emerged that they did. #StopOxevision
Big lolz watching Oxehealth explain the rationale for their shiny rebrand to Lio, which has four distinct modular phases, all of which are the most opaque corporate bullshit phrases you could imagine. #StopOxevision
I'm struck by how little care and attention was offered to those who brought their lived experiences to NHS England when Oxevision began to power on wards. By the time a family has to testify at an inquiry, it's far too little, too late. #LampardInquiry #StopOxevision
Baroness Lampard and Nick Griffin have opened with a focus on the families we are going to hear from, emphasising the need for support, confidentiality undertakings, safeguarding measures and engaging with those who've lost a loved one in Essex inpatient mh setting. #Lampardinquiry #StopOxevision
NHS mental health trusts across the country will be watching, as will NHS England, because failures to care for and protect patients are nationwide. Our mental health system is broken and vision based monitoring technology cannot patch the faults. #StopOxevision
If you are having trouble absorbing the magnitude of what 2,000 patient deaths means, this picture is a crowd of 1,000. Double this many people died whilst under the care of Essex Partnership Trust, though Baroness Lampard acknowledged the true number harmed is under reported. #StopOxevision
Today I'm thinking of everyone giving evidence to the inquiry, families and Stop Oxevision coalition members, all my peers who have been harmed by this tech and in particular, Morgan Rose Harts loved ones. She was 18 years old.

Every day is a good day to #StopOxevision but next week is a week where it will count for a lot. 2,000 people have died over 20 years and each person has family and loved ones waiting to see justice done for those failures.

This coming Monday and Tuesday the Lampard enquiry will be hearing Stop Oxevision's evidence and Lio/Oxehealth and EPUT will be questioned live on their use of Oxevision and the deaths of patients. You can watch along on a live YouTube streaming link. #StopOxevision
Allowing for a bittersweet celebration of the reach, and the hope-filled vital advocacy from #StopOxevision #StopLIO #Oxevision #LIO bittersweet because the surveillance is so oppressive, disrespectful, and backed by so much power all while they'll be telling you it's for your own good,so efficient
In #mh the surveillance technology #Oxevision, now called #LIO, operates to reduce, rather than enhance, human care for persons when most vulnerable. Consent, privacy, respect, dignity are expended, for profits & contd failure to resource care. #StopOxevision #StopLIO

#Oxevision has already landed in US www.liohealth.com/us/news-and-... I have such huge regrets abt not finishng a letter/paper requestng reconsideratn by #mh leaders in CO. Can others help w US resistance effort, extending the amazng work of UK #StopOxevision?
‘The teenager was supposed to have been receiving one-to-one care but, the inquest heard, an infrared alert system - which warned staff if she had been in her bathroom for too long - was muted, and she had been left alone for 28 minutes’

Screenshot from the article linked at the top of this thread The news article misspells Oxevision&Oxeheath Alt text: “Laura Cozens is head of patient safety and quality at Oxyhealth, which provides the Oxyvision system. She said the tablet software had since been tweaked, so that the volume of the alert automatically rose after 60 seconds of sounding. The system was an "additional supportive tool and it shouldn't replace staff", she added.”
Oxevision will keep on making tweaks to their tech when made to but it won’t change the realities: the monitors strip away the focus of what real mental health care away from what it should be, perpetuate dehumanising attitudes and are not safe.
#StopOxevision
End
A young person was left alone in their distress, recorded by Oxevision, - ‘muted’ by NHS staff. Now they are gone.
It’s so far removed from the compassion and connection you would hope to see on a mental health ward.

Complacent and neglectful staff are emboldened to shirk their responsibilities with monitoring systems like Oxevision in place
..all while Oxevision promote their rollout across mental health trusts as a money saving opportunity and a win for patient safety. The mind baffles.

👇Professionals must be willing to set aside their own preoccupations to prioritise the needs of Mad and disabled people—especially when, as here, it’s about our basic safety (which is priority number 1 in trauma-informed care, by the way). #StopOxevision
“I was in a constant state of hypervigilance. I was completely traumatised.”
Oxevision cameras are being installed above patients’ beds in NHS mental health units causing fear, retraumatisation and even linked to deaths.
This isnt safety. This is surveillance.

Another death linked to Oxevision. Young Henok died after no Level 2 obs (15-minute checks) were carried out for an afternoon—the idea Oxevision had it covered likely contributed to the deadly irresponsibility of the staff. Keep it human #StopOxevision tinyurl.com/yc7cw3fr
This is how what is done in reality (MH services denial of what they are hearing and seeing you say) gets translated into AI.The erasure of someone dying by suicide as checks by humans were not done and left instead to a computer, is abhorrent. To delete it happened? Shame on them all

“In October 2024 Stop Oxevision received a draft copy of these principles. We shared numerous concerns about the document and offered (unpaid) advice on how to strengthen it. The majority of our concerns were ignored, and the issues remain in the published document”
