There is a bit more in this document too, basically saying "Oxevision is expensive so to install it we'll have to cut staff" - this all discusses the business case, North Staffordshire @combinednhs.bsky.social did go on to install Oxevision and continue to use it drive.google.com/file/d/1epP1...

NSCH @combinednhs.bsky.social refer to Coventry and Warwickshire partnership and the savings they in turn apparently made by using Oxevision for conducting remote patient observations.

Both savings on bank staff by using Oxevision instead of 1:1 observations +reducing the minimum staffing numbers

Exhibit A (anyone remember what EPUT said yesterday about Oxevision not replacing in person observations and oxehealth not using EPUT materials to sell their product?)

And indeed, today, you are platforming the company selling this technology at your conference in Northern Ireland

NHS confederation @nhsconfed.org

Sure, share the BBC news coverage of the Lampard Inquiry/ Oxevision but you have platformed Oxehealth / LIO health countless times and have them (and the legal firm representing them) listed as 'associates' on your website. Do you see the irony?

Sharing my banner here as I haven't been well enough to go to any of the pride events near me this year (and they're not very accessible to me) but I will still share the rage, pride, joy and grief from afar
Placard reads: PROTECT TRANS AND DISABLED LIVES against a trans pride flag with the colours of the disability pride flag overlayed in a diagonal across the placard

People always ask what I do with it. I just carefully sort it into colours and keep it in many different jars (my lifelong favourite activity of ✨sorting things into piles✨)
Jars of sea glass sorted into colours, lots of white/seafoam, green. Some brown. Much less red and blue.

Who wants to see some of my summer sea glass hauls? (I'm showing you anyway). The two photos of the sorted sea glass are each from just one day's collection at Charmouth (two separate days) 🌀💎
White skinned hand holding a jar of sea glass in blues, pink, red and bright green Lots of pots and dishes of sea glass sorted into colour. There is lots of green and white but only a few blue pieces A mix of sea glass in a sieve, mostly green, white and brown Sea glass sorted into colours, there is loads of white and green, less brown and just a few bits of blue, yellow and red. Also some bits of coloured pottery and a tiny fossil

Amongst the horrors of this year, this artwork came from my experience of giving evidence to the Lampard Inquiry, a public inquiry investigating the deaths of over 2000 people under Essex mental health services – each of whom was catastrophically failed by the very institution meant to protect them.
Photo of a sheer fabric artwork hanging from a washing line with a white wall and blue sky in the background. The artwork is a sheer white fabric with text stitched in red and green fabric. The text reads: HOW DO WE PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THOSE WHO FAIL TO PROTECT US. As the fabric is sheer, the text can be read clearly in the shadow of the artwork. In this image the words PROTECT US are very clear in the shadow..

This is a long shot (enjoy the cute bagpuss pictures in any case) but does anyone have a cat without any teeth?
She only had two teeth left before but seems to be struggling a bit with her usual whiskas since she had the last teeth out. the cat soup I bought is going down well but is so expensive

Oh wait, 38 patients?!

Why have staff supporting patients when you can just use AI? What could possibly go wrong?
Respond quickly to patients in need AvaSure’s intelligent virtual platform allows remote clinicians to react fast to acuity alerts, such as sepsis alerts or deterioration algorithms, and then to engage and collaborate with bedside teams across units and facilities. Nursing leaders rely on our high-quality video feeds and computer vision to monitor up to 38 patients at a time, enhancing rapid response and improving patient quality.

The language is so incredibly dehumanising and objectifying.

The pesky I'll patients wasting staffs' time and energy again
Staff Optimization Give clinicians their time back Minimize the impact of rising labor costs, vacancy rates, and stressful schedules with virtual sitting you can trust. AvaSure reduces the need for 1:1 sitting by 75% or more, freeing up clinician’s time and headspace for other valuable work.

The battle against Oxevision is an endless battle with countless companies selling various digital painter monitoring systems

This one (Ava Sure) used in the US, uses AI to detect patients falling or leaving the room

One person watches 16 (!!) people at a time

Screenshot from Ava Sure website: text readsIntelligent Virtual Care Monitor, alert, and act from anywhere With AvaSure, a single observer can safely monitor up to 16 patients at time. By leveraging computer vision with human-in-the-loop technology that alerts them to potential falls and other high-risk events, clinicians can stay focused and act fast when they’re needed.
