A patient’s perspective: Oxevision* is retraumatising

* now called LIO health
An Oxevision unit which is a camera housed in a black and white box is covered with two bits of paper. Written on them is “Oxevision is retraumatising”

Are North London NHS Foundation Trust about to install Oxevision? This slide was shared with us recently.

North London Trust is the merging of Camden and Islington with Barnet, Enfield and Haringey - the former of which stopped using Oxevision after complaints
Some examples • We have started implementing Patient Knows Best that provides people access to information in their clinical records through the NHS app. • We are using digital tools to record and analyse physical health observations on our wards • Soon we will be able to order blood tests and receive results directly into our patient record system • We are exploring digital tools to monitor vital signs of inpatients in a way that does not compromise their privacy and dignity but will save lives • We will start using Artificial Intelligence tools to reduce the admin burden on staff to free up their time to spend with service users

It is important to remember that Oxevision DOES NOT sound an alert to a deterioration in vital signs.

Staff can perform a manual spot check of pulse and breathing rate through the camera, which is reliable if the patient is still.
FAQ Does Oxevision continually collect data on pulse and breathing rate? Answer Oxevision does not continually collect data on pulse and breathing rate in a way that is reliable measuring or monitoring. The system will attempt to continuously gather pulse and respiration rate if someone is in the room and this data can be turned into a graph to identify trends. However Oxehealth states that this feature "cannot be used to measure or monitor pulse rate or breathing rate" and it "is not intended to be used as a continuous vital signs monitor". Despite confusion from both staff and patients, it's important to remember that Oxevision does not alert staff to a change in vital signs.

Imagine being unwell and watched through a camera, with only a reclining chair to sleep on.

This is a reality.

We know some Trusts have spent millions on this system- only to watch a patient sleep on a chair? In what world is this acceptable?

A room with an oxevision unit attached to the ceiling pointing down at a reclining chair made up with two pillows and a blanket. The room is empty.
