Experts question evidence for Oxevision mental health monitoring system
At the Lampard Inquiry in the UK, specialists said there is not enough proof that Oxevision improves safety in mental health wards.
Specialists told the Lampard Inquiry in the United Kingdom that evidence is limited for Oxevision, a monitoring system used in mental health settings. The hearing examined whether the technology helps keep patients safe.
According to BBC Health, experts said the system’s benefits have not been shown clearly enough in the available research. The inquiry is looking into deaths and care failures in mental health services.
Oxevision is designed to monitor patients in wards, including through sensors and cameras, so staff can check on people without entering rooms as often. Critics have raised concerns about privacy and whether the system can be relied on in practice.
The inquiry continues to hear evidence from clinicians, researchers and families affected by mental health care failures. It is one part of a wider review of how services use technology in inpatient settings.
