About Oxehealth

LIO (formerly Oxehealth) is a health technology company specializing in intelligent patient monitoring for inpatient mental health facilities. Founded in 2012 at the University of Oxford's Institute of Biomedical Engineering under the leadership of Professor Lord Lionel Tarassenko, the company developed a pioneering approach to contactless patient monitoring that established an entirely new category of health technology. The LIO platform integrates three core capabilities: digital rounding for efficient data collection and protocol adherence, ambient monitoring using ceiling-mounted infrared cameras and AI-powered analysis to provide continuous patient insights without wearables or wires, and compliance reporting that gives leaders visibility into operations and care quality. The system captures vital signs, monitors patient activity, tracks sleep patterns, and provides safety notifications—all through contactless technology that prioritizes patient dignity and privacy. LIO serves mental health providers across the US and UK, with over 100 customer sites and 5,000 installations supporting more than 100 million hours of patient care. The platform has been developed through 15+ years of collaboration with mental health care providers and co-created with patients, carers, clinicians, and leaders. Clinical evidence demonstrates significant improvements in safety outcomes, including 44% reduction in self-harm, 48% decrease in falls, 37% fewer assaults, and 71% reduction in 1:1 observations. The company holds 19 patents and has published over 20 peer-reviewed studies validating its real-world impact.
