What Oxehealth does

LIO (formerly Oxehealth) is a UK-based health technology company that builds a camera-based patient monitoring and clinical workflow platform for inpatient mental health facilities. The platform integrates four modules — digital rounding, ambient monitoring, compliance reporting, and LIO eObs (electronic observations) — onto a single system that uses video analytics and infrared sensor readings to provide continuous, non-intrusive patient observation in psychiatric bedrooms. The company reports clinically validated outcomes including a 44% reduction in self-harm, 48% decrease in falls, 37% fewer assaults, and 71% reduction in 1:1 observations, supported by 19 patents and 20+ peer-reviewed publications built on a corpus of over 100 million hours of monitored patient care.

The company is headquartered in Abingdon, England (Bee House, Eastern Avenue, Milton Park) and holds ISO 13485 (medical devices), ISO 27001, ISO 27701, Cyber Essentials Plus, and NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit certifications. LIO is deployed across approximately 50% of NHS mental health trusts, 100+ customer sites, and 5,000 installations in the UK, and is beginning to expand into the US inpatient mental health market via direct enterprise sales, with SummitStone Behavioral Health as a named flagship partner. Revenue is generated through enterprise platform subscriptions to healthcare providers via a direct field sales model, with the sales cycle driven by clinical co-creation and peer-reviewed evidence rather than channel partners.

The company was originally founded as Oxehealth around 2009 (derived from a University of Oxford spin-out context), rebranded to LIO in 2024, and has raised approximately $22 million+ in disclosed equity funding across multiple rounds since 2012, with the largest being a 2021 round of approximately $13.9 million. The leadership team includes Todd Haedrich (CEO) and Lionel Tarassenko (founding director), and the company employs 51–100 people.

Core offering

LIO (formerly Oxehealth) provides a unified SaaS platform for inpatient mental health facilities that integrates digital rounding, ambient monitoring, and compliance reporting, alongside a separate LIO eObs electronic observations module. The platform uses camera-based technology with infrared sensor readings to give clinicians continuous visibility of patient wellbeing, flag safety events such as ligature incidents and self-harm, and support clinical protocol adherence. The offering is sold to NHS mental health trusts in the UK and inpatient mental health providers in the US, with a legacy Oxevision product that has now been superseded by the LIO platform.

Product overview

LIO (formerly Oxehealth) is a unified platform for inpatient mental health facilities that integrates three core modules—Digital Rounding, Ambient Monitoring, and Compliance Reporting—alongside LIO eObs for electronic observations. The platform was developed through 15+ years of partnership with mental health care providers and is designed to improve patient safety and care quality. The company's earlier product, Oxevision (a camera-based monitoring system), has been superseded by the LIO platform following the rebrand. LIO claims measurable outcomes including 44% reduction in self-harm, 48% decrease in falls, and 37% fewer assaults based on peer-reviewed research.

Direct peers

• AvaSure: US-based market leader in video-based patient safety monitoring for inpatient hospitals, with a comparable sitter/observer-replacement proposition. Most direct overlap with LIO's ambient monitoring module in US inpatient settings.
• Securitas Healthcare (formerly Stanley Healthcare): Provides patient elopement, wander, and falls monitoring solutions across inpatient and senior care. Directly comparable on inpatient patient-safety monitoring use cases that LIO targets in mental health.
• Caregility: Inpatient virtual care and continuous observation platform used by US health systems for remote nursing and patient monitoring. Overlaps with LIO's ambient monitoring and eObs workflow inside hospital rooms.
• Vocera (Stryker): Clinical communication and workflow platform deployed in inpatient settings, addressing similar care-team coordination and observation challenges that LIO targets in mental health units.

Broad incumbents

• Philips Healthcare: Global incumbent in patient monitoring and clinical informatics across ICU and general care. Competes with LIO at the broader inpatient monitoring layer, but does not specialize in psychiatric inpatient ambient monitoring.
• GE HealthCare: Diversified patient monitoring and hospital informatics vendor with broad installed base. Relevant adjacency through hospital command centers and patient monitoring, not a specialist in mental health inpatient workflows.
• Oracle Health (Cerner): Dominant EHR vendor with growing behavioral health and inpatient workflow modules. Relevant incumbent that bundles workflow tooling to large hospital systems where LIO must integrate.

Emerging players

• Quartet Health: US platform integrating behavioral health into physical health workflows for payers and providers. Adjacent mental health technology player, but focused on collaborative/outpatient integration rather than inpatient monitoring.
• Lyra Health: US mental health benefits platform serving employers and health plans. Comparable mental-health buyer segment and policy environment, but operates in outpatient EAP/counseling rather than inpatient monitoring.
• Radar Healthcare: UK-headquartered healthcare quality, compliance, and risk management platform with NHS trust penetration. Closest UK-native overlap on the compliance reporting and governance module of the LIO platform.
