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”

LIO have caused harm to vulnerable NHS patients.
LIO published questionable research and got their ethics approval pulled.
LIO built their evidence base on patients, including children, who could not give/withdraw informed consent
LIO are venture capital vultures.

Oxehealth is launching in Australia this month under the new name, LIO. From the marketing material it seems they are doing what they initially did in the UK, before our campaign, and not mentioning the word camera.

Finally, inspired by Ruha Benjamin’s call for a radical reimagining of what technoscience might look like outside of carcerality, we imagine how mental health technologies could be otherwise. Enter: FishVision cameras

While drawing attention to the oppressive & violent nature of technologies such as Oxevision (now LIO), we ultimately reject the notion that mental health technologies are, in themselves, either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but inherently entangled with the violent injustices of psychiatry and its carceral tools

We draw on concepts from crip technoscience together with abolitionist perspectives on technology to argue for the necessity of a Mad technoscience; an account of how Mad people – particularly those of us incarcerated – resist, repurpose, and (re)imagine technologies used on us against our will
