Oxehealth is a global leader in vision-based patient monitoring. We help mental health clinicians to deliver safer, higher-quality, and more efficient care.
Our Oxevision system came out of Oxford University and is the result of a decade-long research programme in collaboration with patients, NHS nurses and doctors. It supports clinicians by complementing patient care with 24/7 safety data. For patients, it means they are safer, have undisturbed sleep, and greater privacy and dignity.
The technology incorporates a regulated medical device that operates with an infrared-sensitive camera. It helps staff visually confirm that a patient is safe, measure their pulse and breathing rate without disturbing them, and notify staff of patient safety incidents so they can intervene proactively.
Our Oxehealth Service supports customers to deploy and use Oxevision to create proactive, data-enabled systems of care that deliver not only a step change on deploying the system but also year-on-year continuous improvements in safety and quality.
Oxehealth’s ongoing research continues to develop novel technology to transform mental health diagnosis and care. Oxevision is relied on by over 50% of NHS England’s mental health trusts as well as leading acute hospitals, care homes, prisons and police forces in the US and Europe.

Skin Analytics are helping more people survive skin cancer.
Founded in 2012 by Neil Daly, Skin Analytics builds AI interventions that create world-leading skin cancer pathways.
Skin Analytics’ AI as a medical device, DERM, is the only Class III CE marked medical device for dermatology. DERM is safe, evidence-backed and independently evaluated; it assesses, classifies and triages dermoscopic images of skin lesions for skin cancer with comparable accuracy to dermatologists.
When leveraged in skin cancer pathways, dermatology teams can address the gap between dermatology demand and capacity by reserving clinical capacity, speeding up patient access to diagnosis, and reducing wait lists. DERM provides a scalable and sustainable solution for our health system that centres better patient outcomes.
Deployed across primary and secondary care, Skin Analytics has been trusted by the NHS since 2020. During that time, Skin Analytics has 26 NHS deployments where DERM has been used in pathways that have seen over 160,000 patients, finding more than 14,000 cancers.
Skin Analytics are proud to pioneer a market-leading approach to post-market surveillance and performance monitoring for AIaMD. We continuously monitor, report and publish our performance across all partner sites. Our performance targets are based on clinical performance published in the literature and agreed by our Clinical Advisory Committee which is composed of leading UK and international dermatologists and health economics experts.
