What does the evidence say about tech-based monitoring in mental health wards? Over the last year, the Lampard Inquiry has been scrutinising the evidence around the ethics, implementation, use, and harms caused by such a practice. Following the conclusion of the Inquiry’s first set of hearings dedicated to potential interim recommendations, Associate Christina Ashibogu rounds up the critical evidence heard so far regarding the widespread use and potential misuse of the Oxevision technology at EPUT, highlighting urgent concerns around patient safety, consent models and clinical effectiveness. Observations are a critical part of patient treatment, but they have to be done according to individual need and with patient safety and dignity at the forefront of care. #LampardInquiry #MedicalNegligence #LegalSupport
