LIO Unveils Comprehensive Platform for Inpatient Mental Health Care

LIO, formerly Oxehealth, has announced the launch of its next-generation platform designed to transform inpatient mental health services through advanced digital rounding, ambient monitoring, and compliance tools. The comprehensive solution addresses critical operational and clinical challenges facing mental health facilities while the company experiences rapid growth, expanding its U.S. footprint 500% since the beginning of 2025.

The platform utilizes a patented infrared system to remotely monitor patients, providing contactless measurement of sleep patterns and vital signs through FDA-cleared software. The technology delivers additional insights into patient activity without requiring physical contact or disturbing patients during their care. This innovative approach allows clinicians to conduct observations and maintain patient safety from any location within the unit, including shared spaces and corridors.

"This platform launch marks a pivotal moment for inpatient mental health care," said Todd Haedrich, CEO of LIO. "LIO represents a fundamental evolution of our capabilities, addressing the most pressing challenges facing providers today and for the next decade while helping facilities enhance patient care and improve operational efficiency."

The platform builds upon more than 15 years of collaboration with healthcare providers globally and large-scale deployment across hundreds of mental health facilities. Its effectiveness is supported by a robust, peer-reviewed evidence base demonstrating measurable improvements in safety, quality, and efficiency. Research indicates that a 100-bed facility implementing LIO can prevent more than 400 safety incidents annually, save 27,500 hours of staff time, and achieve approximately $700,000 in annual savings.

Beyond frontline clinical applications, the platform provides operational oversight capabilities for hospital leaders. These features ensure care delivery meets regulatory standards while maintaining consistency and safety across the facility. The system enables administrators to monitor compliance in real-time and identify areas for improvement in care delivery processes.

"As clinical providers, our job is to keep our patients safe and make sure they are receiving the best care possible," said Mike Genovese, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Access TeleCare and LIO Board Member. "LIO brings together everything we need in one platform — digital rounding, ambient monitoring and compliance reporting. It enables us to go beyond checking regulatory boxes; frontline staff and clinical leaders now have the insights to focus on what really matters: delivering exceptional patient care."

Implementation of the technology is designed to minimize disruption to existing operations, with typical unit installation completed within one to two weeks. This rapid deployment capability allows facilities to quickly realize the benefits of the platform without extended downtime or operational interruptions.

Looking ahead, LIO's development roadmap includes patient recognition capabilities for identity confirmation and enterprise-level analytics tools. These forthcoming features will help provider networks measure safety performance across multiple sites, detect operational bottlenecks, and improve staff efficiency at scale.

"This is just the beginning," added Haedrich. "We are building for the future of mental health — and we're inviting providers, partners, and innovators to join us."
