Xtract One Technologies (TSX: XTRA) (OTCQX: XTRAC) (FRA: 0PL)
(“Xtract One” or the “Company”), a leading technology-driven threat
detection and security solution that prioritizes the patron access
experience by leveraging AI, today announced its SmartGateway
System has been selected to protect key hospital locations in the
Indianapolis-based Community Health Network (“Community”). The
system underwent a rigorous and successful 30-day pilot program at
Community Hospital East, during which the technology demonstrated
its effectiveness in detecting weapons.
In collaboration with their partner,
Indiana-based CK2 Technologies, Community has chosen Xtract One’s
SmartGateway system to ensure weapons are not brought into
hospitals within their network, and to ensure a safe and comforting
environment for all patients, staff, and visitors. The system
replaces intimidating, traditional metal detectors and delivers
fast, reliable, and seamless patron screening. This solution
unobtrusively scans patrons for guns, knives, and other prohibited
items as they enter the facility, using AI-powered sensors to
detect threats without invading patrons’ sense of privacy and
comfort.
With Xtract One, Community will be able to build
upon their facilities’ existing security measures, and ensure they
deliver quick and safe entry experiences for all employees,
patients, and visitors entering their hospitals. This strategic
partnership underscores a commitment to enhancing safety across
multiple Community locations, and a significant milestone in
improving healthcare facility security.
“As an organization, we pride ourselves in
delivering exceptional and convenient healthcare services to our
community. We’re excited to partner with Xtract One to help bring
safety to the forefront of our facilities and our patrons’
experiences,” said Kevin Mahan, Vice President of Security and
Safety for the Community Health Network. “We had concerns about
weapons entering our facilities but had no visibility as to the
quantity or concern level. During the pilot period, the Xtract One
system successfully detected and alerted on weapons of all sizes,
including firearms and pocketknives. This knowledge, together with
the data insights provided to us when using the solution made it
very clear this was the right approach to ensuring a secure
environment for all our patients. With Xtract One, we’re able to
focus on our work delivering optimal healthcare experiences to our
community, knowing that our employees, patients, and visitors are
safe when they enter our facilities.”
The SmartGateway will soon be available at
multiple Community hospitals including Community Hospital North,
Community Behavioral Health, Community Fairbanks Recovery Center,
Community Heart and Vascular Hospital, Community Hospital East,
Community Hospital South, Community Hospital Anderson, and
Community Howard Regional Health.
“In the past year alone, various regions across
the country have seen nursing strikes and demands by medical
personnel for a safer workplace environment. Healthcare
professionals have expressed that they no longer feel safe at work,
and are choosing to leave the profession,” said Peter Evans, CEO of
Xtract One. “With the SmartGateway, we can help healthcare
facilities like the Community Health Network create a warm,
welcoming healthcare environment across their facilities that both
fits their aesthetic, and increases the safety for employees,
patients, and visitors.”
