Concealed weapons detection develops safer
experiences for nurses and doctors as well as visitors and
patients
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the modern security technology
company transforming threat and weapons detection to create safer
experiences, continues to see growth in the healthcare sector as
hospital leaders add advanced weapons detection to their safety
plans.
With over 70% of workplace violence taking place in a healthcare
setting and the majority of emergency physicians saying violence in
the emergency department harms patient care, the need to address
staff safety has become paramount for many hospital
administrators.
Evolv added over a dozen new healthcare customers in the second
half of last year, including Parkland Health, one of the largest
public hospital systems in the United States, Windsor Regional
Health, the 15th largest hospital in Ontario, and the University of
Missouri Health Care. Today, Evolv’s Express® concealed weapons
detection system, which uses advanced sensors and AI to distinguish
everyday items from threats as people move through security at the
pace of life, is being used in more than 250 hospital buildings to
screen over 400,000 hospital visitors every day, compared to just
40,000 a year ago.
David Musyj, president and CEO of Windsor Regional Hospital said
the Express scanners, which were installed in October, have proven
to be a huge success since they've been installed with over 1,000
weapons being detected so far. “We have successfully stopped a
significant number of dangerous items from entering our facility
with this new system. Protecting our providers and working to
create a safer environment enables the best possible patient
care.”
Windsor Regional Hospital’s emergency room operations manager
Lisa Gawdunyk, RN added, “I can positively say that not only have
we seen noted improvements to our recruitment and retention of
staffing in the emergency department, but also improvements to
overall staff morale. They feel supported and safe. Patients and
families have also been appreciative of the steps WRH is doing to
ensure their safety.”
“Since we’ve installed the Express systems in June, we’ve
stopped over 500 guns and 200 knives from entering our facility,”
said Brian Wade, director of security at Temple University Health.
“We are trying to provide a safe environment for everyone who comes
into our hospital and Evolv has been an active layer in our
security plan.”
“We had a lot of ED staff telling us they were very concerned
about safety. They wanted to be able to take care of patients and
not worry about their safety. When the ED nursing staff found out
that we were putting the Express systems in place, they were very
excited,” said David Hall, manager of security services at Southern
Ohio Medical Center.
“As business leaders today, we are constantly challenged to look
at new ways to create environments of safety from a cultural,
physical, psychological, and technology perspective,” said Michael
Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health in New York. “Our
people are our number one investment. Creating safer environments
for them to collaborate and do their best work is essential.”
In addition to hospitals, Evolv’s Technology is used by more
than 600 customers worldwide, including over 40 major league sports
teams, schools, iconic venues, arenas, and leading theme parks.
Evolv Express has screened more than 1 billion people.
