Xtract One Technologies Selected by Sentara Health for Weapons Detection Services
17 Mai 2023 - 2:20PM
Xtract One Technologies Inc. (TSX: XTRA) (OTCQX: XTRAC) (FRA:
0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) today announced its
partnership with Sentara Health to provide weapons detection
services at hospitals in Virginia, following a successful
deployment of Xtract One’s SmartGateway entry screening technology.
The deployment at two hospitals was part of the evaluation for
expansion to all 12 Sentara hospitals in Virginia and North
Carolina.
Violence against health care workers has grown, especially since
the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. About 74% of workplace violence
in the U.S. is committed against health care workers according to
the National Institutes of Health. While all Sentara facilities are
posted as firearm and weapon free, undetected weapons have the
potential to escalate confrontations into lethal conflicts.
Xtract One’s SmartGateway unobtrusively detects hidden firearms,
knives, and other weapons as they enter buildings. The solution’s
artificial intelligence (AI) sensors scan for prohibited items
without requiring the offloading of personal items.
“Our first promise to our patients, visitors and staff is
safety,” says Sherwin Stewart, system lead for the Xtract One
pilot. “We selected Xtract One’s solution because it aligns with
our goal to provide a safe and welcoming environment. We appreciate
the flexibility of Xtract One’s solution to adapt to our operations
rather than the other way around.”
In addition to healthcare facilities, SmartGateway is also
protecting entrances at arenas and stadiums around the country, as
well as casinos, workplaces, and schools. Its flexible
configuration allows the technology to work effectively in a range
of industries – from hospitals and healthcare facilities to
stadiums and arenas – with the common purpose of protecting patrons
and workers from mass casualty events.
“Xtract One’s SmartGateway is an ideal solution for
organizations like Sentara, whose priority is providing a positive
experience and exceptional overall patient care,” said Peter Evans,
Xtract One CEO. “Sentara evaluated several solutions on the market,
and we are very happy to deliver the customizable solution they
were seeking. Most compelling was our ability to align our system
with their specific needs. Our philosophy, and every aspect of the
business is oriented toward delivering that brand experience for
our customers.”
