XTRACT ONE TECHNOLOGIES SELECTED BY COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK FOR WEAPONS DETECTION SERVICES

Xtract One Technologies Inc.'s SmartGateway System has been selected to protect key hospital locations in the Indianapolis-based Community Health Network. 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 its partner, Indiana-based CK2 Technologies, Community has chosen Xtract One's SmartGateway system to ensure weapons are not brought into hospitals within its 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 artificial-intelligence-powered sensors to detect threats without invading patrons' sense of privacy and comfort. With Xtract One, Community will be able to build upon its 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 health care facility security.

"As an organization, we pride ourselves in delivering exceptional and convenient health care 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 pocket knives. 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 health care 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. Health care professionals have expressed that they no longer feel safe at work, and are choosing to leave the profession," said Peter Evans, chief executive officer of Xtract One. "With the SmartGateway, we can help health care facilities like the Community Health Network create a warm, welcoming health care environment across their facilities that both fits their aesthetic, and increases the safety for employees, patients and visitors."
