XTRACT ONE EXPANDS HEALTHCARE FOOTPRINT WITH PETERBOROUGH REGIONAL HEALTH CENTRE DEPLOYMENT

Xtract One Technologies Inc.'s Xtract One SmartGateway has been selected by Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) for facility entrance deployment following a successful pilot and evaluation period. The selection reflects PRHC's leadership and commitment to exploring innovative approaches to health care safety and adds to Xtract One's growing presence in health care environments. This selection in Ontario follows previous Canadian deployments across Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

Recognized as a leading innovator in Ontario's health care system serving a regional referral population of 600,000 people, PRHC is taking a pro-active approach to addressing modern security challenges. The organization recently convened a security forum for health care leaders across the province of Ontario to collaborate on best practices, followed by a hands-on, three-week pilot to evaluate emerging technologies in a real-world clinical environment. After the comprehensive pilot and extensive testing, PRHC selected SmartGateway for its ability to detect a broad range and large volume of weapons, ease of use, and seamless integration into the hospital's operational flow. The deployment will take place at the facility's emergency department entrance. PRHC's decision reinforces the organization's role as a leader in evaluating and adopting innovative approaches to health care safety across Ontario.

"Health care organizations are increasingly embracing digital transformation strategies that enhance safety without compromising the patient experience," said Peter Evans, chief executive officer of Xtract One. "Our work with Peterborough Regional Health Centre demonstrates how forward-thinking providers can balance intelligent screening technology that pro-actively addresses modern threats with the openness and accessibility that are essential to care environments. We're proud to support PRHC as it sets a new standard for health care safety in Ontario while contributing to the growing adoption of advanced AI-driven solutions. As more organizations follow in PRHC's footsteps, we look forward to expanding our provincial and health care presence."

"As the Peterborough region's largest employer, PRHC views care and safety as inseparable. We believe that every team member, patient, family member and care-giver deserves to feel safe and supported from the moment they walk through our doors," said Jennifer Taylor, vice-president and chief financial officer at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. "SmartGateway is a solution we're proud to introduce in our emergency department, where it will support us to uphold this standard for patients and families, who depend on us to be there when they need us most."

SmartGateway delivers intelligent, high-throughput security screening using advanced artificial-intelligence-powered sensors that discreetly detect weapons and prohibited items as individuals enter a facility. The system enables fast, accurate screening without requiring individuals to stop, divest personal belongings or undergo secondary screening. Unlike traditional metal detectors, SmartGateway supports a continuous flow of movement, allowing health care facilities to maintain efficient ingress even during peak periods. By combining robust detection capabilities with a frictionless user experience, SmartGateway helps create safer environments while preserving the welcoming, patient-centred atmosphere critical to modern health care settings.
