Xtract One was recently featured in a Canadian Security roundtable where CEO Peter Evans joined industry leaders to discuss the rising violence in Canadian healthcare facilities. Evans shared insight into how modern technologies—especially AI-powered weapons detection—are helping hospitals prevent incidents before they escalate. He highlighted data from a recent pilot showing 5.6% of entrants carrying weapons, with another 5% turning away at the door after seeing the system.
The panel agreed that today’s challenges require a combination of training, policy, and advanced technology, with Evans noting that weapons detection is quickly becoming a mandatory standard across hospitals in the U.S. and a critical part of the future of health-care security.
