XTRACT ONE SECURES SMARTGATEWAY CONTRACT WITH LEADING NATIONWIDE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TO BOLSTER SAFETY AT CLINICS ACROSS THE MIDWEST

A leading nationwide health care provider with close to 600 clinics has selected Xtract One Technologies Inc.'s SmartGateway solution to enhance safety and security at its health centres. The deployment will begin at five locations in Minnesota's Minneapolis-St. Paul area, with plans to initially expand into additional clinics across Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The health care provider turned to Xtract One in response to the heightened safety concerns of today's world and health care environments, and a prioritized focus on protecting patients, doctors and staff. As organizations navigate escalated threat levels, the organization's leadership accelerated plans to implement modern security technologies that could help deter and detect threats without compromising the dignified, compassionate experience its health centres are known for. SmartGateway was ultimately selected for its modern, non-invasive technology and sleek design that protects individuals without creating a cold, intimidating experience.

"Everyone deserves to feel safe when they seek care, and that includes the patients, providers and staff who walk through this organization's doors every day," said Peter Evans, chief executive officer of Xtract One. "We are honoured to support this leading health care provider as it strengthens clinic security across multiple states, and eventually throughout the country, as part of our commitment to delivering unobtrusive, intelligent solutions that help health care organizations reduce risk and focus on delivering exceptional care."

The decision to move quickly on this deployment came from a very real concern for the safety of the clinic's patients, clinicians and staff. The organization needed a solution that could help identify potential threats before they enter the health centres, without creating an environment that feels like a cold security checkpoint. Xtract One's SmartGateway offers the right balance of aesthetic design, protection and compassion health care organizations need in today's world.

SmartGateway elevates security operations by delivering fast, accurate weapons detection tailored for high-throughput environments. Using advanced AI-powered multisensor technology, the system discreetly scans individuals for weapons and other prohibited items without requiring them to remove personal belongings, enabling a smooth, dignified entry experience. Unlike traditional metal detectors, SmartGateway is designed to be welcoming, non-intrusive and privacy-conscious, reducing false alerts and streamlining the screening process. Backed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's SAFETY Act Designation as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT), the SmartGateway portfolio demonstrates proven effectiveness in protecting public spaces against modern threats.
