Hospitals and healthcare facilities face an overwhelming challenge in dealing with the dangers of workplace violence and security threats, which could jeopardize the safety of their staff, visitors, and patients. While dedicated security and operations teams are usually responsible for ensuring the well-being of everyone in their care, the use of conventional metal detectors can inadvertently exacerbate the problem. Lengthy lines at entryways due to these detectors create an environment vulnerable to potential threats, possibly amplifying the anxiety experienced by patients and visitors.

Convergint has partnered with Evolv to provide healthcare facilities with the most advanced touchless security screening solution available—Evolv Express®. Utilizing  AI technology, Evolv Express revolutionizes the visitor experience while improving security operations.

Rapid and streamlined threat screening

Evolv Express offers a streamlined screening experience, capable of processing approximately 4,000 individuals per hour, which is ten times faster than many traditional metal detectors, helping create a line-free experience. With touchless technology, there’s no need for individuals to always stop and empty pockets or remove bags, making the screening process more efficient.

Tailored flexibility for your needs

Achieve flexibility in deployment, accommodating both indoor and outdoor screening needs. With its user-friendly design, it can be set up and moved as required. Whether screenings are conducted at the entrance of a building or in an open area, this solution is adaptable to various environments. Additionally, there are multiple deployment options provided, allowing users to choose between single- or dual-lane configurations based on specific requirements.

Operate with ease for expedited resolutions

This solution provides a real-time view of the location of potential threats on a person or their bag. By utilizing cutting-edge technology, faster resolution of security concerns while minimizing the need for physical contact is provided.  Security personnel can swiftly identify and pinpoint any suspicious items or objects, allowing for prompt action to be taken. This real-time tracking capability not only enhances overall security but also reduces the necessity for frequent intrusive physical searches, ensuring a more comfortable and respectful experience for individuals undergoing screening.

Integration & performance analytics

By integrating with a facilities’ broader security infrastructure, Evolv Express provides comprehensive visibility and control. Utilize the analytics dashboard to optimize staffing, training, and traffic flow across all entrances, at different times of the day, and during peak and off-peak periods. This data-driven approach empowers users to make informed decisions for maximizing efficiency and ensuring a seamless experience for staff, visitors, and patients.
