The health system is the first in southwest
Florida to use the AI-based screening systems
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leading security technology
company pioneering AI-based screening to create safer experiences,
today announced its partnership with Lee Health, one of the largest
not-for-profit health systems in Florida. Lee Health uses Evolv’s
state-of-the-art Evolv Express® screening solution at the entrances
to three of its emergency departments, with plans to install Evolv
Express systems at three additional locations.
Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with artificial
intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat detection
at exceptional volume and speed. With the recent Evolv Express 7.0
software update, users experience enhancements to the detection
algorithm designed to reduce false alarms and a more intuitive
interface. The system allows people to walk through without having
to always stop to open bags or empty pockets. The technology can
tell the difference between certain threats and many everyday metal
items people carry with them, allowing for a smoother entry at a
place like a hospital’s emergency department, where speed is
critical.
Lee Health has installed Evolv Express at the emergency
department entrances to Lee Health Memorial Hospital, Lee Health
Gulf Coast Medical Center, and Lee Health Cape Coral Hospital. It
plans to install three more systems at Golisano Children’s Hospital
of Southwest Florida and Health Park Medical Center. With an
increase in violence towards staff at hospitals around the country,
as well as multiple incidents of gun violence at hospitals in the
U.S. in the first half of 2023, Lee Health joins other health
facilities turning to Evolv to add to their layered security
approach.
“We are acutely aware of escalating violence in healthcare
settings, and unfortunately, we have had our own instances where
weapons have made it inside our buildings,” said Robert Sherwood,
Lee Health’s director of public safety technology and
community-based care. “In the short time we’ve been using Evolv
Express, we’ve already seen success. The systems have identified
firearms and knives that otherwise would have been brought inside
our hospitals.”
Evolv has partnered with more than 350 hospitals across the
country, screening more than 600,000 hospital visitors every
day.
“Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are places of
healing, and no one in those buildings should feel threatened in
any way,” said Jason Grellner, vice president of healthcare for
Evolv Technology. “Evolv is proud to be a part of the security
posture at Lee Health, helping to contribute to a feeling of safety
for patients, staff, and visitors.”
