Xtract One selected to secure San Mateo Medical Center

Xtract One Technologies announced its SmartGateway has been selected by San Mateo Medical Center, located in San Mateo, CA, to strengthen the facility’s security and provide AI-powered weapon detection. Xtract One’s technology-driven threat detection and security solutions are designed to enhance safety for patients, visitors, and staff at the medical center, starting with the main campus with plans to later expand to all satellite clinics.

This deployment comes at a critical time for healthcare facilities, following California’s recent Assembly Bill (AB) 2975. With hospitals now being required to implement weapons detection screening policies at key entrances as a minimum, San Mateo Medical Center chose to deploy Xtract One’s technology.

“With violent incidents being five times more frequent in healthcare facilities than in other industries, we recognize the unique challenge hospitals face in ensuring a safe environment,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One. “We’re looking forward to working with San Mateo Medical Center and to showcasing how well SmartGateway supports healthcare facilities’ needs.”

“Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone who enters our facility so that we can focus on what truly matters: our patients’ well-being,” said Robert Blake, COO of San Mateo Medical Center. “Deploying Xtract One’s technology at our main campus reinforces that commitment. After extensive testing of various systems, we found SmartGateway’s innovative technology to be the most effective for our facility’s needs, allowing us to stay ahead of potential threats in order to maintain a secure and welcoming campus for everyone.”
