Omnilert is scheduled to participate in the ASHE Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference in Minneapolis, MN, from August 2–5, 2026. The company will showcase its AI-powered gun detection and emergency communication systems, addressing the critical need for enhanced safety and preparedness within healthcare environments for facility leaders, safety teams, and security stakeholders.
Rethinking Security in Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare sites present unique security challenges due to their 24/7 operation, vulnerable patient populations, and expansive layouts that include multiple entrances, public spaces, parking areas, and interconnected buildings. Effective safety planning in such complex environments cannot rely on isolated tools or singular decision points. Organizations best equipped to handle critical incidents are those that can detect threats early, validate information quickly, and coordinate responses across various teams. Omnilert aims to facilitate this by connecting detection with rapid response capabilities.
AI Gun Detection for Hospitals and Health Systems
Omnilert's security approach for healthcare facilities integrates AI gun detection with existing camera infrastructures. This system is designed to identify visible firearms and generate immediate alerts, thereby reducing the time it takes for security teams to become aware of potential threats across large and busy settings. The primary goal is to provide earlier visibility, enabling security personnel to make informed decisions swiftly without interrupting hospital operations. AI detection can support various real-world workflows, from monitoring public entrances and common areas to providing situational awareness across broader campus spaces, minimizing stress on staff and visitors.
From Detection to Action: Emergency Response and Multi-Channel Notifications
Effective threat detection is only valuable when it translates into coordinated action. Omnilert combines its detection capabilities with automated emergency response and multi-channel notifications, empowering healthcare organizations to deploy appropriate communications and procedures rapidly when every second counts. The system supports swift, multi-channel alerts to keep staff informed and aligned during fast-paced situations. Response communications can be customized to facility-specific needs, including staff instructions, responder coordination, and broader incident updates, acknowledging that healthcare incidents are rarely uniform.
