Evolv Technology (EVLV) Partners with Temple Health for Weapons Detection Screening

Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI-based weapons detection security screening, today announced its partnership with Temple University Health. Temple is using Evolv’s state-of-the-art Evolv Express® screening solution at the entrances to Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia.

Evolv Express uses powerful sensor technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide safer, more accurate threat detection as people walk through security at the pace of life. Hospitals around the country have experienced an increase in violence towards staff. With an increase in gun violence in the area around Temple University Hospital in North Philadelphia, hospital leadership added Evolv to address increased anxiety from its staff. The hospital uses Evolv Express systems to screen visitors at four of its entrances.

“The driving factor for us to use Evolv was to increase safety and security for our patients, visitors, and staff,” said Brian Wade, Temple University Health System’s director, environment of care, emergency management, and security. “We know it is working because the reaction from our nurses has been extremely positive. People are happy they don’t have to worry about their safety and can focus more on their work.”

Evolv Express allows people to walk right through the screening system without always having to open bags or empty pockets, reducing lines and keeping entry smooth at places where speed matters, such as a hospital. The technology distinguishes between potential threats and the everyday metal items people carry with them such as cell phones and keys.

“Evolv is proud to partner with Temple Health and to be a part of the security solution at Temple University Hospital,” said Jason Grellner, vice president of healthcare for Evolv Technology. “We share a mission in working to create a safer environment for patients, care takers, and their loved ones, as they work and heal.”

Temple Health joins a growing number of healthcare organizations across the country using Evolv Express. Temple University Hospital is the latest Philadelphia facility working to keep people safer by using Evolv, including Citizens Bank Park, where Evolv is the Preferred Fan Screening Provider of Major League Baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies.
