Healthcare facilities across the U.S. face significant hurdles in ensuring the safety and security of patients, visitors and professional staff. As seen across the country, hospitals and healthcare campuses are not immune from acts of violence or crime — from the emergency room to the parking lots. Likewise, hospitals need to be constantly vigil to protect staff members at their facilities, which are open 24/7. In addition, medical providers are tasked with handling the complex issues surrounding mental health, drug dependency and violent crime as part of their daily activities.

The Veterans Health Administration, an organization of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, is the country’s largest integrated health care system with over 170 health care facilities across the country staffed by nearly 400,000 employees that care for over 9 million beneficiaries – the heroes that serve our country and the families that support them. It is the nation’s duty to provide safe spaces for VA healthcare professionals and the lives of vulnerable individuals who rely on the government’s medical system. A robust communication system, such as the K1 suite of devices offered by Knightscope, expands emergency communications to provide a lifeline to people in remote areas experiencing some form of distress.

Hospitals and healthcare professionals looking for innovative security solutions or improved emergency communications for campuses in the U.S. are encouraged to book a discovery call or meeting now at to learn more about Knightscope’s autonomous security robots and blue light emergency communication systems.
