HMH, the largest not-for-profit healthcare network in New Jersey, delivers comprehensive, integrated care through 18 hospitals and over 500 locations, including ambulatory care centers, surgery centers, home health services, long-term care, and assisted living communities. Offering a wide range of services, from urgent care and physician practices to ambulance services and lifesaving air medical transport, the network is dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of its patients. Recently, two of its hospitals were ranked among New Jersey’s Top 10 Best Hospitals by U.S. News & World Report. Furthering its commitment to innovation and security, HMH has deployed ZeroEyes to enhance the safety of its 36,000 employees, 7,000 physicians, and 2 million patients annually.
“Hackensack Meridian Health is committed to the safety and security of our team members, patients, visitors, and guests,” said Jill Hodge, Vice President and Chief Safety Leader at Hackensack Meridian Health Network”Therefore we have prioritized the development of ZeroEyes as a proactive measure to promote a safe work environment.”
ZeroEyes’ HIPAA-compliant AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes Operations Center (ZOC), the industry’s only U.S.-based, fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by specially trained U.S. military and law enforcement veterans. If these experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and HMH staff as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
“Hospitals must remain accessible to visitors, so they are continually confronted with security challenges,” said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes. “It’s an honor and a privilege to be deployed at New Jersey’s largest hospital network, helping to ensure a safe and secure environment free of gun-related violence.”
