Healthcare
Provide emergency care with peace of mind.
Violence in healthcare settings has increased, with more incidents involving items used as weapons. Metrasens is helping hospitals reduce these incidents—keeping weapons and other risk items out so patients, visitors and staff are safe, and creating an environment that allows patients to get the care they need while providing a secure environment for staff to operate within.
