Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation.

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs.

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete.

MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination.

MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

Together, Armis and Viakoo provide a unified cybersecurity vulnerability management solution for unmanaged, medical, OT, and IoT devices - critical for any IT or security team.\u201d\n\n\u201cUnmanaged IoT devices represent the largest attack surface within an organisation,\u201d added Bud Broomhead, CEO of Viakoo. \u201cArmis has the most comprehensive solution to discover these devices; now, combined with Viakoo, customers can quickly and cost-effectively make these devices secure, visible, and capable of delivering their full value.\u201d\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>\nwww.viakoo.com<\/a>","post_title":"Armis and Viakoo partner to protect IoT and unmanaged devices","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"armis-and-viakoo-partner-to-protect-iot-and-unmanaged-devices","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 15:05:59","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 15:05:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4968","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4956,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-18 06:35:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:03","post_content":"Ping Identity has announced Project Covid Freedom, a free mobile vaccine passport that allows healthcare providers, businesses and individuals to verify Covid-19 test results and vaccination status. The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services.

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics.

MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics.

MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference.

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection.

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

Dr Hamilton described the incident as a \"major disaster\" and said there were difficulties around accessing patient records. She said with lab tests, a handwritten form was required, with a runner taking it to the lab, and it then being manually put in to be analysed, something she said increased the chance of \"delay and risk for error.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete.

MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference.

Reid said there are 2,000 systems used by the health service and more than 4,500 servers and HSE's national clinical advisor, Dr Vida Hamilton confirmed that the hack has \"affected every aspect of patient care\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Hamilton described the incident as a \"major disaster\" and said there were difficulties around accessing patient records. She said with lab tests, a handwritten form was required, with a runner taking it to the lab, and it then being manually put in to be analysed, something she said increased the chance of \"delay and risk for error.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

He told a HSE media briefing on Thursday that the response has been \"comprehensive\" since last Friday and will \"continue to be relentless.\" He added, \"We are now in the assessment phase where we're assessing all across the network\u2026 to understand the impacts across the network.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reid said there are 2,000 systems used by the health service and more than 4,500 servers and HSE's national clinical advisor, Dr Vida Hamilton confirmed that the hack has \"affected every aspect of patient care\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Hamilton described the incident as a \"major disaster\" and said there were difficulties around accessing patient records. She said with lab tests, a handwritten form was required, with a runner taking it to the lab, and it then being manually put in to be analysed, something she said increased the chance of \"delay and risk for error.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services.

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

HSE Chief Paul Reid said this \"stomach churning\" incident was a \u201chigh risk and high likelihood\u201d of the data that has been taken by hackers being leaked online, but also said that reports of the HSE patient data leaked online haven\u2019t been validated yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told a HSE media briefing on Thursday that the response has been \"comprehensive\" since last Friday and will \"continue to be relentless.\" He added, \"We are now in the assessment phase where we're assessing all across the network\u2026 to understand the impacts across the network.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reid said there are 2,000 systems used by the health service and more than 4,500 servers and HSE's national clinical advisor, Dr Vida Hamilton confirmed that the hack has \"affected every aspect of patient care\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Hamilton described the incident as a \"major disaster\" and said there were difficulties around accessing patient records. She said with lab tests, a handwritten form was required, with a runner taking it to the lab, and it then being manually put in to be analysed, something she said increased the chance of \"delay and risk for error.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

Together, Armis and Viakoo provide a unified cybersecurity vulnerability management solution for unmanaged, medical, OT, and IoT devices - critical for any IT or security team.\u201d\n\n\u201cUnmanaged IoT devices represent the largest attack surface within an organisation,\u201d added Bud Broomhead, CEO of Viakoo. \u201cArmis has the most comprehensive solution to discover these devices; now, combined with Viakoo, customers can quickly and cost-effectively make these devices secure, visible, and capable of delivering their full value.\u201d\n\nwww.armis.com<\/a>\nwww.viakoo.com<\/a>","post_title":"Armis and Viakoo partner to protect IoT and unmanaged devices","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"armis-and-viakoo-partner-to-protect-iot-and-unmanaged-devices","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 15:05:59","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 15:05:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4968","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4956,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-18 06:35:03","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:03","post_content":"Ping Identity has announced Project Covid Freedom, a free mobile vaccine passport that allows healthcare providers, businesses and individuals to verify Covid-19 test results and vaccination status. The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

The people behind the attack have been holding hostage the data at Ireland\u2019s publicly funded health care system, the HSE (Health Service Executive) forcing its entire information technology system to shut down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE Chief Paul Reid said this \"stomach churning\" incident was a \u201chigh risk and high likelihood\u201d of the data that has been taken by hackers being leaked online, but also said that reports of the HSE patient data leaked online haven\u2019t been validated yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told a HSE media briefing on Thursday that the response has been \"comprehensive\" since last Friday and will \"continue to be relentless.\" He added, \"We are now in the assessment phase where we're assessing all across the network\u2026 to understand the impacts across the network.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reid said there are 2,000 systems used by the health service and more than 4,500 servers and HSE's national clinical advisor, Dr Vida Hamilton confirmed that the hack has \"affected every aspect of patient care\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Hamilton described the incident as a \"major disaster\" and said there were difficulties around accessing patient records. She said with lab tests, a handwritten form was required, with a runner taking it to the lab, and it then being manually put in to be analysed, something she said increased the chance of \"delay and risk for error.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.

The move leverages Ping Identity\u2019s recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to share proof of Covid test results and vaccinations.\n\nAccording to the manufacturer, Project Covid Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way to verify test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages. Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare providers, then can securely share with participating employers, restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family and more, using a QR code.\n\nPing Identity believes that the difference between its solution and other vaccination passports, is the ability to provide a secure way to continuously manage test results and vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping Identity\u2019s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.\n\n\u201cAchieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,\u201d said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. \u201cUsing secure and private technology that\u2019s easily accessible from a smartphone, Project Covid Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.\u201d\n\n\u201cA return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share and verify vaccination status,\u201d added Gautam M Shah, vice president of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. \u201cSupporting Project Covid Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare and Ping Identity\u2019s common goal to use secure, highly accurate identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers alike.\u201d\n\nPing Identity\u2019s Covid Passport uses decentralised identity technology based on the ShoCard platform to provide verifiable proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or Android app.\n\nThe service is being offered for free to all governments, businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it is not required.\n\nHealthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to receive early access at ShoCard.com<\/a>.\n\nwww.pingidentity.com<\/a>","post_title":"Ping Identity unveils Project Covid Freedom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"ping-identity-unveils-project-covid-freedom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-18 06:35:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4956","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4806,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:42","post_content":"Plymouth Rock Technologies has announced the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems. MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that the manufacturer believes will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of Covid-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.\n\nThe transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations. While some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for Covid-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.\n\nThe PRT system differs significantly from the \u2018cool-box\u2019 approach. The PRT X1 MediMod uses an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.\n\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t a reactionary product to the Covid-19 outbreak,\u201d stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. \u201cOur engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of \u2018Project XCelerate\u2019. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue,\u201d added Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. \u201cUsing MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30\u201350-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO).\u201d\n\nwww.plyrotech.com<\/a>","post_title":"Plymouth Rock adds refrigerated medical transport solution to UAVs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"plymouth-rock-adds-refrigerated-medical-transport-solution-to-uavs","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-03 14:35:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4806","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4763,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:50","post_content":"Geutebr\u00fcck GmbH explains how its technology can help with GDPR compliant intelligent video analytics and software for the optimisation of hygiene procedures in hospitals and forensic institutions.\n\nmedia: istock.com\/Patramansky","post_title":"Geutebr\u00fcck highlights AI technology for hospital admission","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"geutebruck-highlights-ai-technology-for-hospital-admission","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_modified_gmt":"2021-02-01 12:19:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=4763","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4443,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-06 16:23:51","post_content":"Police are warning that a growing number of Covid-19 vaccine scams are appearing which can leave people facing substantial phone bills or give hackers access to personal bank accounts.

A cyberattack on Ireland\u2019s health system has paralysed the country\u2019s health services for a week, cutting off access to patient records, delaying Covid-19 testing, and forcing cancellations of medical appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people behind the attack have been holding hostage the data at Ireland\u2019s publicly funded health care system, the HSE (Health Service Executive) forcing its entire information technology system to shut down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE Chief Paul Reid said this \"stomach churning\" incident was a \u201chigh risk and high likelihood\u201d of the data that has been taken by hackers being leaked online, but also said that reports of the HSE patient data leaked online haven\u2019t been validated yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told a HSE media briefing on Thursday that the response has been \"comprehensive\" since last Friday and will \"continue to be relentless.\" He added, \"We are now in the assessment phase where we're assessing all across the network\u2026 to understand the impacts across the network.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reid said there are 2,000 systems used by the health service and more than 4,500 servers and HSE's national clinical advisor, Dr Vida Hamilton confirmed that the hack has \"affected every aspect of patient care\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Hamilton described the incident as a \"major disaster\" and said there were difficulties around accessing patient records. She said with lab tests, a handwritten form was required, with a runner taking it to the lab, and it then being manually put in to be analysed, something she said increased the chance of \"delay and risk for error.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers offer bail out tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The criminal gang threatened to release the stolen data online if the ransom demanded is not paid $20 million in bitcoin by Monday, 24th May to which the Irish Government and the HSE both stated it will not be paid, in line with State policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, recent reports suggest the gang (now known to be The Conti ransomware group) have now handed over a software tool for free. The Government says it is testing the tool and insists it did not, and would not, be paying the hackers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conti is still threatening to publish or sell data it has stolen unless a ransom is paid. On its darknet website, it told HSE: \"We are providing the decryption tool for your network for free. But you should understand that we will sell or publish a lot of private data if you will not connect us and try to resolve the situation.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was unclear why the hackers gave the tool (known as a decryption key) for free, said Health Minister Stephen Donnelly. \"No ransom has been paid by this government directly, indirectly, through any third party or any other way. Nor will any such ransom be paid,\" he told Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It came as a surprise to us. Our technical team are currently testing the tool. The initial responses are positive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowly but surely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement made yesterday afternoon, giving an update about health services affected by the hack, the HSE said: \u201cWhile we believe we will have lost some details of recent clinical activity, we anticipate that we will be able to recover older patient records.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HSE payroll systems have been prioritised for assessment and contingency arrangements have been worked on to ensure that HSE staff are paid this week. \u201cProgress continues to be made on getting servers cleaned, restored and back online,\" he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is in line with the pace we had anticipated, and is a stepped, methodical process, to mitigate the risk of re-infection. We are also looking at interim solutions to get some services back online in a proven safe way.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"A \"stomach churning\" hack, says Ireland's HSE Chief","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"a-stomach-churning-hack-says-irelands-hse-chief","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-05-21 16:31:39","post_modified_gmt":"2021-05-21 15:31:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=6212","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6190,"post_author":"48","post_date":"2021-05-20 14:47:41","post_date_gmt":"2021-05-20 13:47:41","post_content":"\n

Critical Arc and Gozio Health have announced a strategic partnership that has been designed to enable hospitals and health systems to enhance security and safety by adding CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone to Gozio\u2019s location based services platform.<\/p>\n

Nearly 75% of workplace assaults occur in a healthcare setting, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CriticalArc\u2019s SafeZone utilises Gozio\u2019s Bluetooth infrastructure to enable healthcare staff to call for emergency help or routine assistance in any location, indoors or out, using either their smartphones or a dedicated wearable alarm. The organisation\u2019s security dispatchers can pinpoint the precise locations of any person calling for help, and the locations of the nearest responders, making it easy for them to coordinate a response, typically 50% faster.   <\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare worker safety is a critical component of patient care and something that is top of mind for healthcare providers,\u201d said Glenn Farrant, CEO and Co-founder of CriticalArc. \u201cBy adding CriticalArc\u2019s safety solution to Gozio\u2019s wayfinding infrastructure, hospitals and health systems can confidently prioritise staff safety and more efficiently respond to workplace violence incidents. Increasing healthcare worker safety enables staff satisfaction, reduces turnover, and ultimately improves patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the hospitals and health systems we work with, the safety of staff is a top priority \u2013 even more so with the challenges of delivering care during a pandemic,\u201d added Joshua Titus, CEO and founder of Gozio Health. \u201cPartnering with CriticalArc was an obvious choice given their deep experience with security and incident response in the healthcare space. With the \u2018safety everywhere\u2019 protection that this partnership offers, healthcare workers can better focus on what they do best \u2013 provide care to their patients.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike a typical staff duress system, SafeZone helps healthcare providers keep their people safe with one unified system,\u201d concluded  Farrant. \u201cBy providing safety everywhere \u2013 on campus, in buildings, parking areas, community clinics, and even for staff making home visits \u2013 SafeZone is transforming the way healthcare providers manage the safety of their staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided not to refer the merger between healthcare solution providers, Imprivata and Isosec and has confirmed the deal has been abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMA found evidence during its initial \u2018Phase 1\u2019 investigation, which suggested that Imprivata and Isosec are important rivals in the healthcare management solutions sector. Ultimately, the motivation for the takeover meant the ultimate removal of a competitive threat from the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authority, if the merger had gone ahead as planned, there would have been a negative impact on the NHS and other healthcare providers, eventually resulting in taxpayers receiving poorer value for money in relation to these services. In addition, the companies\u2019 customers, including the NHS, would have limited options in terms of suppliers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 29th<\/sup> April, the CMA announced it would refer the deal to an in-depth Phase 2 investigation unless the parties offered acceptable undertakings to address these competition concerns. This deal will now not be referred as the transaction has been abandoned. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With hospitals currently managing a variety of pre-pandemic concerns, such as attempted patient elopement, prescription drug theft, unruly visitors and trespassing, Motorola Solutions has announced its Safe Hospitals solution - a technology ecosystem that combines video, data, analytics and voice technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of Safe Hospitals is to help hospitals proactively manage threats, drive operational efficiencies and create the environment of safety needed to provide the highest level of patient care. US health care system, SSM Health has deployed a Safe Hospitals solution from Motorola Solutions to mitigate complex safety and security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat sets our security solution apart is the simplicity and speed that come from using technologies that work together,\u201d said Todd Miller, SSM Health Regional Director of Security. \u201cWe can move quickly from detection to action to mitigate disruptions to our operations and patient care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The benefits of this are felt across the organisation \u2013 it gives our security officers more confidence, because they have the right resources in place to do their jobs in a truly professional manner, clinical staff feel more comfortable and safe in the workplace, which leads to greater retention and patient care, and we save time and money by deploying hospital resources efficiently.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining video and analytics, the Safe Hospitals solution can help hospitals analyse events, seamlessly communicate and respond appropriately in any situation. This kind of workflow is created by the hospital in a simple cloud-based platform,\u00a0 that allows the hospital to tailor how the technologies work together to meet their specific needs. The automation and integration of security technology in this new and meaningful way can be critical in saving minutes and seconds in every incident response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacing complex daily challenges, health care workers can only provide the highest level of care when an environment of safety is certain,\u201d said Sharon Hong, Vice President, Enterprise Technologies, Motorola Solutions. \u201cBy creating one connected ecosystem of technologies, our Safe Hospitals solution allows for quick and clear detection and analysis of what is happening on hospital premises, bringing the speed and awareness needed to address concerns and resolve incidents appropriately, helping staff get back to what they do best \u2013 taking care of their patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security & Safety Things (S&ST) offers a platform for smart cameras that enables the cameras to run a variety of different applications to perform different functions, much like a smartphone. The company states that when equipped with AI-enabled video analytics, smart cameras can help healthcare facility operators to manage day to day operations more efficiently, automate staff intensive processes and provide the ability to achieve more efficient, cost-effective operations.\n\nCompliance with patient privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR is top-of-mind for many medical facilities. Smart video analytics can deploy privacy mask applications to hide a customisable set of objects within the camera\u2019s field of view, such as faces or equipment such as medical monitors, laptops or keyboards \u2013 devices where sensitive health data is often displayed. Privacy masking is particularly vital in elder-care facilities and memory care units, where enhanced monitoring of elderly and dementia patients is crucial to their safety, without violating privacy.\n\nThe ability to detect spills and foreign objects in hallways and other highly trafficked areas contributes greatly to decreasing risk of patient harm from slips\/falls. Smart cameras reduce these occurrences by detecting spills or other hazards at the time of occurrence, enabling immediate action from staff. Simultaneously, applications can be used for fall detection and allow IoT cameras to monitor and analyse patient, visitor and staff behaviour to determine whether a person stands upright, lies on the floor or remains seated. These analytics allow staff to be alerted in case of unusual behaviour \u2013 making every walk from bed to toilet much safer, particularly for elderly and disabled patients.\n\nA major pain point in many medical facilities is quick access to emergency departments and overall chokepoints in patient admittance. When connected to patient admission and registration systems, smart cameras equipped with vehicle license plate recognition apps can automatically log arrival times, license plate numbers and patients \u2013 increasing operational speed and quality of patient admittance. For large hospitals and busy emergency access points, smart cameras can detect obstructions in driveways, which left unattended could cost approaching ambulances critical seconds. These same cameras offer hospital staff insights into how they can improve patient intake by detecting issues with vehicle and human traffic flow.\n\nwww.securityandsafetythings.com<\/a>","post_title":"S&ST shows how smart cameras can help healthcare","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"sst-shows-how-smart-cameras-can-help-healthcare","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-18 12:15:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/securityonscre.wpenginepowered.com\/?p=5361","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5357,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 10:16:04","post_content":"Panasonic i-PRO Sensing Solutions Corporation of America has launched i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals, a new initiative that supports VA hospitals and healthcare facilities with integrated surveillance and security solutions.\n\n\u201cVA hospitals have their own specific security, operations and health safety challenges that require individual attention and customised system solutions,\u201d said Bill Brennan, President, Panasonic i-PRO. \u201cWe developed the i-PRO Secure VA Hospitals programme to deliver the holistic system solutions that America\u2019s heroes, and the healthcare professionals caring for them, need to nurture the best possible outcomes.\u201d\n\nThe i-PRO Secure VA Hospital programme provides a wide range of solutions that can be tailored to meet each facility\u2019s needs.
