Protecting the Vulnerable While Preserving Privacy

The Challenge

Healthcare environments present some of the most complex safety and security challenges:

  • Protecting patients, visitors, and staff
  • Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive areas
  • Mitigating workplace violence
  • Safeguarding controlled substances
  • Complying with HIPAA, patient rights, civil liberties, and privacy laws

From hospitals and urgent care centers to LTC, behavioral health, and group homes, each facility requires tailored, privacy-first solutions.

Biometrica helps healthcare institutions achieve this — without mass surveillance.

Solutions for Healthcare & Care Facilities

Provides immediate alerts when individuals with relevant criminal histories, active warrants, or known threats enter restricted areas or the facility perimeter.
Ideal for:

  • Emergency departments
  • Behavioral and psychiatric wards
  • Controlled substance storage
  • Pediatrics and neonatal units
  • Visitor access control points

Identifies:

  • Missing or trafficked individuals
  • Runaway youth
  • Persons classified as at-risk by law enforcement who may enter healthcare facilities during crises

Enables facilities to receive notifications of relevant new arrests or charges involving employees or contractors (with explicit consent for background checks) in:

  • Abuse-related offenses
  • Diversion of controlled substances
  • Violence-related incidents
  • Other offenses impacting patient or resident safety
  • Fully FCRA-compliant and privacy-first.
  • Note: No human at Biometrica has any access to any employee or contractor list. Your HR or Compliance personnel only have access to this list. You upload it, you decide what to do about any alert. We don’t see the data.

Institutions can upload their own lists of:

  • Trespassed or banned individuals
  • High-risk individuals barred from specific areas (pharmacy, psychiatric, pediatric, or critical care units)
