[{"type":"text","content":"Xtract One Selected by University of Michigan Health-West to Strengthen Emergency Department SecurityDeployment Introduces a New AI-Driven Screening Solution to Detect Weapons Without Disrupting Patient Care\nTORONTO, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtract One Technologies (TSX: XTRA)(OTCQX: XTRAF)(FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) today announced its Xtract One SmartGateway (“SmartGateway”) has been selected by University of Michigan Health-West (“UM Health-West”) to enhance security at its emergency department entrance. The initial deployment seeks to prioritize proactive protection for patients, staff, and visitors and marks the first of up to 20 potential installations across Michigan. As a hospital serving more than 61,000 emergency patients annually, UM Health-West was seeking to improve upon prior choices and deliver a proactive solution to address the organisation’s primary concern: preventing prohibited items and weapons from entering the emergency department. SmartGateway showcased efficacy in meeting the organization’s detection needs, reinforcing confidence in the technology's ability to support a safer care environment without disrupting daily operations. UM Health-West was drawn to the strength of the Company’s AI-driven detection capabilities and the system's compact footprint, which allows it to fit within the organization’s narrow emergency department hallways. SmartGateways are also able to operate effectively outdoors in West Michigan's climate. “Healthcare environments require security solutions that are both proactive and unobtrusive, particularly in emergency departments where space is limited and patient care must remain the top priority,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One. “By deploying our AI-driven system, UM Health-West is taking a forward-looking approach to detecting weapons and in turn, preserving a safe and welcoming care environment. We are proud of this meaningful opportunity to work with U-M, and more specifically deliver the outcomes they imagined but did not receive with prior solution choices.” “We’re always looking for ways to keep our patients, visitors and team members safe,” said Gary Gorski, director of security at UM Health-West. “...
