Athena Security Launches New Hospital Visitor Management System On Apple Ipad Featuring Critical 'Always-On' Capabilities

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) "Hospitals can't afford downtime," says Lisa Falzone, President and co-founder of Athena Security. "Our new VMS is designed on the Apple iPad to be always up and running, much like our last company's solution, Revel's iPad Point of Sale for restaurants, which changed the history of POS. We stay up even during natural disasters, internet outages or cyberattacks. In a world where seconds matter, we've made resilience the default."

Key Features of the New Hospital Visitor Management System Include:

• Always-On, Offline Mode: The system functions with or without internet-enabling check-in/check-out, badge printing, and visitor logging even during connectivity or server disruptions. Data syncs automatically once back online.
• End-to-End Security: From pre-registration to real-time watchlist screening, Athena's VMS protects patients, staff, and visitors with client server certificates for encrypted data handling, and robust access control integration. The system works in tandem with Athena's proprietary H-Sheild , a private, authenticated and authoritative DNS platform that protects a healthcare organization's most critical digital assets, PHI and PII information. H-Shield is an intelligent gatekeeper at the most fundamental point of network communication–Visitor Management.
• Customized Workflows: User experience workflows can be customized for each healthcare department : User experiences can be tailored for different visitor types-contractors, family members, vendors, or VIPs. Hospitals can build protocols that match their compliance needs and operational goals.
• Nationwide Predator Lists: The VMS protects against individuals listed on nationwide child predator lists and other perpetrator lists, so that hospitals are alerted upon entry, even when offline.

Athena Security's VMS integrates effortlessly with the hospital's AI-powered Weapon Detection System, providing hospitals with a unified solution to manage both visitor access and physical threats in real time.

Designed with Healthcare in Mind
Hospitals are among the most complex and security-sensitive environments in the U.S. With workplace violence at an all-time high and increasing regulatory pressures, Athena's new VMS system offers hospitals a vital tool to enhance safety without compromising efficiency or care delivery.

"Whether it's preventing unauthorized access, enabling faster emergency response, or ensuring compliance with visitor protocols, our new Hospital Visitor Management System is setting a new standard for healthcare security," says Chris Ciabarra, co-founder and CTO of Athena Security.
