Athena Security launches new Hospital Visitor Management System

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Athena Security has announced the launch of its new Hospital Visitor Management System (VMS) on the Apple iPad.

Athena said its Hospital VMS is the first Apple iPad solution in the industry to offer seamless offline capabilities—ensuring that hospitals stay operational and secure, even amidst internet interruptions due to down servers, power outages or natural disasters.

Unlike some industries, hospital outages can have life-threatening consequences–especially when a delay of hours, or even minutes, can increase mortality rates for stroke, heart attack and other patients seeking emergency care.

“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
• End-to-End Security
• Customized Workflows
• Nationwide Predator Lists

Athena Security’s VMS integrates 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.

“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.
