Athena’s Healthcare WDS Platform is a connected suite of products and workflows designed specifically for the unique challenges hospitals and health systems face — from high-traffic main entrances to sensitive emergency department access points. The platform combines the Apollo 500 Weapons Detection System for primary entry screening, the Ambulance Bay WDS for stretcher screening, the Secondary Screening WDS for rapid secondary screening resolution, AI-Assisted X-Ray Baggage Scanning where bag inspection is required, and Athena’s Hospital Visitor Management System — all unified under a single operator interface with consistent workflows, alerting, reporting, and audit trails.
What sets Athena apart is the breadth of data collected across the entire security workflow. By combining weapons detection, hospital visitor management, secondary screening WDS, AI-assisted X-ray baggage screening, incident reporting, testing documentation, DHS best practices, POI and VIP management, and clinical system integrations into a single platform, Athena creates a rich operational dataset that improves threat detection, accelerates investigations, and provides deeper security intelligence.
The platform also includes comprehensive compliance reporting tools designed to support healthcare organizations’ workplace violence prevention and security requirements. Athena automatically captures screening activity, visitor records, alarm resolution data, incident reports, testing records, and audit logs that can help support OSHA workplace violence prevention initiatives, Cal/OSHA requirements, and California AB 2975 compliance. By centralizing security data and documentation, Athena reduces administrative burden while providing healthcare security leaders with the records, reporting, and operational visibility needed for audits, investigations, regulatory reviews, and continuous program improvement.
For healthcare security leaders, Athena delivers more than hardware—it provides a fully integrated security operations platform with the data, workflows, reporting, and documentation infrastructure needed to protect staff, patients, and visitors while supporting regulatory readiness and enterprise-wide security visibility.
