Healthcare workers face a disproportionate level of aggression and violence at work. Observra detects weapons and escalating behaviour in real time, giving staff the few seconds they need to get safe before a situation turns critical.
Three quarters of African nurses report being physically or verbally assaulted at work, most incidents go unreported due to fear or lack of evidence.
Emergency departments are where most hospital violence occurs, high-stress patients, long waits and overcrowding create conditions that Observra monitors continuously.
Detecting aggressive behaviour patterns before they turn physical gives staff time to call for backup, de-escalate, or move to safety, a few seconds saves lives.
Identifies escalating behaviour, raised postures, threatening movements, physical confrontations, before they become assaults. Staff get a silent alert in time to respond.
Firearms and bladed weapons detected at A&E entrances, reception areas and car parks, alerting security before an armed individual enters clinical areas.
Wards, pharmacies, equipment stores and staff-only zones are monitored for unauthorised access, alerting the moment someone enters a restricted corridor.
Skeleton night staff are most vulnerable. Observra runs 24/7 with no degradation, monitoring every camera through every shift.
Every alert is logged with timestamp, camera ID and event type, building an evidence record for HR investigations, insurance claims or police reports.
Monitor every facility across a hospital group from one centralised dashboard, with per-site drill-down and cross-site incident reporting.
