74 Evolv Testimonials

“Over the past four or five years, due to the increase in violence in healthcare, we have received a lot of feedback from our doctors and nurses on the need for tighter security screening. In particular, based on the annual Culture Survey that we conduct with our staff, weapons screening has been a recurring, highly important theme for the past several years. Our doctors, nurses, and staff see what is happening with active shooter incidents, and they want us to ensure those don’t occur in one of our Virtua Health facilities. To address these issues, we needed a solution that would screen everyone coming through the doors to our hospitals.”

"I had experienced Evolv in other venues and knew what it was capable of doing. After we decided to implement them, I counted down the days until we went live. I knew they would transform our guest experience coming into the building.”

“Before the Bridgestone Arena opened, people never came down to this area."

“Our renovation project was a perfect time for us to tackle a new security screening approach. We wanted a security screening solution that could provide a high level of safety and security while also creating a more welcoming entry experience for guests.”

“I was fortunate to have prior experience with Evolv and understood the differences between x-ray and metal detector technologies and Evolv’s AI-driven approach. Unlike those legacy screening systems, Evolv creates a frictionless, freeflowing ingress process.”

“That assessment pointed us to the need for a solution that would screen people upon ingress without impeding their entry."

"Since deploying Evolv, the number of metal objects that we’ve detected run into the tens of thousands. We were almost in shock at the number of weapons we found. It was the equivalent of having a Damocles sword hanging over our heads but most of us were unaware of how large the threat was.”

“Workplace violence has become a growing concern over the past decade. During and after the pandemic, we saw a heightening of people’s emotions. Isolation during the pandemic negatively impacted people’s behavior and conduct. Unfortunately, this translated into a rise in violence towards hospital staff.”

“The entire deployment process was outstanding. It was amazing to see the equipment arrive on site and then go through the training process with the Evolv and Convergint teams.”

“Evolv plays a huge role in helping us to feel more comfortable and confident at work, knowing there is a reduced chance we will be injured by someone brandishing a weapon. It is absolutely wonderful that we finally have security screening for weapons in our Emergency Departments.”

“When some of our patients or visitors to come our Emergency Departments, they may be having the worst day of their life. People’s emotions run high. People do stupid things. Evolv helps us prevent bad things from happening.”

“Having Evolv systems in place makes our patients feel safe, and our staff feels safe and able to deliver the care our patients need rather than worrying about their safety. We are very proud to be the first hospital Emergency Department in Canada to implement Evolv.”

“I feel very honored to be part of a hospital that is taking extra steps to protect is staff and patients. In the past, we didn’t know what we would encounter when coming to work. Evolv makes it much easier for us to do so. It helps lift that uncertainty. I absolutely feel safer knowing that every single person that I come in contact with has been screened.”

“Guests come to enjoy themselves and entrust us with their safety. We’re also responsible for the safety of our employees.”

“They created long queues and gave us a lot of false positives. Security screening could become a very lengthy process as they detected almost everything that was metal—belt buckles, zippers, keys. It was a very time-consuming process. Guests would become frustrated with the long waits—and it impacted their experience.”
