Athena Security uses advanced concealed weapons detection systems to deliver a unified, AI-driven entryway solution for hospitals, K–12 schools, casinos, places of worship, government buildings, and commercial facilities across the U.S. The Apollo 500 enables seamless walk-through screening to detect weapons in real time, giving operators more actionable data points than traditional systems for faster, more confident decisions. Athena’s AI-powered X-ray leverages iPad technology to modernize screening and improve threat detection.
Athena’s Hospital Visitor Management System integrates with EPIC to connect identity, access, and screening data. Innovations include the Ambulance Bay WDS for stretcher screening and secondary screening for bags and lower extremities to reduce human error. Designed with compliance in mind, Athena aligns with California AB 2975, which mandates weapons detection screening at key hospital entrances by 2027 to improve safety and reduce workplace violence.
DHS-aligned workflows ensure testing, controls, and compliance, while telepresence and AR alert glasses provide real-time support. All systems connect in one platform for centralized monitoring and enterprise reporting.
