Detect Aggression & Violence in Real-Time for Safer Clinical Environments

Using AI-driven voice analytics to protect clinical staff and patients before incidents escalate.

Canary Safety™️: Voice-Driven Protection for Healthcare Environments

Workplace violence in healthcare isn't a rare occurrence, it's a daily reality. When a patient's mood, attitude, or demeanor begins to shift, staff often don't know until it's too late. Canary Safety™️ uses real-time voice analysis to detect escalating aggression before it becomes a crisis, giving care teams the early warning they need to respond — not react.

Transform Hospital Safety with Canary Speech

Canary Safety™️ is an AI-powered safety monitoring layer that embeds directly into the ambient listening infrastructure hospitals already have, including virtual patient observation (VPO) platforms, in-room audio/video systems, and connected care devices. Using Canary Ambient™ Continuous Monitoring, Canary Safety™️ analyzes vocal signals in real time, detecting behavioral risk indicators like elevated anxiety, tonal shifts, vocal speed, and energy changes — the early warning signs that precede physical aggression. When risk is detected, room-level alerts are automatically triggered so staff can respond earlier, de-escalate faster, and stay safer.

How it works

VIOLENCE & AGGRESSION MODEL

Canary's Violence and Aggression Model analyzes 2,500+ vocal features, including power, speed, tone, and anxiety markers, correlated with risk of aggressive behavior. Scores are generated continuously and updated in real time.

REAL-TIME RISK ALERTS

Canary Safety delivers tiered room-level alerts: Low, Medium, and High, so staff can prioritize response and act before situations escalate. No manual monitoring required.

BUILT FOR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE

Canary Safety integrates via API into the VPO platforms, in-room systems, and connected care infrastructure already deployed in your facility. No new hardware. Fast time to value.

PRIVACY-FIRST ARCHITECTURE

Edge-based processing ensures audio is analyzed locally without continuous storage. Canary Safety is built to meet healthcare-grade privacy and compliance standards, with no compromise on patient or staff data security.
