Synectics is set to make a significant impact at the National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS) Conference in 2025, by showcasing how hospitals are utilising integrated data and AI-driven analytics to bolster safety, enhance incident response, and improve operational awareness.
By sharing insights from recent collaborations with NHS Foundation Trusts, Synectics will highlight the capabilities of its Synergy platform, notably the Synergy DETECT AI-powered analytics suite.
Addressing complex security challenges in healthcare
Hospitals encounter a diverse array of pressures, which include constant public access, high-risk clinical zones, and round-the-clock operations spanning multiple locations. Many are further hindered by outdated systems, complicating coordination efforts.
Synectics provides a solution by integrating CCTV, access control, and alarm systems into a single management platform, offering a comprehensive view of activities across facilities, car parks, and service areas.
From the control room, security teams can dispatch officers directly using the Synergy mobile app, which delivers live video feeds, incident particulars, and clear task guidance.
Expedited response to security concerns
The AI layer in Synergy DETECT actively alerts users to potential risks, such as overcrowding in waiting areas
In practice, this integration allows for faster responses to safeguarding issues, such as missing patients or violent incidents, accompanied by a full audit trail from incident to resolution.
The AI layer in Synergy DETECT actively alerts users to potential risks, such as overcrowding in waiting areas, unauthorised access to restricted zones, missing personal protective equipment (PPE), or vehicles obstructing ambulance bays.
These real-time insights enable proactive measures to be taken before issues escalate, alleviating pressure on stretched teams and ensuring adherence to health and safety standards.
Demonstrated success across the NHS
A recent deployment of Synergy at a major NHS Foundation Trust has underscored the benefits of this integrated approach. This project, which has been shortlisted for the NAHS Security Innovation Award 2025, delivered enhanced situational awareness across multiple hospital locations, facilitating real-time coordination between the control room and mobile officers while maintaining the existing infrastructure.
The project also introduced secure cloud evidence storage and task management tools, which have streamlined audit processes and improved cross-departmental collaboration on security incidents, a crucial outcome given current financial constraints and increasing demands for robust security protocols.
Cyber resilience and data protection
Synergy architecture includes features such as encryption, stringent access controls, and secure data pathways
Cyber resilience remains a critical necessity in healthcare settings. The Synergy architecture includes features such as encryption, stringent access controls, and secure data pathways to guard surveillance systems and recorded evidence from unauthorised access.
Additionally, privacy tools, including facial redaction and blurring, ensure that patient information and operational data complies with NHS Digital and NCSC guidelines.
Interactive demonstrations at NAHS 2025
During the NAHS 2025 event, Synectics will conduct live demonstrations of Synergy, illustrating how its mobile app, remote access features, and Synergy DETECT can enhance hospital safety and security.
Attendees will also have access to a complimentary guide on Healthcare Security Best Practices, offering practical strategies for modern healthcare challenges. This resource highlights solutions for risk detection, emergency response optimisation, patient care enhancement, and data protection, all designed to support regulatory compliance.
