TORONTO, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtract One Technologies (TSX: XTRA)(OTCQX: XTRAF)(FRA: 0PL) (“Xtract One” or the “Company”) today announced its SmartGateway has been selected by Health PEI, the agency delivering publicly-funded health services on Prince Edward Island, to support its ongoing commitment to patient, staff, and visitor safety across its numerous facilities. The phased rollout deployment will enable Health PEI to continue delivering on its commitment to providing safe, quality health care to all Islanders in today’s modern threat environment.
As the organization responsible for hospitals, healthcare centers, long-term nursing facilities, and community-based health programs throughout the province, Health PEI plays a central role in advancing a coordinated, province-wide approach to care. Health PEI’s selection of SmartGateway reflects a broader shift among provincial health systems toward proactive, technology-enabled security solutions that enhance safety without disrupting care delivery or the patient experience. The addition of Health PEI marks another milestone in Xtract One’s growing foothold across Canadian provincial health authorities. This deployment ushers the Company’s technology into a fourth province, with more continuing to evaluate deployment.
“Healthcare environments require security solutions that protect people without disrupting care or creating unnecessary stress for patients, medical professionals, visitors, or staff. SmartGateway provides the balance of protection and efficiency needed to streamline operations so organizations like Health PEI can focus on essential care,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One. “Welcoming Health PEI to our growing base of public healthcare customers in Canada affirms the value of our solutions in the healthcare sector. We’re proud to work with Health PEI as the organization advances a safety-first approach that strengthens care delivery across the province.”
SmartGateway delivers intelligent, high-throughput security screening using advanced AI-powered sensors that discreetly detects weapons and prohibited items as individuals enter a facility. The system enables fast, accurate screening without requiring individuals to stop, divest personal belongings, or undergo secondary screenings. Unlike traditional metal detectors, SmartGateway supports continuous flow of movement, allowing for more efficient ingress that helps facilities maintain throughput during peak periods. The technology enables safer environments while preserving the welcoming atmosphere critical to public-facing spaces such as healthcare facilities.
