Arkansas Patent of the Month – March 2025
Tech Friends, Inc. has introduced a cutting-edge biometric event detection system designed to enhance safety and efficiency in controlled environments like prisons, hospitals, and care homes.
Smarter Surveillance, Real-Time Results
The new system combines facial recognition and biometric scanning with environmental monitoring tools. It identifies individuals and tracks key events—such as medical visits, food deliveries, or unusual interactions—within a facility. When an event occurs, the system automatically creates a digital record that includes the people involved and visual evidence.
Reducing Risk, Saving Time
Manual check-ins are time-consuming and often unreliable. With this system, facilities can track movements continuously without overburdening staff. If an incident occurs, the system logs it instantly, improving both accountability and response time.
Innovation That Pays Off
Besides increasing safety, the system also supports documentation for compliance and operational audits. Since it’s a novel technology developed for complex environments, it may also qualify under r&d tax credit patents—an added incentive for innovation in public safety and healthcare.
Tech Friends, Inc. continues to deliver forward-thinking solutions for institutions that rely on precision, efficiency, and trust.
