Synectics is set to showcase its advanced security solutions at this year's National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS) Conference, emphasizing how integrated data and AI-driven analytics are enhancing safety and operational efficiency within NHS hospitals.
Drawing from its recent collaborations with NHS Foundation Trusts, Synectics will highlight its Synergy platform, inclusive of the Synergy DETECT AI-powered analytics suite.
Addressing Healthcare Security Challenges
Hospitals operate under unique pressures, balancing constant public access, critical care areas, and round-the-clock operations across various sites, often relying on outdated systems that complicate coordination efforts.
Synectics offers a solution by integrating CCTV, access control, and alarm systems into a unified management platform, delivering a comprehensive view of activities throughout hospital facilities, parking areas, and service zones. With the Synergy mobile app, control room teams can dispatch officers with real-time video feeds, incident details, and specific task instructions.
Enhancing Response Times to Safety Concerns
Synergy platform greatly improves reply times to safeguarding concerns, such as missing patients
The Synergy platform significantly improves response times to safeguarding concerns, such as missing patients or violent incidents, by providing a complete audit trail from incident to resolution.
Synergy DETECT employs AI to alert users of developing risks like overcrowded waiting areas or unauthorized access, enabling preemptive actions to mitigate issues. These real-time insights support overextended teams and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
Success Across NHS Sites
A recent Synergy deployment for a large NHS Foundation Trust, which is in contention for the NAHS Security Innovation Award 2025, illustrates the efficacy of this approach. It facilitated situational awareness across multiple locations, enabling seamless coordination between control rooms and mobile officers while maintaining existing infrastructure.
The introduction of secure cloud storage and task management tools also refined audit procedures and bolstered cross-departmental collaboration, crucial as hospitals operate under tighter budget constraints and increased scrutiny.
Safeguarding Systems and Data
Cyber resilience forms a key component of healthcare settings, a need addressed by Synergy’s architecture
Cyber resilience forms a key component of healthcare environments, a need addressed by Synergy’s architecture through encryption, access controls, and secure data pathways, safeguarding surveillance systems and recorded evidence.
Along with privacy tools like facial redaction, this ensures patient and operational data security, aligned with NHS Digital and NCSC standards.
Live Demonstrations at NAHS 2025
During the NAHS 2025 event, Synectics will conduct live demonstrations of the Synergy platform, showcasing its mobile app and remote access capabilities in enhancing hospital safety.
Attendees can also receive a free guide on Healthcare Security Best Practices, offering actionable strategies to detect risks, improve emergency responses, and secure sensitive data, all while adhering to regulatory requirements.
Synectics, a pioneer in advanced security and surveillance solutions, will use this year’s National Association for Healthcare Security (NAHS) Conference to demonstrate how hospitals are using integrated data and AI-driven analytics to improve safety, incident response, and operational awareness across complex NHS estates.
Building on recent projects with NHS Foundation Trusts, Synectics will showcase its Synergy platform, including the award-winning Synergy DETECT AI-powered analytics suite.
Solving everyday security challenges in healthcare
Hospitals face a unique mix of pressures, including constant public access, high-risk clinical areas, and 24-hour operations across dispersed sites. Many also rely on legacy systems that make coordination difficult.
Synectics’ approach enables healthcare providers to connect CCTV, access control, and alarm infrastructure into a single management platform, creating a complete view of activity across facilities, car parks, and service areas.
From the control room, teams can dispatch officers directly via the Synergy mobile app, providing them with live video, incident details, and clear task instructions.
Quicker response to safeguarding concerns
In practice, this enables a quicker response to safeguarding concerns, missing patients, or violent incidents, with a complete audit trail of the incident through to resolution.
Synergy DETECT adds an AI layer that automatically alerts users to developing risks, such as overcrowding in waiting areas, unauthorized access to restricted wards, missing PPE, or vehicles blocking ambulance bays.
These real-time insights enable hospitals to take action before issues escalate, thereby easing the burden on overstretched teams and enhancing compliance with health and safety standards.
Proven results across NHS sites
A recent deployment of Synergy for a large NHS Foundation Trust, shortlisted for the NAHS Security Innovation Award 2025, demonstrates the benefits of this integrated approach.
The project delivered situational awareness across multiple hospital sites, enabling real-time coordination between the control room and mobile officers while preserving the existing infrastructure.
By introducing secure cloud evidence storage and task management tools, the system has also simplified audit processes and improved cross-departmental collaboration on incidents and security issues, outcomes that are increasingly important as hospitals face tighter budgets and greater scrutiny around robust threat detection and response protocols.
Helping hospitals protect their systems and data
Cyber resilience is also a core requirement in healthcare environments. Synergy’s architecture incorporates encryption, access controls, and secure data pathways to protect surveillance systems and recorded evidence from unauthorized access.
Together with privacy tools, such as facial redaction and blurring, this ensures that patient information and operational data remain safeguarded in line with NHS Digital and NCSC guidance.
Demonstrations and resources available at NAHS 2025
Throughout the show, Synectics will be running live Synergy demonstrations, including how its mobile app, remote access functionality, and Synergy DETECT enhance hospital safety and security.
Delegates can also pick up a free copy of the company’s guide to Healthcare Security Best Practices. This provides actionable strategies for modern healthcare challenges, highlighting the solutions available to hospitals to help them detect risks faster, optimize emergency responses, enhance patient care, and protect sensitive data, all while ensuring regulatory compliance.
