Infrastructure for Modern Custody Oversight

OverWatch® is operational infrastructure that converts continuous biometric signals into structured notifications and documented response timelines. It strengthens standardized oversight, reduces uncertainty during critical events, and supports defensible operational review.

RISK-BASED DEPLOYMENT MODEL

OverWatch® is deployed based on operational risk, across the high-risk areas in the facility were crisis commonly occur.

This targeted model strengthens safety and welfare oversight where physiological deterioration is most likely, while maintaining operational efficiency and budget control.

EARLIER AWARENESS OF RISK

OverWatch® is designed to scale with operational need across multi-unit and multi-building environments. The system maintains the same notification integrity, signal reliability, documentation standards, and operational continuity regardless of the amount of sensors deployed.

01.
Multi-Signal Biometric Sensing Intelligence

Continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen levels (SpO₂), skin temperature, motion, and other biometric indicators associated with physiological distress.

02.
Automated Risk Escalation Notifications

Customizable threshold notifications for staff immediately when biometric patterns indicate potential crisis.

03.
Location Awareness

Zone-based visibility supports rapid response, structured accountability, and defensible documentation of observation standards.

04.
Operational Confidence

Deliver structured notifications and documented event timelines that reinforce response protocols and support institutional accountability.

ENGINEERED FOR CUSTODY ENVIRONMENTS

Common questions

OverWatch® strengthens safety and welfare oversight where it matters most

No. OverWatch® is engineered to scale based on operational need. Agencies may deploy the system for targeted high-risk monitoring—often aligned to 10–15% of ADP, or expand across entire facilities as policies evolve. Institutional-grade performance remains consistent at any scale.

Traditional monitoring relies primarily on periodic observation or camera-based review. OverWatch® delivers continuous physiological intelligence that supplements direct observation, providing real-time notifications when deterioration occurs between visual checks. The result is strengthened safety and welfare oversight supported by objective data.

The system continuously analyzes biometric signals and triggers structured notifications when defined physiological thresholds are exceeded. This enables earlier identification of deterioration and supports timely response before escalation into an emergency or a crisis.

Automated notifications, time-stamped biometric records, and centralized reporting create a documented operational record of physiological status and response timelines. This structured documentation supports internal review, compliance requirements, and external accountability.

Yes. The platform is engineered for both targeted deployment and enterprise-level implementation across complex correctional systems. It is currently operating across county, state, and private facilities in live custody environments.
