Autonomous Wellness Monitoring for Correctional Health
What Could Earlier Interventions Mean for You?
Every year, thousands of inmates die while incarcerated. ~40% of these deaths are the result of cardiovascular or respiratory illness, overdose, detox or suicide.1 The challenges are urgent and pervasive — but they’re not inevitable. Discover how autonomous, radar-based vital signs monitoring can help you protect your inmates’ safety while prioritizing privacy, security and your staff’s wellbeing.

Help Detect Deterioration Sooner
Earlier Detection Can Lead to Earlier Interventions
Traditional patient monitors (e.g., ECG or telemetry) can require significant user compliance, making them difficult to implement in general correctional environments. Contact-free, continuous, radar-based monitoring can accurately monitor heart rate, respiratory rate and more — no staff intervention or inmate compliance required. And since it can sense through blankets, clothing, furniture and even drywall, it can be used in traditionally hard-to-monitor spaces. With thousands of measurements per day, you can:
- Recognize what is normal for each inmate
- Identify deviations that could signal a health event
- Intervene early — even when there is no one around to report the issue

Secure, Private and Autonomous — For Inmates and Staff
No wearables. No cameras. No microphones. No inmate compliance or staff intervention required. With autonomous, radar-based monitoring, the process is automatic and private — and it takes place on a secure local network that is straightforward to deploy.
Case in Point: Secure, Tamper-Proof Implementations
An Australian facility installed Xandar Kardian sensors within tamper-proof light fixtures, and on a secure local network.
Reduce Staff Burden
Support Your Staff with Simple, Actionable Data
Serious health events are not limited to patrol times. Give your staff the support they need to identify inmates at risk, even when no one is there to inform them.
- Reduce administrative burden with the clear data your teams need
- Intuitive dashboards can alert guards to potential issues quickly
- More detailed views can give medical teams timely clinical data
- Improve satisfaction by giving them more time to focus where the need is greatest
- Provide peace of mind with reliable data to help them protect inmates and manage organizational risk
Case in Point: Clear Visuals and Clear Direction
An Australian facility uses XK300 sensors and a simple dashboard to monitor inmates’ vital signs and spot potential issues.
Our goal is to enable timely healthcare intervention. Making the vital sign information of these inmates immediately available and constantly updated for prison staff, without any extra work on their part, is an ideal solution in busy facilities. It’s a significant step towards guaranteeing inmate safety.

The XK300 uses radar monitoring to track heart rate, respiratory rate, motion and presence. In fact, it is the first commercially available medical device cleared by the FDA to do so. Our radar can sense through blankets, clothing, furniture and even drywall to detect micro vibrations from the body – safely. Discover how it can make a difference for your inmates and staff.
