AI-Powered Security. HIPAA-Ready.

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence brings AI-powered threat detection, fall detection, and after-hours monitoring to healthcare campuses — backed by an executed Business Associate Agreement for HIPAA compliance.

The Challenge

Healthcare Security Is Uniquely Complex

Large campuses, strict compliance mandates, and around-the-clock patient safety requirements demand more than traditional guard-based monitoring.

Multi-Facility Campus Complexity

Academic medical centers, outpatient clinics, research labs, supply warehouses, and parking structures — all with different security profiles under one organization. Traditional monitoring struggles to provide unified visibility across these diverse facility types.

HIPAA Compliance Burden

Physical security vendors rarely meet the regulatory bar for handling protected health information. Most AI security platforms lack the Business Associate Agreement, audit trail capabilities, and data sovereignty controls healthcare demands.

Patient and Staff Safety Mandates

Falls, workplace violence, and after-hours vulnerability create safety risks that reactive alarm systems cannot address. Healthcare organizations need proactive detection that triggers immediate, documented responses — not alarms that go unanswered.

The Solution

How Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence Solves It

Purpose-built AI handlers for the events that matter most in healthcare — from HIPAA-compliant monitoring to patient safety and after-hours coverage.

HIPAA-Compliant Monitoring

Cobalt AI operates under an executed Business Associate Agreement, with PHI-aware configurations, compliant audit trails, and data handling procedures that meet HIPAA's administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements. A major health system deployed the platform across nine facilities under an active BAA.

Fall Detection and Patient Safety

The Person On Ground Handler identifies person-down events using AI-powered video analysis. When a fall is detected, the handler reasons through context, location, and severity — then triggers the appropriate response: notifying staff, alerting the GSOC, or escalating to emergency services.

Multi-Facility Coverage

Monitor academic medical centers, clinics, warehouses, parking structures, and administrative buildings from a single platform. Each facility can have its own handler configurations, escalation rules, and reporting — while centralized dashboards and metrics provide campus-wide visibility.

After-Hours Security

Clinics and supply facilities are often unstaffed overnight. AI handlers continuously monitor for Door Forced Open events, unauthorized access, and tailgating at badge-controlled entrances — triaging every event and escalating only when human intervention is needed.

94% Of events resolved without human escalation

<15s Average handler response time

6,000+ Hours saved per month at a single deployment

500+ Camera streams monitored across global enterprises

How It Works

Every Event. Reasoned Through.

Each handler follows a four-step reasoning process — from detection to resolution — ensuring every security event is triaged intelligently and documented for compliance.

1. Detect
   AI identifies security events across camera streams — falls, Door Forced Open, tailgating, gun detection, and more — in real time.

2. Reason
   The handler evaluates context, location, time of day, and event severity to classify the threat and determine the appropriate response.

3. Act
   Automated actions are triggered — dispatching notifications, activating PACS lockdowns, creating tickets, or escalating to the GSOC — based on the handler's reasoning.

4. Resolve
   Every event is documented with linked video, root cause classification, and resolution status — creating an auditable trail for compliance and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Cobalt AI has an executed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) covering deployments that involve protected health information (PHI). Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is designed with HIPAA-compliant configurations, audit trails, and data handling procedures. A major health system deployed the platform across nine facilities under an active BAA — making Cobalt AI one of the first AI security platforms proven in a HIPAA-regulated environment.

What is a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for AI security?

A Business Associate Agreement is a legally binding contract required under HIPAA whenever a third-party vendor may access, transmit, or store protected health information. For AI security platforms operating in healthcare facilities, a BAA ensures the vendor meets HIPAA's administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements. Cobalt AI has an executed BAA, demonstrating its ability to operate within HIPAA-regulated environments.

How does fall detection work in healthcare environments?

The Person On Ground Handler within Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence uses AI-powered video analysis to identify person-down events in real time. When a fall is detected, the handler reasons through the event — evaluating context, location, and severity — then triggers the appropriate response: notifying on-site staff, alerting the GSOC, or escalating to emergency services. This is especially critical in patient care areas, parking structures, and after-hours clinic environments.

Can AI monitor clinics and supply facilities after hours?

Yes. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is designed for continuous, unmanned monitoring. During after-hours periods, AI handlers actively monitor for Door Forced Open events, unauthorized access, tailgating at badge-controlled entrances, and other security events — without requiring on-site guard presence. Alerts are triaged by the appropriate handler and escalated only when human intervention is needed.

How does Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence protect patient health information (PHI)?

Cobalt AI protects PHI through multiple layers: an executed Business Associate Agreement governing data handling, edge deployment options that keep video processing on-premises for data sovereignty, compliant audit trails for every security event, and role-based access controls.
