PRESS RELEASE
WALKER COUNTY, Ala. — A potentially fatal medical emergency was averted thanks to Reassurance Solutions’ cutting-edge XK 300 contactless medical monitoring sensor, a vigilant officer, and real-time 24/7 dashboard alerts. The incident, which took place at the Walker County Jail in Alabama, is now being recognized as a powerful testament to how modern technology can save lives, even in the most unexpected environments.
In a news story first reported by WVTM 13, a Walker County Sheriff’s officer responded rapidly after the Reassurance Solutions XK 300 sensor detected a critical drop in an inmate’s vital signs. The advanced sensor, which continuously monitors heart rate, respiratory rate, and movement without the need for wearable devices, triggered an alert through Reassurance’s cloud-based monitoring dashboard. This alert prompted immediate intervention—captured on body camera footage—and ultimately helped save the inmate’s life.
“Officer Franklin Sherer’s quick thinking and dedication exemplify the core values of our department,” said Walker County Sheriff Nick Smith. “The Reassurance Solutions system has proven to be an invaluable tool in enhancing community safety, and we are proud to see its effectiveness in action.”
“This real-life event underscores the importance of the XK 300 —a system that provides constant, accurate medical monitoring that doesn’t depend on wearables or inmate compliance,” said Jon Lloyd, President of Reassurance Solutions. “We are proud that our technology helped enable a quick, life-saving response, and we applaud the professionalism and swift action of the officer involved.”
The XK 300 is part of Reassurance Solutions’ broader mission to bring proactive, passive health monitoring to high-risk and low-supervision environments, including correctional facilities, behavioral health centers, and long-term care institutions. By using radar-based, contactless sensors and real-time analytics, the system reduces the risk of unnoticed medical decline and can provide critical early warnings, often before visible symptoms appear.
The system’s real-time dashboard, accessible to authorized medical and facility staff, ensures continuous oversight without constant in-person checks. This innovation not only enhances health outcomes but also supports operational efficiency and safety.
This incident is a vivid reminder of how technology and people working in sync can change—and even save—lives.
