Our Mission: To Save Lives & Protect Facilities
Our mission is simple but profound: to save lives and protect facilities. We are part of Rahm Sensor Development, Inc., the team behind the highly successful VetGuardian® platform. The same proven, patented technology used to monitor the vital signs of animals has been refined for the human health market. Every conversation you have contributes to creating safer environments for both inmates and correctional staff by empowering officers with the data they need to make smarter, faster, and safer decisions.
The Core Problem: The 15-Minute Gap & The Modern Jail Crisis
The entire market for Cell-Guardian exists because of a single, fundamental vulnerability: the 15-minute gap. Traditional checks leave inmates unobserved for extended periods where a tragedy can unfold. This is amplified by a modern crisis in corrections:
Systemic Pressures: Increased incarceration rates, fluctuating funding, and aging facilities create a difficult operational environment.
High-Risk Populations: Facilities are managing a growing number of inmates with complex needs, including mental health issues, drug and alcohol detoxification, chronic health problems (hypertension, diabetes, epilepsy), and a rising number of older inmates.
Severe Consequences: This environment leads to a high risk of suicide (especially in the first 48 hours), self-harm, and violence. A single Death in Custody (DIC) can result in severe legal and financial ramifications for a facility.
The Massive Market Opportunity
The U.S. corrections industry is a multi-billion dollar sector under immense pressure from staffing shortages and legal challenges, creating an urgent demand for smarter technologies.
Total Facilities: Over 4,400 correctional facilities operate across the United States.
Total Population: These facilities house approximately 1.9 million individuals.
