AI Eye-Scanning Software for Non-Invasive Digital Drug and Alcohol Detection

digitalPilotedTRL 7

Imagine a camera that can tell if someone is under the influence of drugs or alcohol just by looking at their eyes. Instead of using breathalyzers or blood tests, this software analyzes images of the eye area to spot impairment. It works using a standard smartphone or a car's built-in camera, making it as easy as taking a selfie to check for sobriety.

The business problem

What needed solving

Traditional drug testing is invasive, slow, or impossible to implement in real-time environments like cars or e-scooters. This leads to high accident rates caused by impaired operators.

The solution

What was built

A production-ready AI software that detects drug and alcohol influence via eye-area image analysis, including secure data acquisition and integration guides for vehicles.
