Title:
Development of SafetyScan 2.0 - An AI/Machine Learning Impairment Screening System for Drugs, Alcohol, and Cognitive Fatigue
Agreement Number:
1000225
Agreement Value:
$211,850.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 1, 2023 - Jan 31, 2024
Description:
SafetyScan 2.0 will revolutionize the way impairment is detected in safety sensitive workplaces. It will largely replace expensive and fallible methods (such as breathalyzers or urine tests) which can be expensive, infrequently administered, and have delayed results, all while not being able to detect impairment. With SafetyScan 2.0, a worker’s eye movements will be scanned and analyzed for psychomotor impairment from alcohol, drugs, or cognitive fatigue. This is a daily Fitness for Duty test that is fast, accurate, non-invasive, and respectful of worker privacy. The rapid results will prevent workplace lost time incidents, equipment downtime, traffic accidents, and environmental disasters while respecting and maintaining worker privacy.
