Predictmedix has begun production of its mobile app to detect health damage from cannabis and alcohol
Predictmedix screening to identify damage takes less than 30 seconds
The mobile app, powered by artificial intelligence algorithms currently used in Safe Entry, is accompanied by a “mini” multispectral imaging camera, resulting in a portable, non-invasive damage detection solution.
Commercialization specifically targets law enforcement, transportation, and other high-risk mobile industries

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 15, 2023 / Predictmedix Inc. (“Predictmedix” or the “Company”) (CSE:PMED) (OTCQB:PMEDF) (FRA:3QP), an emerging provider of proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-based rapid healthcare screening solutions, today announced that AI- based mobile application along with a portable multispectral imaging camera that non-invasively detects alcohol and cannabis-induced impairment. The non-invasive solution is being commercialized with the intention of serving global law enforcement, transportation and other high-risk mobile industries where impairment remains a significant liability. The Company’s recent studies have shown that its screening device can accurately identify injured persons with a success rate of over 90%. In addition, the screening process takes less than 30 seconds, making it a fast and reliable way to identify damage. Although cannabis breathalyzers are still in the early stages of development, according to the National Automobile Association, breathalyzers have a margin of error of up to 50%.¹.

Alcohol and cannabis-related impairment is an ongoing problem for law enforcement agencies and high-risk industries worldwide – and current testing protocols are long, expensive and burdensome. Drug testing companies have failed to create a reliable, fast, cost-effective and non-invasive product in one product. Designed for law enforcement and other high-risk mobile industries, Predictmedix’s portable solution solves problems that companies and organizations have faced for years.

A multi-parameter approach is used to identify unique and specific features based on facial and speech analysis, which are analyzed by artificial intelligence algorithms, resulting in an unbiased result. The multispectral imaging camera captures invisible wavelength data from which AI algorithms extract features associated with impairment from alcohol and/or cannabis. Artificial intelligence is self-learning by nature, and Predictmedix’s algorithms improve as more data is acquired and processed, resulting in greater accuracy and speed over time.

Although the combination of multispectral imaging and speech analysis resulted in more than 90% accuracy in identifying impaired individuals, the speech analysis component of the solution alone achieved an impressive accuracy rate in identifying impairment. Predictmedix recognizes that this particular use case lies with the end user and is currently taking steps to preserve the rights and intellectual property of the technology for commercialization efforts and shareholder interests.

“We are pleased to announce to our shareholders that we have made very good progress with our portable solution for the detection of impairment in the health of individuals. Based on our research and discussions with high-level contacts, we believe that our product will be in high demand in many industry verticals. In 2021, the value of the drug screening market was more than 5.2 billion dollars and in 2030 they expect more than 22 billion dollars in revenue.²making this another profitable opportunity for Predictmedix,” commented Dr. Rahul Kushwah, Chief Operating Officer of Predictmedix. “We look forward to hearing from our shareholders on further technological and commercial developments.”
