Project description
Eye-based biometrics for drug testing
Nearly 30 million people are problematic drug users. The EU-funded project PrevictDrugs provides an innovative medical device for continuous, voluntary, self-monitoring of drug use. It serves as an add-on to Kontigo Care’s current eHealth offer developed for management of other addictive disorders, including alcoholism and reckless gambling. Using smartphone cameras, patients suffering from drug addiction will be identified, and asked to record a 10-second long video of their eyes. The analysis of eye biomarkers yields instant results. The project is already preparing to commercialise their product.
