Abstract
Various embodiments provide systems and methods for identifying impairment using measurement devices and trained models, and/or for indicating interference with impairment testing. Embodiments discussed herein provide systems, methods, and/or devices that enable remote impairment testing that does not require a human monitor to be present or physically near the individual being monitored. Such an ability is an improvement.
Claims20
A system for detecting drug based impairment, the system comprising:
- a breath input device;
- a breath sensor configured to receive a breath sample of an individual via the breath input device and to provide a sample value corresponding to the breath sample;
- one or more processors;
- a non-transient computer readable medium coupled to the one or more processors, and having stored therein instructions which when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- receive the sample value;
- apply a drug impairment model to the sample value to yield a probability that the individual is impaired;
- indicate a likelihood of impairment when the probability exceeds a first threshold;
- and
- indicate no impairment when the probability is less than a second threshold.
A method for detecting use of a controlled substance, the method comprising:
- processing, by a breath sensor, a breath sample received from an individual;
- providing, by the breath sensor, a sample value corresponding to the breath sample;
- applying, by a processor, a drug impairment model to the sample value to yield a probability that the individual is impaired;
- indicating, by the processor, a likelihood of usage when the probability exceeds a first threshold;
- and
- indicating, by the processor, no usage when the probability is less than a second threshold.
A non-transient computer readable medium having stored therein instructions, which when executed by a hardware processing system cause the hardware processing system to:
- receive a sample value, wherein the sample value is generated by a breath sensor based upon a breath sample received from an individual via a breath input device;
- apply a drug impairment model to the sample value to yield a probability that the individual is impaired;
- indicate a likelihood of impairment when the probability exceeds a first threshold;
- and
- indicate no impairment when the probability is less than a second threshold.
