A New Solution for Law Enforcement
MyndTech is the first technology solution for impaired driving that addresses public safety issues around legalization, while also balancing fairness for those who will be using marijuana legally and responsibly.
Impairment Must Be The Defining Focus For DUID Testing
There is a difference between impairment and recent use. MyndTech® technology takes a new approach to the difficult issue of drug-impaired driving with its roadside device, which uses an algorithm to assess the driver’s ability in key domains of the brain critical to safe driving.
The Problem
There is no clear scientific consensus on how to correlate measures like THC levels in the blood or breath with impairment, leaving law enforcement short of tools and resources to prevent and prosecute dangerous driving.
The legalization of marijuana and the increasing trend of polydrug use pose challenges for law enforcement in accurately identifying and analyzing impaired drivers.
With this expansion of cannabis legalization across the country and the continued opioid epidemic, there has never been a more important time to find new tools for law enforcement.
- This issue takes center stage as a problem that must be addressed to allow for a safer cannabis legalization framework and regulation
- There is no clear way to relate THC levels in the blood or breath to impairment, leaving law enforcement short of tools and resources to prevent and prosecute dangerous driving
- Additionally, consumers, patients, the cannabis industry, and other stakeholders are also left in legal uncertainty.
- Adult-use marijuana has challenged law enforcement resources and there are limitations on the number of available Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)
Things to Remember About MyndTech®
MyndTech® is a tablet-based test that is designed to objectively, quantitatively, and reliably recognize impairment, not just recent drug use
It is designed for one purpose only: to determine whether a person's cognitive abilities are impaired
The technology can be administered roadside to determine whether a DRE should be deployed and supports cause for arrest
It can provide a fair roadside screening to address the current challenges for law enforcement resources and limited DREs
The test takes less than 5 minutes and provides immediate results to an officer that do not require interpretation
MyndTech® is the first technology solution that tests for impaired driving while balancing fairness for those who are using marijuana legally
What is the difference between MyndTech and other law enforcement tools?
- The MyndTech® device can identify impairment roadside to capture impairment levels at the most critical time
- The algorithm assesses a user’s ability in key domains of the brain that are critical to safe driving
- It produces an immediate report without a required interpretation by a law enforcement officer
- MyndTech® is agnostic to the drug or substance causing impairment
- MyndTech® looks at impairment, not recent use, and can respond to the issues with poly-substance use and new designer drugs that cannot be identified
Applying our proven technology to an unresolved problem
- Dedicated to support efforts to help solve one of the hardest policy problems in cannabis legalization and regulation: objectively assessing impairment and driving under the influence
- Designed for one measure only…to determined is a person’s cognitive abilities are impaired
- Tablet-based and is intended to be administered roadside as a screening to determine if a DRE should be deployed
- Our technology is proven effective, with extensive research supporting its application
How does the MyndTech technology Work?
- Myntech’s self-administered computerized assessment objectively, quantitatively, and reliably identifies changes in cognitive function that could be indicative of an impairment
- The algorithm assesses a user’s ability in key domains of the brain that are critical to safe driving
- The roadside device is designed to be self-administered and will take 3-4 minutes to complete
- The goal is to provide a tool for law enforcement to pre-screen drivers for impairment versus recent use of a substance and determine cause to call for a DRE
