EyeGage provides intelligent drug and alcohol screening technology through mobile eye scans, aiming to increase safety in high-risk environments. Their solution allows workplaces, insurance companies, and automotive OEMs to screen individuals for substances like alcohol, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, opioids, and marijuana before operating dangerous equipment or vehicles. The technology works by taking a picture and video of the eyes, classifying features like the pupil and iris, and then applying AI-based techniques to identify substances. This approach helps companies save lives by improving safety and compliance, save time with quick tests and instant results, and save money through increased efficiency and reduced resource and productivity costs. Key team members include Dr. LaVonda Brown (Founder & CEO) and Martin Miller (CTO), with advisors from major tech companies. EyeGage has been recognized by Venture Atlanta, featured by Google for Startups Black Founders Fund, and selected for TechCrunch Disrupt.
