Applied Monitoring

Applied Monitoring’s innovative sensor system identifies the presence and concentration of alcohol, cocaine and cannabis in a person’s bloodstream by scanning their skin. The device generates electromagnetic waves at a range of different frequencies that pass through the skin and interact with chemicals in the blood that are reflected back, analysed and recorded. The technology is non-invasive, and quicker and cheaper than onsite workplace tests currently in use. The business is in the process of developing desk-based arm scanning equipment, using readily available electronic components similar to those used in mobile phones.
