Intoxicheck app aims to reduce drinking and driving

Innocorp’s new iPhone app Intoxicheck leads users through a simple set of before and after reaction, judgment and memory challenges so drivers clearly see how impaired they are in an effort to stop drinking and driving.

4272 Innocorp’s new iPhone app Intoxicheck leads users through a simple set of before and after reaction, judgment and memory challenges so drivers clearly see how impaired they are in an effort to stop drinking and driving. Because it works on a smartphone, users have convenient access to the new iPhone app anywhere.

Intoxicheck, which gives people a reality check about how buzzed they are, is research-based and works by comparing results from a series of challenges users take while sober to results they get after drinking.

"By taking a series of reaction, judgment and memory challenges before drinking, you establish a baseline of sober performance that you can compare to your performance on those same challenges after drinking,” said Deb Kusmec of Innocorp. “In field tests of Intoxicheck under controlled conditions, the new iPhone app provided a reasonably accurate assessment of a person's impairment level."

    Richard Cuerden considers how many of the technologies developed as part of a move toward autonomous vehicles are already being deployed as ADAS improve road safety. The drive to create autonomous vehicles has caused a re-evaluation of what is needed to safely navigate today’s roads and the development of systems that can replace the driver in many scenarios. However, many manufacturers are not waiting for ‘tomorrow’ and are already incorporating these systems in their new cars as Advanced Driver Assistanc
