On 7 June 2025 the Community Advocacy Alliance (CAA) was given a presentation by Asssociate Professor Dr Michael Akindeju PhD CEng, RPEQ, PgD (Banking and Finance) FIChemE, FRACI, SMAIChE, MausIMM on new technology designed to detect alcohol and many other substances in a person’s system and measure their level of cognitive impairment, if any.
The CAA, as a registered charity, cannot and does not endorse any commercial product or process.
However, in the public interest, we may from time to time bring to notice anything that may potentially make our community safer.
Hereunder is information provided by Dr Akindeju,
The IntoxiSense revolutionary technology comes in two models, named “IntoxiSense 1” and “IntoxiSense 2“ and is designed to elevate safety across industries and communities.
What Makes IntoxiSense Revolutionary?
Instantaneous Onsite Detection: Saliva & sweat swabs provide real-time results.
Cognitive Impairment Measurement: Provides accurate analysis beyond substance presence.
Portable & Non-Invasive: Field-deployable, easy to use, and actionable in under 5 minutes.
Industry Adaptability: Supports law enforcement, fleet management, healthcare, aviation, construction, etc.
Aligns with and supports Standard of proof.
IntoxiSense technology provides four levels of results. Not cognitively impaired. Likely not cognitively impaired. Likely cognitively impaired. Cognitively impaired.
CAA Comment: Rather than the present ‘one size fits all’ approach, the ability to accurately measure the level of a person’s actual cognitive impairment when they test positive to alcohol or an illicit substance would be a giant step forward in the administration of justice, for police in determining what, if any, charges should be laid, and in courts determining penalties upon conviction.
Additionally, many potentially dangerous occupations would greatly benefit from knowing if those involved are fit to work safely and are not suffering from cognitive impairment.
Use of the IntoxiSense technology would obviously improve community safety across a wide range of activities.
Clearly, to be utilised in many situations enabling legislation would be required.
The CAA suggests relevant authorities, if interested, run their own trials of this important new technology, as, if successful, the potential benefits to the community in injuries avoided and lives saved cannot be overstated.
