MindBio Therapeutics Corp. (CSE: MBIO) (OTCQB: MBQIF) is advancing toward commercial deployment of its voice-based artificial intelligence platform for detecting drug and alcohol impairment, with an initial focus on industrial safety applications in South America’s mining sector. The company recently appointed Chilean policy specialist Felipe Leyton to lead commercialization efforts in the region, marking a transition from technology development to field implementation in large enterprise environments.
Leyton brings experience in national drug policy and workplace safety, having helped design and implement Chile’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ alcohol-impaired driving law as part of the country’s alcohol prevention framework. He also played a role in establishing Chile’s roadside drug testing program introduced in 2019. His appointment reflects MindBio’s strategy of aligning technical development with regulatory and industry expertise in markets where impairment detection is closely tied to workplace safety and compliance requirements.
The company’s AI prediction model uses over 50 million data points to predict alcohol intoxication with remarkable accuracy, just by using the human voice. MindBio is developing an enterprise platform including Edge-AI kiosks integrating bespoke hardware and software for the detection of drug and alcohol intoxication using the human voice and AI in a range of enterprise environments including the mining industry, aviation, construction and law enforcement.
The move toward commercial deployment comes as mining companies in South America face increasing pressure to enhance workplace safety and reduce accidents caused by impairment. According to the article, MindBio’s technology could provide a non-invasive, rapid screening method that can be deployed at mine entrances or other critical points. The company’s focus on the mining sector is strategic, given the region’s large mining operations and strict safety regulations.
