DRUID App + DRUID Enterprise

DRUID is a mobile app that tests for cognitive and motor impairment from any cause. Employee impairment can be caused by drugs, alcohol, fatigue, illness, injury, mental distress, and a host of chronic conditions. All these impairment causes can affect an employee’s readiness or fitness for duty while on the job.

Using neuroscience, DRUID Enterprise measures and reports the actual effects of impairment on the brain and body. By testing key neurophysiological indicators such as reaction time, hand-eye coordination, balance, and decision-making, DRUID is able to measure and report how well or poorly the brain and body are doing while impaired.

Real-Time Information

DRUID gives employers the sophisticated tools needed to monitor an employee’s fitness for duty. Managers receive real-time score results and can create scoring reports, set testing schedules and reminders and receive impairment alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Will DRUID Enterprise measure impairment levels?

    Yes, DRUID measures an individual’s level of impairment. It is a non-specific test, measuring impairment generally. It does not indicate the cause of the impairment.  It does not test for the presence of chemicals in the body.

  • How does DRUID calculate an employee's impairment score?

    DRUID presents employees with a score based on their responses to a series of cognitive tasks that measure hand-eye coordination, decision-making, response times, precision, and balance.  DRUID scores range from 25 to 75, with higher scores indicating more impairment. Employees establish a DRUID baseline score by initially taking three tests in a row. Subsequent tests compare their current scores to their baseline score. Scores significantly exceeding baseline generate an alert sent to the manager indicating that the employee should be evaluated for potential impairment.

  • Is DRUID scientifically proven?

    Yes, independent, peer-reviewed, scientific studies confirming the validity and accuracy of DRUID have been published by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the University of Colorado, and the Municipal Police Training Academy. Additionally, more than a dozen other academic institutions around the world have used or are using DRUID under license for their impairment research.

  • How long does each test take?

    Employees are able to conclude a test in approximately 1 minute, which makes it an ideal impairment detection tool to test employees right before they start work or at any other time.

  • Where can DRUID be installed?

    DRUID is an app that can be installed on an employee’s mobile device or a shared device such as a company-owned tablet. An employee is given a unique username and password to log in and take the test. Scoring results are captured by the app and reported on DRUID Enterprise, DRUID’s cloud-based management portal and database.

  • Will DRUID test scores hold up in court?

    DRUID is not currently meant to be introduced as evidence in court, detecting and measuring impairment, as it does, from all of the many possible causes of impairment. DRUID identifies that impairment exists. It is meant to be used in conjunction with other testing measures (drug, alcohol, reasonable suspicion testing) to determine the cause of impairment.

  • Do you need to develop reasonable suspicion before performing the DRUID test?

    No, reasonable suspicion testing is not required. DRUID can be used under many circumstances to determine and measure impairment from any cause.

  • How is DRUID used by most employers?

    DRUID is most often used as a preventative measure, with employees being tested before the start of a work shift or randomly during the work shift. This allows employers to determine whether or not there is a question about an employee’s fitness for duty.
