Latest Technology: Using Fingerprint Scanners to Identify “Addicts”

A new drug measurement technology from the University of East Anglia (UEA) has been created as a fingerprint scanner prototype. It is only necessary for the subject to scan the fingerprints to determine opium, marijuana or microscopic sweat from the finger. The existence of cocaine, of course, fingerprint identification device itself can also capture high-resolution fingerprint images.

Some people suspect that if the testee shakes hands with someone and the drug component causes false positives, the researchers call this concern unnecessary because it directly associates the metabolites in the sweat pores.

The original team designed the prototype to focus on illegal drug testing, but they found that the scanner could be used to detect hormone markers in the future to detect conditions such as early-onset cancer and pregnancy. The device has been tested for students for the first time at the International Esperanto Association and the goal is nicotine, which shows that its accuracy is quite high.
