Digitizing the sense of smell for a safer world

why we exist

Protecting our society

The threats in this age are becoming more molecular.

Deadlier narcotics are hitting the streets every other week. Persistent crop diseases threaten our food supply. Chronic human diseases are arriving in younger populations. Bioweapons and bioterrorism are beyond our capacity to detect.

We don't want to just replace detection dogs, we want to expand them.
Read insight
We solve problems in the detection industry
working environment
70,000+ detection dogs are deployed across the US in high-stress work
Our technology makes their jobs easier, not harder. Detection becomes a passive activity rather than an active, tiring task.
safety
Dogs face a far higher toxic ingestion risk than their handlers
With 100x higher sensitivity than traditional dogs, our animals face far less risk of ingesting toxic chemicals to confirm their task.
accountability
52 certification failures across 10 major airports
With our system, operators get objective digital readouts that are immune to training decay.
reliability
As low as 26% accuracy out in the field
87% accuracy in lab settings drops to 26% in the field, from a controlled study showing high performance, but a 75% false alert rate. (New South Wales study).
