AI Assist: AI-Powered Breathalyzer Development
FY 2024-25 · 2025-01-01
Summary
This project aims to transform a novel form of spectroscopy data analysis by implementing AI and machine learning (ML) technologies to achieve substantial improvements in accuracy and efficiency. A scalable, secure, and efficient target architecture and foundational model will be selected and documented to support the integration of AI capabilities.
The final phase of this project will involve the seamless integration of ML models into the device hardware, ensuring synchronized communication between software, hardware, and algorithm components. Rigorous internal verification will optimize performance metrics, while algorithms will be validated and tested through controlled lab experiments and field trials.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à transformer une nouvelle forme d’analyse des données spectroscopiques en mettant en œuvre des technologies d’IA et d’apprentissage automatique (AA) pour obtenir des améliorations substantielles en termes de précision et d’efficacité. Une architecture cible et un modèle de base évolutifs, sécurisés et efficaces seront sélectionnés et documentés pour soutenir l’intégration des capacités d’IA. La phase finale de ce projet impliquera l’intégration transparente des modèles d’apprentissage automatique dans le matériel de l’appareil, assurant une communication synchronisée entre les composants logiciels, matériels et algorithmiques. Une vérification interne rigoureuse optimisera les mesures de performance, tandis que les algorithmes seront validés et testés par des expériences contrôlées en laboratoire et des essais sur le terrain.
