What employees need to know about Gaize

Your employer has adopted Gaize.

We’re here to answer your questions.

Gaize is a Real-Time Test for Drug Impairment

Gaize is a 5 minute test for active drug induced impairment. The system will conduct a series of simple eye tests that are based on the tests law enforcement uses to detect impaired driving.

These tests have a 45+ year history of use and significant scientific validation behind them.

Using the system, your employer will be able to detect impairment from from:

  • Cannabis (and Synthetic Cannabinoids)

  • Alcohol (and Depressant Drugs)

  • Opioids

  • Stimulants

  • Dissociative Anesthetics

  • Psychedelics

Gaize tests are conducting using a specialized VR headset with embedded eye tracking sensors.

How does it work?

When you’re tested using Gaize, you’ll be asked to track a ball on screen using your eyes and only your eyes.

For the last test, the system will expose your eyes to a series of different light levels. This will cause your pupils to change size.

Throughout the testing process, Gaize will measure your:

  • Gaze vector (the direction your eyes are looking)
    to 0.0000000000001 radians

  • Pupil size
    to 0.01 millimeters

  • All captured at 90hz (90x / second)

What will your employer see?

Your employer will have access to:

  • Test results

  • Infrared test video

  • Raw test data

Gaize does not store:

  • Personally Identifiable Information

  • Biometric Information

  • Health Information

Why was this change made?

Employers are faced with an extremely challenging operational environment. They need to both respect employee rights and have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace. Gaize is the solution.

While chemical drug tests can be positive for days or weeks after the last use, Gaize is only able to detect impairment in the moment. This is the key difference between Gaize and a drug test.

Gaize allows employees to safely and responsibly use legal substances on their personal time, and demonstrate their fitness for duty while on the job.

Your employer is has implemented the most accurate, fair, and evidence backed impairment detection system in the world. Please help them keep the workplace safe by arriving sober and ready to work.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Yes. Gaize is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations to use and automatically runs the exact same tests that law enforcement have used for over 45 years.

  • Yes. Gaize is over 98% accurate at detecting the indicators of impairment that law enforcement look for. The system is used by some of the largest safety sensitive employers in the world.

  • If you are found to be positive for presumptive impairment, your employer will follow their Drug Free Workplace policy to determine next steps.

  • This is determined by your employer’s Drug Free Workplace policy. In most cases, a refusal to be tested on Gaize is treated the same as a refusal for a traditional drug test.

  • No. Gaize doesn’t use any classical virtual reality features, so it won’t cause VR sickness / dizziness. It’s as simple as watching a ball move on a black TV.

  • No, Gaize cannot see your retina (back of your eye). The system will record infrared images of your cornea and pupil.
