"This award is especially remarkable given that we are the only small business selected among a group of huge government agencies and well-established private-industry companies such as Google, DoD."
ROCKVILLE, MD, September 09, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Counterfeit Drug Detector, a patent-pending innovation from Precise Software Solution, Inc. (Precise) was selected as one of the top 8 innovations at the 2020 ACT-IAC Igniting Innovation Award Conference. It also won the Incubator Award, an award given to an innovation not yet in production with the greatest potential.
Precise's innovative new solution deploys multiple wavelength lights and an all-spectrum high definition camera in a portable device. The Precise team developed machine learning algorithms for multi-spectrum image recognition and falsified drug identification. The algorithms are deployed in a minicomputer and use novel machine learning functions to achieve near real time results. The innovation will dramatically reduce staff training and improve the time and accuracy in the increasingly critical field of falsified drug detection. An introduction video can be viewed here.
