LaVonda Brown, a [Georgia Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magtrack) student, has developed a new app that can determine if a user is [sober enough to drive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-driving-app). Dubbed the EyeGage, LaVonda Brown's design is currently competing at this year's Disrupt Startup Battlefield competition.

The EyeGage app is free and works by assessing a user's eyes and determining whether or not they are sober enough to get behind the wheel. EyeGage is currently working on compiling a database of eye types and measuring the impact of alcohol on different eye features. The startup plans to conduct a study where participants consume alcohol, and researchers will assess how eyes change in intoxicated individuals.

The company plans to develop a similar database and technology that can access the [levels of other substances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greenlane) in the body - such as marijuana and drugs.
