Drug Screening
Accelerate screening efforts while reducing the need for physical testing

Burdensome testing processes are hindering operational success

The US DOW Military Personnel Drug Abuse Testing Program, and DoW Civilian Employee Drug Testing Programs provide a valuable practice of promoting safety, keeping individuals accountable, reducing operational liabilities, and even instances of self-harm. Unfortunately, regular drug screening is very time-consuming, costly, and disruptive to everyday operations, keeping personnel needlessly away from their assigned duties.

Reserve physical testing for the minority high-risk individuals

According to the US DOW in a 2011 report, the DoW attained a drug positive rate of only 0.97 percent, and an overall DoW MEPS drug positive rate of only 0.8 percent. Submitting all members and employees for physical drug testing is inefficient when only a small percentage are likely to fail. A quick triage approach is better suited for identifying potential cases of drug use, allowing for targeted testing, and minimizing productivity disruptions. With Clearspeed’s voice-based risk assessment technology, quickly spot indicators of risk using short, automated questionnaires. Clearspeed gives you reliable, in-the-moment drug use risk insights specific to the individual, allowing you to make confident decisions at scale. When Clearspeed provides a low-risk indicator, you can confidently allow participants to continue on their onboarding path, or to return to their active duty role.

Clearspeed risk insights have been proven in military and commercial use:
Clearspeed risk insights have been proven in military and commercial use:
Branches within the US Department of Defense and South America militaries now use Clearspeed to overcome cumbersome, unreliable, and resource intensive screening. • Received fast risk insights for triaging, allowing for the majority low-risk individuals to return to duty without physical testing
  • Narrowed focus to the 16-19% flagging for risk, requiring urinalysis testing
  • Reduced urinalysis spend and screening cycle time
Large energy producer streamlines current drug screening processes
Client successfully gained the ability to replace or augment current inefficient urinalysis processes, saving critical time and money.
  • Clearspeed found 93% of participants to be low risk urinalysis results while surfacing unseen risk in 7% previously cleared
  • ~$50 USD savings on each low-risk participant who no longer requires urinalysis testing
  • ~40% reduction in screening cycle time
Drug screening during underwriting helps large US life insurer accelerate low risk applications
A central US-based life insurer saw immediate success using Clearspeed to validate risk and accelerate policy candidates.
  • Clearspeed risk screening saves $280 per applicant in avoidance of standard pathing
  • Clearspeed risk indicators fully validated with subsequent physical testing
  • In a large policy applicant, at least one medical condition had not been disclosed on the application for life insurance, resulting in a $1M policy denial

The Clearspeed voice-based risk assessment process starts with individuals being presented with the Clearspeed questionnaire on any voice-enabled device. Clearspeed analyzes the individual’s vocal response to the desired question set, quickly identifying and scoring indicators associated with risk. These point-in-time, individualized results are then returned via API or available with the Clearspeed web app. This insight is used to inform next steps in the vetting or investigation process.
