pd.id relies on proven technology that
has been used by drug enforcement agencies, such as the U.S. DEA, for years. We started with that technology, (costing tens of thousands of dollars) as our base, then
re-engineered and designed it to be user-friendly and affordable.

Every fluid or drink is made up of a
spectrum of molecular components.
![]()
Once immersed, the pd.id collects
a tiny sample of the fluid in its reservoir.

It then performs three different tests to
identify the drink and its components.
![]()
Although extremely high tech in
function, pd.id is very easy to use. Simply dip, wait a few seconds and the LED
light will indicate if your drink has been drugged.

The pd.id can also pair and function in tandem
with your smart phone, accessing an extensive database of drink profiles and
alerting you with a text or call that your drink has been tampered with.

pd.id is a piece of technology, but it’s actually so much more.![]()
It’s about personal protection, feeling secure and it’s about empowering our daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, spouses, partners, friends, coworkers and ourselves to be safe in an often unsafe world.
In North America, 1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime. 25% of those assaults are facilitated by alcohol or compounds known as Date Rape Drugs.

Yes, we are here to raise
funds. But even more importantly we want to raise awareness about a global

share our campaign and spread the word about our cause and to be a part of the
solution.

device is heading. We’d love to get your feedback on the shape, style, colour
options and anything else you think would add value and help shape pd.id’s
final version. Please post your comment in the tab above and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Our goal is to raise $50,000. This
will enable us to get pd.id out to market within six months at a per item cost of
$75. A successful campaign will provide us the funds to finalize the design and
functionality to create a tool that enhances everyone’s personal safety.

How often can I use pd.id? A: pd.id is consecutively re-useable. It is battery powered and will last the life of the battery.
