impairment detection

Impairment detection refers to identifying when an individual's ability to perform tasks safely and effectively is diminished due to factors like fatigue, medications, health conditions, or substance use. It involves assessing signs such as impaired judgment, slower reactions, or physical coordination issues. Detecting impairment is important for ensuring safety, especially in work, driving, or operational settings, and often involves monitoring behaviors, using technology, or conducting tests to determine if someone's performance indicates they are not in a fully alert and capable state.
