The Singapore Prison Service's automated urine testing system uses deep learning to prevent foul play.
SINGAPORE: An automated urine test system developed in Singapore could be rolled out islandwide from 2024, making drug screening tests more convenient for ex-offenders on their journey towards reintegration.
Currently, ex-offenders must report at Selarang Park Community Supervision Centre to take their tests during the supervision regime, which can typically last for months. For prison officers, PASS also addresses the"pain points" of manual urine testing, which is a labour intensive process, said DSP Sameeyul.
The automated system also enables"consistent interpretation" of test results using the inspection technology developed by HTX, he added. 4. At the back of the system, a robotic system collects the urine and inserts a dipstick to test for drugs and adulterants. This dipstick is then raised in front of small cameras that interpret and record the result.
With manual dipstick tests, supervisees have been known to try various ways of fooling the system, including bringing a prepared urine sample and using a synthetic organ, he said. Any concerns about cross-contamination from other supervisees using the same urinal were also allayed in tests of the flush system.
