SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Know Labs, Inc. (NYSE American: KNW), a leading developer of non-invasive sensor technology, announced today that it has retained The Stanbridge Group to secure a strategic relationship with an automotive original equipment manufacturer to embed the Know Labs sensor technology in automobile steering wheels. In early preliminary tests, the Know Labs sensor demonstrated, in a laboratory setting, that it can non-invasively determine blood alcohol levels and the Company believes, in an automobile steering wheel, could prohibit an impaired individual from driving.

This discovery occurred during the early development of the Company’s non-invasive glucose monitoring technology. That lead to the filing in 2022 by Know Labs of a patent entitled, “” on August 15, 2022. It was published on February 15, 2024, with publication number: US 2024/0050007 A1.

Our broad patent portfolio covers installing our sensor technology in an automobile steering wheel.

The Stanbridge Group is working to secure a joint venture partner for this exciting application of our platform technology while we continue the Company’s core focus on non-invasive blood glucose monitoring.”
