New Research Presented at ACMT 2026: Smartwatch Technology May Detect Cannabis Intoxication in Real Time

Preliminary data demonstrates that wearable sensor technology, including smartwatch devices, may offer a practical and objective way to detect cannabis intoxication. By measuring real time physiological markers such as heart rate variability and electrodermal activity, researchers were able to identify patterns associated with impairment.

The findings, supported by a 2024 Innovative Research, Teaching, and Practice Grant from the Medical Toxicology Foundation, were presented at the American College of Medical Toxicology Annual Scientific Meeting 2026 in Boston.
