About Cultivar:
Cultivar Holdings Inc. is a cannabis technology company which is developing artificial intelligence powered impairment detection tools for cannabis as well as alcohol for workplace and law enforcement. PredictMedix is a novel artificial intelligence powered technology developed by Cultivar, which uses facial and voice recognition to identify both cannabis and alcohol impairment. Our proprietary technology utilizes multiple features along with numerous different data points (identified via facial and voice recognition). Testing does not require any body fluids or human intervention, thereby helping to remove human error and the potential for discrimination and prejudice. Cultivar has signed agreements with two multi billion dollar companies: Tech Mahindra and Hindalco to help expedite the launch of its PredictMedix technology for workplace. Cultivar is also focused on becoming premier cannabis producer offering low-cost production targeting initially the Caribbean market place based in Portland, Jamaica.
