Pd.id is a tiny electronic device and mobile app that alerts you when your drink has
been drugged.

"Date rape" drugs have met their high-tech match.
A new electronic device and mobile app called pd.id (Personal Drink ID), aims to help
prevent sexual assaults that occur after a victim has been unknowingly drugged.
Sexual assault is an epidemic in the United States. Nearly one in five -- 20 million -U.S. women and girls have been raped in their lifetimes, and 3 million U.S. women
have experienced drug-facilitated rape, according to a 2007 study by the Medical
University of South Carolina. Another 1.6 million men and boys have also been
victims of sexual assault, according to a similar study conducted by the U.S. Center
for Disease Control in 2010.
