2. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

MindBio Therapeutics Corp. (MBIO:CSE; MBQIF:OTCQB; WF6:Frankfurt) announced the completion of its new proprietary technology, Intox Collect^TM, a software that has enhanced the company's ability to detect and analyze the human central nervous system for a range of stimulants and depressants. On April 12, 2026, MindBio released a statement, saying,"In a world first, MindBio has developed an AI model that uses over 50 million data points (with that number expected to triple in the coming months) to predict drug and alcohol intoxication with remarkable accuracy, just by using the human voice. The completion of the company's new Intox CollectTM software allows the company to expand its prediction technology to a range of substances that affect the central nervous system, which, when consumed, impair cognition and human performance."

MindBio CEO Justin Hanka said about the news release, "The digital health diagnostics market represents a significant opportunity for MindBio to leverage its diagnostics technology with a first mover advantage in speech analytics for drug and alcohol intoxication detection. Our technology gives us a significant advantage in using voice to develop non-invasive health diagnostic tools."

MindBio Therapeutics Corp. is a Canadian biotech company intent on leveraging AI technology to analyze the human voice and detect impairment due to alcohol or illicit substances. Through the development of personal-use smartphone apps and mass-use corporate kiosks, MindBio is developing software that could help reduce accidents due to intoxication. The proprietary technology analyzes up to 140 vocal markers, focusing on parameters like spectral entropy, jitter, and shimmer, and speech rate variability.

The company describes its vision as developing ". . . A world where voice-based biomarkers are a standard component of healthcare—enabling continuous, passive health monitoring that catches problems early and improves outcomes for everyone, everywhere."

Currently, MindBio is creating inroads into the mining, aviation, construction, and law enforcement industries.

Addiction and Abuse in the Mining Sector

MindBio recently stated that screening for drug and alcohol intoxication at scale can prevent unnecessary harm through the detection of physiological decline. The company offered statistics that estimate a 10-20x increase in suicide risk while heavily intoxicated. It also claims that 40-50% of suicides involve alcohol, noting that the global alcohol harm cost sits at around US$1.6 trillion.

The risk of addiction and drug or alcohol abuse rises due to many factors, like parental monitoring, peer pressure, socioeconomic status, type of substance, stress, drug availability, and occupation, according to the American Addiction Centers. They cite the mining industry as "particularly conducive to substance abuse," due to job stress, physical demand, and injuries from prolonged work.

The entire biotech sector has shown exponential growth recently. "The global biotechnology market size was estimated at US$1.55 trillion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$3.88 trillion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.96% from 2024 to 2030," said Grandview Research. In September 2025, Market and Market Analysis considered the AI detector market as "undergoing rapid expansion, with estimates projecting a substantial market value surge from approximately US$0.58 billion in 2025 to US$2.06 billion in 2030."

MindBio is Catching Analysts' Attention

On February 3, 2026, The Canadian Mining Journal reported that, "Studies in Chile reveal that alcohol consumption among mining workers exceeds 75%, with over 40% classified as problem drinkers." The article noted the potential efficacy of MindBio's kiosks in accident prevention, saying, "A single preventable incident can cost a mining company hundreds of millions in lost production, union boycotts, and insurance and medical expenses."

Knowlton Thomas, for Techcouver, wrote on January 26, 2026, that ". . . Leveraging more than 50 million data points from drug and alcohol clinical trials and proprietary algorithms across over 100 acoustic parameters, MindBio is now commercializing its technology." 

¹Most recently, Stewart Thomson gave Streetwise Reports a contributed technical analyst opinion about MindBio on April 1, 2026. Thomson rated MindBio as a 'Strong Speculative Buy', with a short-term price target of CA$1.70, a medium-term price target of CA$3.00, and a long-term price target of CA$6.00.

Building Relationships Across Industries

According to the company's latest presentation, MindBio intends to deploy its Edge AI voice drug and alcohol detection kiosks in June 2026, hoping to test at a large scale in zero-tolerance industries. The company is already partnering with mines in South America and is in talks with other industries. 

While enterprise and telehealth capacities are in development right now, future plans include disease prediction and health optimization.
