BACtrack Skyn is a wearable that can work on its own, or in collaboration with Apple Watch. Wearing Skyn, the system passively monitors alcohol consumption and provides you with an extremely accurate estimate (in almost real time) of how much you have drunk.
A quick glance at the screen gives you blood alcohol content (BAC) data, so you know when it's time to slow down.
According to BACtrack Chairman and Managing Director, Keith Nothacker:
“We are thrilled to be introducing a revolutionary innovation in alcohol monitoring, making it simple for people to monitor their level of alcohol passively, accurately and in near real-time. We are excited to finally share with you these devices, which have been in development for over two years. ”
The BACtrack Skyn Works by measuring small amounts of alcohol, or ethanol molecules, secreted by the skin. This process is known as Transdermal Alcohol Content (TAC). Unlike breathalyzer tests, TAC measurement is continuous and shows immediate results without having to blow on any device.
Once BACtrack gets data, the TAC algorithm converts it into BAC estimates.
So the device displays a visual representation of the level of drunkenness and could save you from some troublesome moments.
Η wearable Skyn BACtrack will be available to 2017, although there is no specific date. Info about device pricing is also unavailable.
