Through next-generation alcohol detection technology, we enable trust and empower a healthier lifestyle without the use of alcohol.
-
SOBRsafe’s advanced transdermal (touch-based) technology detects and reports in real-time the presence of alcohol as emitted through a user’s skin - no breath, blood, or urine samples are required. With a powerful backend data platform, SOBRsafe provides next generation, passive detection technology.
SOBRsafe Technology: How it Works
What is Transdermal Detection?
- The basic transdermal functionality has been validated by over 8o years of research – this is not new science (just an advanced approach).
- As opposed to invasive testing like breath or blood, transdermal technologies detect alcohol through passive contact with the skin.
- As humans process alcohol, a measurable amount gets released through our pores.
- Transdermal, or touch-based, solutions can identify the presence of alcohol (“pass/fail”) for use in zero tolerance applications.
The SOBRsafe Difference
- Our state-of-the-art transdermal sensor is highly precise, and is “tuned” for early, low alcohol detection – beginning at approximately 20 minutes.
- We detect the presence of alcohol at least equivalent to breathalyzers, and our technology detects alcohol in the body for longer than both breath and blood.
- Our proprietary software acclimates to the wearer’s environment, ensuring greater accuracy and removing human error.
Proven Technology
- Our sensor received an NIAAA grant award in 2017, and has received significant investment since 2019.
- It has been in commercial use since the 2022 launch of SOBRcheck™ for stationary screening – that device has now reported over 100,000 alcohol-free scans.
- Today, SOBRsafe is supporting more than 1 million device interactions per month.
