How it Works
The Science
SOBRsafe utilizes transdermal science to detect alcohol consumption. When a person consumes alcohol, a measurable amount (1%) is excreted through the skin.
This demonstrates a correlation between Transdermal Alcohol Content (TAC) and Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)/Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC).
Our Sensor
The body typically eliminates one standard drink per hour, and transdermal emissions begin approximately 20 to 45 minutes after drinking.
Our technology utilizes an electrochemical sensor to convert these outputs into parts per million of alcohol, ensuring accuracy and consistency, and eliminating human error.
Sound Technology
SOBRsafe’s proprietary algorithm converts sensor outputs to TAC readings. Our technology:
- Uses a pass/fail to approximate 0.02 equivalence
- Features a multifactor analysis including various environmental, physiological & sensor readings to establish results.
- Has been successfully deployed for commercial use since 2022. Today, our server is tracking more than 1 million device interactions per month.
