Sliding in your pocket, the connected device, Breeze from the company, Breathometer works on the same principle as a normal breathalyser. From a simple breath, the machine collects the data, and transmits it to the mobile application. This analyses it and after a couple of seconds, displays the user’s alcohol level. If alcohol is detected, the telephone displays the approximate time required to eliminate the alcohol from your body. For someone with a high alcohol level, the alternatives (taxi, call a friend) are proposed so that they can safely return home.
The application also lets you find a place to eat (restaurants, supermarkets, bakers...), pass the time or sleep (hostels, hotels...). With its additional, washable mouthpiece, Breeze can also be shared with people you know. You have the choice to share it with or without a mouthpiece - "without a mouthpiece it’s kind of like sharing a whistle – so use your own judgement".
Sold at the price of 99.99 $ (around 84 €) on the Breathometer site, the device also had a previous version that connected to the jack of your telephone. Whilst it is half the price of the Breeze, it requires calibration every 250 uses or every 9 months, costing only 19.99 $.
In addition, the company has developed a third device, recently presented at the CES in Las Vegas. Financed on Kickstarter, Mint strongly resembles Breeze. However, the data collected lets you, in this case, analyse your oral hygiene and body hydration, with both influencing the overall health of your body.
