Breathometer Is World’s Smallest Smartphone Breathalyzer

Breathometer Is World’s Smallest Smartphone BreathalyzerWe have checked out our fair share of breathalyzers in the past (not because we take a tipple or two at the office during those afternoon siestas, but it the name of hunting down the best and quirky gadgets), where among them include those that are already equipped on a watch. Here is a breathalyzer that is small enough to be hooked up to your smartphone, which is why the Breathometer claims to be the “World’s Smallest Smartphone Breathalyzer”.

The Breathometer is tipped to ship to interested parties this coming October, where the first units will be used to fulfill orders for supporters of Breathometer’s Indiegogo campaign that kicked off earlier this year. Any other additional production units will be sent to new customers and channel partners. The Breathometer comes in a diminutive form factor, being tiny enough to fit on a keychain, where it will be plugged into your smartphone’s audio jack. When used in tandem with a mobile app, it will be changed into a sleek, portable and accurate breathalyzer that is capable of measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Those who are interested can pick up the Breathometer for $49.99 on pre-order, and it will play nice with iOS and Android devices.

    Breathometer lets phone users keep alcohol in check from a keychain (video)

    Breathometer lets Android and iPhone users keep their alcohol in check from a keychain video

    Who knew that smartphone owners were suddenly such temperate drinkers? Just days after Alcohoot unveiled its take on a phone-friendly breathalyzer, Breathometer is here with its own way to watch our tipsiness. The namesake, FDA-approved gadget will plug into the headphone jack of an Android or iOS device and warn if our blood is too alcohol-rich, all while staying small enough to fit on a keychain. Plans are underway to eventually let soused users hail a taxi from the native app. The Breathometer won’t be available until we’re at the height of summer party season, but it should be cheap enough to eliminate any excuses: its Indiegogo campaign is asking for just $20 to secure a Breathometer alongside a pledge, or less than a good night out.

    Breathometer Helps You Stay Safe After Drinking

    Breathometer Helps You Stay Safe After DrinkingAlcohol and driving do not mix, and they are always explosive when they go hand-in-hand, placing not only the driver’s life in danger, but also everyone else on the road. Over the years, there has been campaigns held to educate the general populace not to drink and drive, or at least travel with a designated driver or take the public transport (read: cab) once you are done partying. For those who absolutely need to know just how much they have drunk, how about an iPhone accessory to go along with your smartphone? Yes sir, this is where the Breathometer comes in handy, where it has already picked up approval from the folks over at the FDA.

    The Breathometer works by plugging into the headphone jack of an Android or iOS-powered device, where it will give you a warning should your blood’s alcohol level exceeds the legal limit. It is nice to see the wonders of miniaturization at work here, as the Breathometer is small enough to fit onto a keychain without missing a beat, and there are also plans in the pipeline to allow users to hail a cab from the native app itself. It needs $25,000 to achieve its goal, and you can contribute from as little as $20 a pop.
