MEET ALCOHOOT

Human condition monitoring is the next advancement in mobile technology - using non-invasive methods to accurately test and track a person’s condition and collect data over time. Alcohoot started with breathalyzer solutions for consumers, law enforcement and mobile fleet management to reduce business costs and save human lives. CEO, Christopher Ayala has built a cross-functional team with skills in executive management, business development, strategy, hardware and software development to run Alcohoot out of New York, NY. Barkley has been working with Alcohoot on their pitch presentation and deck design.

Alcohoot was started in 2012 with the goal to combat drinking and driving. To put this problem in perspective, 28 lives are lost each day in the United States from drinking and driving. Alcohoot is working hard to reduce this number. While the focus the past several years has been on consumer usage, the company is developing blood alcohol monitoring systems for not just consumers, but for law enforcement and mobile work forces as well. Alcohoot’s products are focused on accuracy and design and they plan to continue to scale and innovate.

Alcohoot recently launched a partnership with Kansas City Police Force piloting Alcohoot’s law enforcement platform – Intrepid – confirming device accuracy and providing feedback on hardware and software components.

Barkley is looking forward to Alcohoot’s presentation on Demo Day and following them as they continue to innovate human condition monitoring solutions.

The Breathalyzer You Can Take to the Bar

Alcohoot is a breathalyzer that connects to you smartphone. The small black device plugs into you’re headphone jack. You blow into it and using police-grade accuracy it reads blood alcohol content in a matter of seconds. The device is small enough to fit in your pocket and only weighs 50 grams, which makes it easy to carry when you’re out on the town.

The device goes along with an app, which logs your BAC every time you blow into it through out the night. According to Popular Science, the device “displays you blood alcohol content within a hundredth of a percent.” It takes your results and compares them to your country’s legal limit (0.08 in the US). If it suggests that you should not drive it will suggest nearby restaurants where you can sober up or it will call you a cab or Uber to bring you home.

Alcohoot recommends that you wait 15 minutes after your last drink to use the Breathalyzer. There is a timer feature in the app to help you keep track of when the 15 minutes is up.

I found it interesting that the app tracks personal data and give suggestions as of how to pace yourself next time and stay out longer. The app also helps you avoid over consumption, so you don’t wake up in the morning with a hangover.

You can buy an Alcohoot on the company’s website for $119.

I was curious of how accurate Alcohoot is, since they claim that it is as good as the breathalyzers police use. I found this video of a police officer who helped Alcohoot do a comparison.

I found Alcohoot when I was browsing New Year Applications. I think this is a great little device and application. The device itself is the world's first smartphone breathalyzer and comes in black, red, and white, just in case you want to be stylize.
