Alcohol measuring wristband wins government competition
BACtrack is a San Francisco company known for making breathalyzers for both law enforcement and ordinary people. But it won the $200,000 grand prize at a National Institutes of Health-sponsored competition for a different kind of blood alcohol monitor altogether: a wristband much like Fitbit and other fitness trackers that can measure BAC from your sweat. The device, called "Skyn," detects alcohol using a fuel cell technology similar to that used by law enforcement. However, it's less bulky and more discreet than existing equipment.
