Monitoring fitness has never been this easier, thanks to advancements in digital technology. Smart devices like the Apple Watch enable users to track vital stats, such as heart rate, blood pressure, calories burned, or step counts. The Apple Watch is a top-range wearable that can collect, process, and store data through the wrist. In addition, the smartwatch can now monitor the blood alcohol level through the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch. This innovation enables users to know how much alcohol was consumed and the level of intoxication. Furthermore, there are several ways to determine the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) through the Apple Watch. 

Alcohol Monitoring through the BACtrack Skyn

BACtrack is a leading expert in breathalysers, specialising in advanced sensor technologies to accurately measure the BAC level. Breathalysers help individuals monitor their alcohol levels and keep them within the legal limit for driving. Moreover, many people use devices from Breathalysers New Zealand to help them moderate intake and avoid drink driving. For example, you are subject to legal charges or penalties if your BAC is 0.05% or higher. You may face hefty fines, imprisonment, license disqualification, or an alcohol interlock. Today, alcohol monitoring is more convenient with the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch. The BACtrack Skyn is the world’s first wearable biosensor, systematically giving continuous updates from the wrist. Additionally, it is a revolutionary way of estimating alcohol concentration through sweat. You may estimate your BAC through the following options:

• BACtrack Skyn as a standalone device
• The BACtrack for Apple Watch through the Skyn App
• BACtrack for Apple Watch wristband

How the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch Works

The BACtrack Skyn employs an enzyme-based electrochemical sensor first to estimate the Transdermal Alcohol Content (TAC). Transdermal alcohol testing is the detection of alcohol expiration through the skin. Particularly, the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch uses biosensors to gather alcohol information through the sweat on the wrist. Moreover, it is a passive and non-invasive way to learn about the individual’s consumption behaviour. When we consume alcohol, the ethanol molecules pass through the stomach and small intestines to the bloodstream. Then, the blood circulates alcohol to different body parts, where they stay for definite periods. Approximately one per cent of ethanol excretes through the sweat. Therefore, the BACtrack Skyn analyses the sweat to get the TAC and has a proprietary algorithm to convert it into BAC. Lastly, the biosensor technology is similar to the fuel cell sensors that BACtrack utilise in the breathalysers, which has police-grade accuracy. 

Operating the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch

Using the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch is an efficient and innovative way of knowing your alcohol content. Likewise, it brings various new features that make alcohol testing faster and easier. The BACtrack Skyn is a standalone wearable device or an interchangeable wristband compatible with the Apple Watch. To use the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch, simply attach the band to the smartwatch to monitor the changes in the BAC. The device passively collects the TAC every twenty seconds and sends the data to the BACtrack Skyn App. You may see the changes in your alcohol level through a graph. Additionally, once the device has gathered enough TAC data, the proprietary algorithm of BACtrack converts it into BAC results. 

Another way of using the BACtrack Skyn for the Apple Watch is through the BACtrack Mobile Pro breathalyser. The Mobile Pro is a pro-grade breathalyser using fuel cell sensors to measure the BAC accurately. It has smartphone connectivity that pairs with an iOS or Android device. Furthermore, it is compatible with the Apple Watch and BACtrack Skyn app. To check the BAC, launch the BACtrack app on the Apple Watch and tap “Take a BAC Test Now.” Upon the blow signal, provide a continuous blow to the Mobile Pro and wait for your results. The breathalyser analyses the breath sample and delivers the BAC results directly to the Apple Watch screen. You may use the BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch to update your BAC constantly as you consume alcohol. 

Features  and Advantages of the BACtrack Skyn

Consumers who do not test their alcohol content have an increased risk of getting into an accident. Alcohol-impaired driving is one of the leading causes of road crashes and collisions in New Zealand. Therefore, it has led to stricter road safety regulations to reduce the negative impacts of drink driving. In addition, devices from Breathalysers New Zealand help people to know their alcohol levels to avoid accidents or getting a DUI charge. The BACtrack Skyn Apple Watch band and app use advanced functions to monitor the alcohol content conveniently. Moreover, the device enables efficient BAC testing through the following features:

• Passive monitoring – The Skyn uses an innovative biosensor to measure the trace amount of ethanol exiting the skin every twenty seconds. By simply wearing the device, you would not need to blow to a breathalyser every hour or use your smartphone. 
• Apple Health support – The Skyn app integrates with Apple Health to access monitoring tools related to alcohol consumption. For example, users may compare BAC levels and sleep patterns or see how drinking patterns affect daily routines. You may also use it to understand how alcohol affects exercise or daily activities through fitness apps.
• Active ZeroLine – A significant upgrade from the smartphone feature is the Active ZeroLine technology. This feature gives a continuous countdown update of when your BAC level will return to 0.00% based on the last reading. You may view the update by glancing on the Apple Watch screen. 

Alcohol Monitors at Breathalysers New Zealand

The BACtrack Skyn for Apple Watch enables you to monitor your BAC level from the wrist efficiently. The device easily integrates with daily activities using Apple Health tools. Furthermore, it helps enhance fitness tracking and aid in making better health and safety decisions. It makes BAC testing faster, more discreet, and more convenient. Alternatively, you may check your BAC through alcohol breath testers at Breathalysers New Zealand. Breathalysers NZ offers accurate and reliable BAC tests through BACtrack personal devices. Most BACtrack breathalysers utilise fuel cell sensors to measure the precise BAC level. The fuel cell breathalysers are specific to ethanol and do not react with other substances in the breath. As a result, they do not produce false positives and give consistent BAC readings. 

The BACtrack breathalysers have a one-touch system, enabling you to facilitate a breath test easily. Simply power on the device and wait for the signal to blow. Additionally, the breathalysers process the breath sample and deliver the BAC results in 10 to 15 seconds. You may choose from the wide array of BACtrack breathalysers in different styles or features that suit your needs. For instance, you may get the Mobile Pro which syncs wirelessly to the BACtrack Skyn Apple Watch band and app. Reliable devices like the BACtrack breathalysers and Skyn helps you understand the effects of alcohol in your body to make informed decisions.
