urBAC creates a simple and reliable way to measure your BAC. It is constituted of a bracelet and an app that work together to give your exact BAC by transdermally testing your sweat. Since our society consumes a lot of alcohol, our purpose for this app is to not only reduce drunk driving in our society but keep you aware of their physical and mental capabilities. It uses a color scale which tells you how drunk you are, ensuring that you are conscious and able to make rational decisions. Wanting to develop a community based product, the app, in conjunction with the bracelet, will automatically notify your friends in the group preselected in order to let them know you may need help to find a safe environment. This feature keeps you accountable to both yourself and others. Although urBAC can not stop you from driving under the influence, we wanted to offer an option to alert you and your friends about the state you are in.
Since Monday, we made some adjustments off the ideas discussed in class. The main change is the color system. We agreed with the problem of designating yellow for the illegal limit of 0.08% BAC, so we changed it to red and made the BAC levels after 0.08 into into a purple. Another suggestion we included was the idea of using GPS. We enabled in the setting a feature capable of tracking you that would allow your friends to find you when they're needed. The last piece of advice we incorporated was the situation of having your BAC recorded as a history. In the end, we decided to create an option of turning this off or on in the settings. Allowing people to decide how they want urBAC to assist them became a major focus, and we hope you enjoy our idea.
