After consuming alcohol, some of ethanol (potable alcohol) escapes through the skin, and this is exactly what the wristband will measure to send the warning signals to the wearer's phone.

The BACtrack wristband has also gotten much attention for its utility, as the breath analyzer free design has managed to get the first prize in the National Institute of Health's Wearable Alcohol Biosensor Challenge, picking up the $200,000 prize money.

The CEO and President of BACtrack Keith Nothacker said in a press statement, "We’re excited to bring BACtrack Skyn to market to aid researchers and treatment providers in collecting more reliable data and ultimately, make advances in healthcare treatment.”

With the unobtrusive design, it looks sleek and doesn't pop out, making it look like most fitness trackers available in the market today, if not better. Some experts even say that Skyn might be one of the more successful products in the consumer healthtech segment, because of its health tracking capabilities.
