Who are BACtrack?
BACtrack is a San Francisco based breathalyzer specialist. The company was formed in 2001 by its current CEO and founder. Keith noticed that the use of breathalysers at this time was limited as they were purely in the domain of law enforcement. They were being used after the event, when people were being caught driving under the influence of alcohol, so they were already posing a danger. He realised that if people had their own personal devices, then safer, more informed decisions would follow. For example, fewer people would get behind the wheel in the first place, making the roads safer for all.
Keith additionally decided to use the company to spread information on the health and wellbeing repercussions of drinking to allow people to make better decisions about alcohol in general. BACtrack was born and their
breathalysers are now used in businesses, schools, homes, and institutions in over 85 countries.

BACtrack in The Media
Over the years, Keith has appeared on many well-known media channels such as Dr Phil, CNBC, Fox 2. Additionally, the company has also been published in magazines and newspapers such as The New York times, Los Angeles Times, Popular Science Magazine, and Car & Driver Magazine. In 2008 the popular TV show “MythBusters” used a BACtrack breathalyser to discuss myths about alcohol and breathalysers. In 2011 Dr Phill and “The Doctors” described the S80 Pro as “a necessary safety device”
In 2004 the San Francisco based company became the first to obtain FDA approval in the USA to make and sell breathalysers for private use. Since then the company has strived to create products that are technologically advanced, reliable, accurate, and affordable. This makes BACtrack the world leader in personal breathalysers. For example, in 2017, 3 of the Top 5 Best Breathalysers available to buy for personal use as judged by “Business Insider” were BACtrack breathalysers.
Latest Innovations by BACtrack
The company is now the global innovator of breath alcohol testing technology. Having released the world’s first smartphone connected breath tester in 2016 BACtrack released the world’s first wearable alcohol monitor called the Skyn in 2019. The Skyn uses trans-dermal monitoring technology to sample secretions of alcohol through the skin around the test subject’s wrist area. This monitoring is continuous, giving real time results to the wearer. Furthermore, the Skyn was awarded the Grand Prize in the NIH “Wearable Alcohol Biosensor Challenge” and became sought after around the world.
Helping With Alcohol Consumption
In 2019, BACtrack released BACtrack View. This program allows friends and/or relatives of a subject to monitor their alcohol consumption. The View uses the front facing camera of a smart phone to photograph the subject using a BACtrack Mobile device to test their breath. This image proves that it is the correct person completing the breath test. The results are then shared remotely with the person monitoring the test.,
This process allows alcoholics to be held accountable to their friends and family and can also be used to prove sobriety in custody or other legal situations. The tests can also be set as a regular reminder and missed tests will result in a notification to the person monitoring the subject. Currently this system is offered as a subscription program, with a Mobile breathalyzer device also included in the fee.
BACtrack breathalysers are not just about reducing drink driving statistics, and avoiding traffic tickets. Equally as important is the work BACtrack puts in to making it easier for you to manage your sobriety when attempting to reduce or eliminate alcohol from your life. Helping make the journey from addict to sober easier is an important part of the BACtrack story. Company technicians are constantly working on new, more efficient, and affordable ways to do this. BACtrack has also conducted intensive research into why, how, and when people drink to create an overview of alcohol consumption around the world that can be used for many purposes.
