Smart Breath: Remote Alcohol Monitoring From Your Smartphone
Smart Breath turns your smartphone into a verified alcohol monitoring system. A small Bluetooth breathalyser that fits on your key ring works with the Smart Breath app to record every breath test, confirm who took it and show where it was taken.
Smart Breath is a remote alcohol monitoring service for family court alcohol testing, child custody arrangements, employment agreements and voluntary accountability. It pairs the professional grade BACtrack Mobile breathalyser with a monitoring app on your own iPhone or Android phone. Each test captures your breath alcohol result, a short video check-in verified by facial recognition, the time and your location, then sends it straight to the people who need to see it.
There is no bulky unit to carry. The breathalyser weighs about 60 grams, slips into a pocket or handbag and clips onto your keys, so it is always with you when a test is due.

What Smart Breath Is And How It Works
We set up your testing schedule with you and the person monitoring you, such as your lawyer, case manager or employer. Your breathalyser arrives calibrated and ready to use.
When a test is due, your phone tells you. Turn on the breathalyser and it connects to the app by itself. The app records a short video while you blow, checks your face matches the person enrolled, and uploads the result with your location. If you are slow to respond, the app keeps reminding you until the test is done.
You can also take a test whenever you choose, which is useful before a custody handover or any time you want to show you are alcohol free.

Trusted For Family Court, Custody And Employment Testing
Smart Breath gives families, legal professionals and employers clear, verified evidence of sobriety without the need for in-person testing.
Professional Grade Accuracy
The BACtrack Mobile uses a fuel cell sensor, the same type of technology used in police breathalysers. In an 18 month study by the manufacturer, units held their accuracy for at least 12 months. An independent paper by the Justice Speakers Institute found its results meet the United States standards for scientific evidence in court.
Verified Identity At Every Test
Facial recognition with liveness detection confirms the right person is taking the test, and it cannot be fooled by a photo. Nobody else can blow for you.
Continuous GPS Location
Smart Breath tracks your phone's location around the clock, not only during tests. Each result shows where it was taken, and the people monitoring you can see where you have been. Tracking is always on and cannot be switched off. If that does not suit your situation, talk to us about Smart Mobile, which does not use your phone.
Instant Alerts And Automatic Reports
Missed and failed tests trigger an immediate email or text alert. Daily or weekly reports show every result, video check-in and location.
Tests That Happen Where They Matter
Smart Breath can ask for a test at the moment it counts, not only at set times.
Tests Triggered By Location
We can set a zone around a place, such as a school, the other parent's home or a work site. When you arrive, the app asks for a test straight away. It is a simple way to prove sobriety before picking up children or starting a shift.
Scheduled, Random And Voluntary Testing
Whether you need a morning and evening test for a custody arrangement or random tests through the day under a court order, Smart Breath can be set up to suit.
Reminders That Keep You On Track
Regular in-app messages remind you to keep the breathalyser with you and charged, so a flat battery never becomes a missed test.
Smart Breath Or Smart Mobile?
Both give verified, remotely reported alcohol tests. Smart Breath uses your own smartphone and adds continuous GPS tracking and location triggered tests. Smart Mobile is an all-in-one device with its own camera and mobile connection, so no smartphone is needed.
Pricing And What Is Included
Smart Breath is available for a single monthly fee of $299, which includes the breathalyser, the app, monitoring, alerts, reporting and support. There is no minimum term, so you can use it for as long as you need.
