'WearSmith' is the name of a new [app-connected breathalyzer detector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drunk-driving-detection) that's been designed as the smallest and lightest Bluetooth device of its kind on the market.

While the breathalyzer detector can be used in conjunction with an app, it can also be used on its own, as the device's OLED display is capable of displaying one's [blood alcohol concentration (BAC)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sure-shot) directly on its face. For more detailed analytics, the smart device is capable of being used alongside the [app to provide an analysis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soberly) of how long it will take a person to recover from drinking, as well as how long until they will be sober and capable of driving safely.

The keychain-sized device is currently raising funds as part of a campaign on Indiegogo, which will help to support mass production of the smart and small-scale breathalyzer.
