An alcohol and drug intervention system and method, comprising: a server component; and a mobile application component wirelessly coupled to the server component; wherein the server component and the mobile application component are collectively operable for, in an interactive manner, receiving input from a user and presenting the user with output based on the input received from the user, wherein the input received from the user comprises one or more of personal information, activity information, and activity related to alcohol and/or drug use, and wherein the output presented to the user comprises one or more of coaching information and counseling information. Optionally, the system further comprises a testing device coupled to the mobile application component and adjusting one or more of the coaching and counseling information based on results obtained from the testing device.

The claimed invention provides real-time and subsequent analysis personalized user based health, wellness and pharmaceutical and illicit drug detection information. Non-invasive techniques utilize saliva for body levels of wellness indicators and pharmaceutical and illicit drug ingestion which are coordinated over time. Saliva captured on sample strips are real-time indicator reviewed and subsequently analyzed using traditional analytical chemistry techniques including liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and coordinated with time of administration with optional genetic sequence analysis to confirm related disease conditions. By using P4 (Participatory, Personalized, Predictive, and Preventive) health management techniques the patient determines if the pharmaceutical is having the correct and desired effect for maximum therapeutic benefit. While illustrative embodiments detecting Metformin and Keppra are provided the system has broad pharmaceutical and illicit drug monitoring applicability.

A method and system for monitoring a user's intoxication including receiving a set of signals, derived from a set of samples collected from the user at a set of time points; providing a sobriety task to the user proximal to a time point of the set of time points; generating a performance dataset characterizing performance of the sobriety task by the user; receiving a supplementary dataset characterizing a demographic profile of the user and/or a physiological state of the user; determining a set of values of an intoxication metric, derived from the set of signals; generating a predicted temporal profile of the intoxication metric for the user based upon the set of values, the set of time points, and the supplementary dataset; generating an analysis of the user's sobriety based upon the performance dataset and the predicted temporal profile; and providing a notification to the user based upon the analysis.

A vehicle immobilization system includes a detection element operable to detect a level of an intoxicant in a user's breath. A control module is operable to receive a signal from the detection element indicating the level of intoxicant in the user's breath, and to selectively restrict operation of a vehicle based on the level of intoxicant in the user's breath exceeding a threshold. A wireless relay is operable to replace a standard relay in the vehicle, and to wirelessly communicate with the control module such that the control module is operable to control the wireless relay to selectively restrict operation of the vehicle.

A system for transdermal alcohol sensing to be worn near a skin surface of a user, including: an alcohol sensor; a microporous membrane; a housing coupled to the alcohol sensor and the membrane, defining a volume between the alcohol sensor and a first membrane side, and fluidly isolating the volume from a second membrane side opposing the first membrane side; an electronics subsystem electrically coupled to the alcohol sensor, operable to power and receive signals from the alcohol sensor; and a fastener operable to position the second membrane side proximal the skin surface.

A disposable cartridge can be used for biofluid sample collection, preparation, and mixing with reagents. After sample collection, the cartridge can be inserted into a reader for sample analysis. This system can be used for detecting and measuring analytes, such as drugs, in saliva for example. This is useful for point of test detection of drugs in applications such as workplace drug testing and driving under the influence of drugs testing.

Various embodiments provide a mobile communication device, such as a mobile communication device, with functions including telecommunications capabilities, breath sensory functions and, in some instances, environmental air sensing functions. The breath sensory functions can be used to measure alcohol levels, as well as to detect properties that pertain to various health conditions and issues. The environmental air sensing functions can, in at least some embodiments, be provided along with the breath sensory functions.
