Alcohol Sensor Study

We're looking at two alcohol sensors you can wear, the BACtrack Skyn and ArborSense. We want to know how easy and comfortable these are for you to use every day. Your feedback will help us decide which device is better for future studies.

  • Male, Female, Gender Inclusive

Visit Availability

  • Standard business hours (M-F, 8-5)

Location

What will be asked of you

At your first visit, you will fill out an online survey and have your height and weight measured. We'll show you how to use the wearable sensors and smartphone apps. You'll wear these sensors for 14 days and complete a short survey on your phone each day. After 14 days, you'll return the sensors to the lab and take a 20-minute follow-up survey about your experiences.
