Method and system for monitoring intoxication
First Claim
1. A method for informing a user of an intoxication state over time, comprising:
- upon receiving an input provided by the user at a user interface of a wrist-borne mobile computing device, prompting the user to provide a breath sample to a sample receiving module in communication with the wrist-borne mobile computing device, at a first time point;
at a processing subsystem in communication with the wrist-borne mobile computing device, receiving a breath sample signal derived from the breath sample;
at the processing subsystem, determining a value of a blood alcohol content (BAC) metric from the breath sample signal;
at the processing subsystem, generating a predicted temporal profile of the blood alcohol content metric for the user over time, including an estimated time point at which the user will reach a state of sobriety, based upon the value of the blood alcohol content metric and the first time point; and
transmitting commands, from the processing subsystem to the wrist-borne mobile computing device, that prompt the wrist-borne mobile computing device to display information from an analysis derived from the predicted temporal profile and informative of the estimated time point at the user interface, thus informing the user of the intoxication state over time.

Abstract
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.

11. A method for informing a user of an intoxication state over time, comprising:
-
using a mobile computing device associated with the user and having a user interface, prompting the user to provide a breath sample to a sample receiving module in communication with the mobile computing device, at a first time point; at a processing subsystem in communication with at least one of the mobile computing device and the sample receiving module, receiving a breath sample signal derived from the breath sample; at the processing subsystem, determining a value of an intoxication metric from the breath sample signal; at the processing subsystem, generating a predicted temporal profile of the intoxication metric for the user over time, including an estimated time point at which the user will reach a target intoxication state, based upon the value of the intoxication metric and the first time point; and transmitting commands, from the processing subsystem to the mobile computing device, that prompt the mobile computing device to display information from an analysis derived from the predicted temporal profile and informative of the estimated time point at the user interface, thus informing the user of the intoxication state over time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
