Shwaas is a portable, smartphone Breathalyzer that analyzes Blood Alcohol Content. Shwaas plugs into smartphone's headphone jack and after downloading the accompanying app, all the user does is blow into the device and BAC is displayed on the Shwaas app. If the device registers any alcohol on the breath, the mobile app informs the user how long it will take him to be sober. If the user is over the legal limit, the app automatically books a cab. Shwaas also helps follow test results as the BAC pattern can be tracked by a dashboard over a week, month or longer.
