A breath test only counts if you know who took it, where, and when. Every Element test records all three.

  • Who

    Facial recognition matches the person testing to the face registered at intake.

  • Where

    The GPS location is tagged to the reading, along with a photo taken at the moment of the test.

  • When

    Scheduled or random prompts, with every result timestamped and kept on the record.

From breath to record in under 15 seconds

  1. Test prompted

    A scheduled or random test request reaches the participant's handheld device.

  2. Face verified

    Facial recognition confirms the person holding the device is the participant registered at intake.

  3. Breath sample

    The participant blows steadily while the fuel-cell sensor reads breath alcohol content right on the device.

  4. Photo and GPS

    A photo and the GPS location are captured with the reading.

  5. Result screened

    Our platform checks the reading against the participant's sobriety requirements.

  6. Officer informed

    A clean result is saved to the record, available to the officer anytime and ready for court.

    A positive reading routes straight to the assigned officer, with a live specialist standing by.
