2. When Would They Use It?
Have you ever wanted a fun night
out with your mates but you have a
meeting or lecture the day after?
Drunk-O-Meter solves this problem
by detecting your alcohol levels,
ensuring that you will not get a
hangover the next morning but you
will still enjoy that crazy night out.
You can either find out your alcohol
levels while having your drinks or
plan your night out beforehand.
As well as this it can detect whether
you are legally allowed to drive in
your country or even whether your
alcohol intake is threatening your
general health.

3. What does our app help with?
Our app gives adults help in a
problem in varying situations. An
example of this could even be that
they are consuming too much
alcohol and they need this app to
inform them of their excessive
alcohol intake. Furthermore, it just
generally tells you when to stop
drinking in order to legally drive
home or concentrate when doing a
work assignment the next day. As
well as this, the ap pallows you to
plan how much you drink before
your night out insuring you will stay
sober.

4. What Phone Features Will The
App Use?
The only phone feature that this app
will be using is the GPS. This is to
show the user the legal alcohol limits
in their current country and whether
they are breeching these limits;
however, this is optional and can be
turned off through the settings page
on your phone.

5. What Has Our Feedback Said?
We interviewed several adults who
gave some good feedback on our app
design and also pointed out some
flaws in our idea such as the need for
planning in advance. We took this
into account when redesigning our
mock-ups, and we feel that the user
profile was very valuable.
What we have found is that our users
can be from a variety of ages and
may be wanting to watch the calorie
count as well as the alcohol.

6. Is There Any Competition?
There is one app which features on
the Google Play Store; however, it is
not very well executed or user
friendly.
We feel this is because, although
that app does inform you of your
blood alcohol content, it is very
difficult to understand the final
results and the app is generally not
very user friendly. In addition to this
there are not any customisable
features of that particular app which
we value in our own application.

7. Is Our App Technically Feasible?
We feel our app is very feasible as it
is simple in design and will be a fairly
small download, as we do not use
many assets. Furthermore we will be
doing the calculations on the client
to allow for offline use.
If we are to make it accurately
measure the alcohol blood volume,
we would need to update medical
data which would be too big to
download unless we have the client
to send their request to a server
which would need internet access.
As a result we have decided to use a
simpler approximate calculation over
an accurate one.

8. Business Case
We have chosen a free app as we
would like it to be as accessible as
possible, however we will also
include adverts to compensate for
the lack of income.
We also queried if we should get a
sponsorship from the governments
Drink Aware program.

9. Marketing
For the marketing of our app, we had
two ideas.
The first of these is to get
sponsorship from the government’s
‘Drink Aware’ programme. Moreover,
we can place posters in different bars
to advertise our application further.

10. Home Screen Mock-Up
Here is the first
screen the app will
go on when you start
it. It gives you a plain
overview of how
much more, of the
previous alcoholic
substance you have
drunk, you can drink
and whether you are
under your current
country’s driving
limit.

11. Information Screen Mock-Up
This is the screen
which shows you the
legal limits of the
country you are in
and also how many
hours it will
approximately take
until you are sober
enough to continue
drinking.

12. Preset Screen Mock-Up
We think its
extremely important
to have
customisation in our
app and this is why
we have a screen
which shows you the
presets of drinks you
have already saved
so you don’t have to
once again fill in
their information.

13. Preset Screen Mock-Up
Here is the screen
where you can say
what drinks you have
already had. There
are two options after
you fill in its
information. These
are to save this drink
as a preset or to add
it to a drinking plan
for the future.

14. Personal Information Screen Mock-Up
This is the screen
where you fill in
personal information
about yourself so
that we can discover
your blood alcohol
content.

15. Drinking Plan Mock-Up
This shows you the
plan you have for
drinking in the
future. After you fill
in the drinks you
want and the
quantity it tells you
whether you will
remain sober and
how many calories
you will consume.

16. We are developing a mobile app to help
people who are out drinking to stay sober
when it counts. We allow our users to plan
their alcohol consumption in advance. We are
doing this to promote safety and awareness of
dangers when drinking alcohol.
Elevator Pitch

17. Overview
So the main use of our app is to plan
how much you drink before or as you
are consuming alcohol. By doing this
we can calculate your blood alcohol
content and give you an estimation
for how drunk you are allowing you
to remain sober.
We have also listened to feedback
from professionals to enhance our
app further such as incorporating the
idea to plan how much alcohol you
consume before you start drinking.

18. We have also created
our own website which
would advertise our app
even further!.
