Maker Track Overlays: Beginner, Health & Humanity, 5C

Easy Track is a mobile app that helps users monitor their Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) in real time during drinking sessions. Unlike existing alcohol tracking apps that focus on long-term habits, do not provide BAC calculation, and require multiple steps to log a drink, Easy Track is designed for the fast-paced social environments of college life. Built with Flutter/Dart with the help of Perplexity AI, the app allows users to add standard drinks with a single tap and displays predicted peak BAC using simple color codes—green (safe), yellow (caution), and red (danger). Users only need to spend seconds on the app. Aligned with the Code to Connect theme, Easy Track is an ethical tool that helps preserve human connection and improve health. Intoxication can impair communication, awareness, and judgment. By helping users stay within safer BAC ranges, the app promotes more intentional, healthy, and authentic social interactions. Easy Track does not store or transmit personal data, preserving user privacy and ensuring ethical data-handling. The red threshold is set at 0.08—the legal BAC limit—to encourage safe drinking. “Transports” is a word that the 5C community is far too familiar with. Untracked drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning and unsafe or uncomfortable social situations. Therefore, Easy Track was created to reduce hospital transports and help students socialize safely and authentically. It addresses important public health issues like binge drinking and impaired driving in college communities. Users set their sex and weight, then begin a session and log drinks as they go. BAC is calculated using Widmark’s formula and plotted over time for easy interpretation. In future versions, we propose to implement a Sessions page for viewing past drinking sessions, allow users to see their colors and add drinks through a banner notification, and create wearable LEDs that reflect BAC color codes, enabling friends to look out for each other in real time.
