SPIKED

Problem:

There is a risk when attending events, generally public ones, involving the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the possibility that these may be adulterated with drugs, causing the person who consumes them to lose consciousness and control, making them more susceptible to various forms of abuse, such as theft, kidnapping, sexual assault, among others.

Idea:

Our idea is making a reusable bracelets that include a charm/pendant that when in contact with a beverage that has been contaminated with drugs it changes color, alerting subjects that they should not consume that beverage.

Main Beneficiaries:

Our beneficiaries are young people around 16-25 years old who are likely to go out to events.
