DENVER, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SOBR Safe, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOBR) ("SOBRsafe"), the leader in next-generation alcohol detection technology, and Orbiit, an AI-driven alcohol recovery platform, are proud to announce their first strategic AI partnership, one that will revolutionize the way individuals manage their alcohol use and sobriety. This collaboration represents both a significant commercial development for SOBRsafe, and a major step forward in recovery support - providing individuals with a non-judgmental, accessible and data-driven path to sobriety.

According to AmericanAddictionCenters.org, over 28 million people in the U.S. suffered from Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in 2023, yet only 15.6% received treatment1. Recognizing the gap in treatment options, the two companies have identified a critical demand for accessible and innovative recovery solutions. This partnership addresses that need by pairing SOBRsafe's transformational transdermal alcohol detection wristband with Orbiit's AI-powered engagement platform, offering a data-driven approach to behavioral modification and enhancing recovery outcomes.

"We are inspired to partner with Orbiit on our shared mission to introduce innovative solutions to individuals on their sobriety journey," said David Gandini, CEO of SOBRsafe. "In addition to the continuous transdermal alcohol detection, real-time alerts and GPS tracking we already offer with our discrete SOBRsure band, SOBRsure users who engage with Orbiit's platform will now have access to 24/7 AI support."

"Human behavior is deeply shaped by habit formation and social reinforcement," said Dr. Edward Valentin, Ph.D, LCSW MAC, a staff neuroscientist at Emory University and research and development consultant for Orbiit. "Integrating wearables like the SOBRsure band with real-time monitoring with Orbiit's daily interventions aligns with well-established behavioral science and affective neuroscience principles. By leveraging classical conditioning and cognitive reinforcement, this partnership has the potential to enhance accountability, motivation and long-term recovery success."

The new partnership features three key components:

• SOBRsure Band – SOBRsafe's wearable device provides passive, transdermal (touch-based) alcohol detection and serves as a constant, visual reminder of an individual's sobriety commitment
• AI-Powered Orbie – A sophisticated chatbot and support system that offers 24/7 engagement, personalized interventions and structured micro-courses designed to reinforce recovery habits
• SMS Accountability Messaging – Strategically timed messages every day keep users engaged, providing encouragement and actionable insights while seamlessly integrating into daily life

The Orbiit Recovery Program is a six-month initiative priced at $3,995, which includes the SOBRsure band and full access to Orbiit's AI-driven platform. Orbiit is accessible online and via text message, while SOBRsure band insights are available through the SOBRsafe app. Future integrations could bring an even more seamless experience, allowing users to view their SOBRsure data directly within the Orbiit platform.

By merging AI and wearable technology, SOBRsafe and Orbiit are setting a new standard for alcohol recovery solutions. For more information about the companies and program availability, please visit and .

ABOUT SOBRsafe
Alcohol misuse is the fourth leading cause of preventable death in America, and the seventh worldwide. Yet prevention and monitoring solutions have not kept pace with this epidemic. Legacy technologies are invasive and inefficient, unhygienic and unconnected. There has to be a better way.

Enter SOBRsafe. Our advanced transdermal (touch-based) technology detects and instantaneously reports the presence of alcohol as emitted through a user's skin - no breath, blood or urine sample is required. With a powerful backend data platform, SOBRsafe provides next generation, passive detection technology for the behavioral health, judicial and consumer markets, and for licensing and integration.

The SOBRsafe technology is commercially available for point-of-care screening (SOBRcheck) and continuous monitoring (SOBRsure). At SOBRsafe, we are creating a culture of prevention and support. To learn more, visit .

Orbiit is a dynamic program that can be used as an after plan, probation fulfillment, accountability strategy and of course as a first line recovery guide.
