Claim:
1. A method for monitoring intoxication of a user, comprising: at a sample receiving module, receiving a signal derived from a breath sample collected from the body of the user at a receipt time point; receiving a supplementary dataset characterizing the user; at a processing subsystem, determining a value of an intoxication metric, derived from the signal upon receiving information derived from the signal by way of a data link coupled to the processing subsystem and the sample receiving module; at the processing subsystem, generating a predicted temporal profile of the intoxication metric for the user based upon the value of the intoxication metric, the receipt time point, and the supplementary dataset; and at a display of the sample receiving module, providing a notification to the user based upon the predicted temporal profile, the notification indicative of an estimated future intoxication state associated with an estimated future time point later than the receipt time point.
