Abstract
Drunk driving remains a pervasive issue in the United States, resulting in the tragic loss of approximately 28 lives daily, with over 10,000 annual fatalities over the past decade. While existing measures and interventions have shown some effectiveness, they remain insufficient in addressing the multifaceted nature of this public health crisis. Therefore, this inquiry endeavors to explore and develop cutting-edge healthcare technologies and public health strategies to reduce drunk driving incidents and alleviate their profound societal impact. This public health inquiry adopts a perspective paper format, synthesizing contemporary methodologies and insights from industry practices and academic literature. By exploring the development and implementation of innovative healthcare technologies and public health interventions, this chapter contributes to advancing the field and enhancing road safety nationwide. This holistic approach seeks to mitigate the devastating consequences of drunk driving, ultimately protecting individuals, families, and society.
