A tamper proof transdermal alcohol content monitoring device is made up of
analog and digital sides which are securely attached to the human subject
to be monitored. The analog side has a sampling circuit which draws a
measured insensible skin perspiration sample from the skin of the subject
and measured with an electrochemical fuel cell. A distance measurement of
the device from the skin of the subject and temperature of the sample are
monitored along with the transdermal alcohol content, and converted to
digital signals which are transmitted to a modem when the monitor is in
proximity to the modem. The signals are stored in the modem and uploaded
to a central monitoring station. Automatic alerts may be sent from the
central monitoring station to a supervising agency. The supervising
agency may also access the information through secured dedicated websites
via the Internet.
