Transdermal analysis

Transdermal analysis

« Back to Glossary Index

Transdermal analysis measures alcohol excreted through skin in the form of vaporous perspiration. Since BAC is correlated with the alcohol concentration in sweat, wireless, body-worn devices have been created to continuously measure the perspiration to detect alcohol in the body. The device stores data with time stamps and transmits the data to be downloaded on to a monitoring center.
