32. A portable alcohol monitoring device, the device comprising:
-
a device body; an alcohol sensor, wherein the alcohol sensor is associated with the device body; a securing device, wherein the securing device is operable to secure the device body to the subject; a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the computer readable medium includes instructions executable by the processor to; receive a plurality of outputs from the chemical sensor; calculate a baseline value using the plurality of outputs from the chemical sensor, wherein the baseline value is a mean value of the plurality of outputs to within a defined confidence; calculating a difference between two of the outputs from the chemical sensor to yield a delta value; averaging the delta value with previously calculated delta values to yield an average delta value; and comparing the average delta value with a previously calculated average delta value to yield a significance factor; and reporting a subset of the plurality of the outputs from the chemical sensor when the significance factor exceeds the baseline value. - View Dependent Claims (33)
