Abstract
An electronic ankle monitor, a process for a control unit of an electronic ankle monitor, as well as to a process for detecting alcohol in sweat are provided. The electronic ankle monitor (10) includes an electrochemical sensor (11) and an electrically operated heating element (12) for heating skin (20) in an area around the electrochemical sensor.
Claims20
An electronic monitor comprising:
- an electrochemical sensor;
- a humidity sensor;
- and
- an electrically operated heating element configured to heat skin of a user in an area around the electrochemical sensor, wherein the electrochemical sensor is a diffusion sensor, the electrically operated heating element comprising an electrically operated heating element surface configured to face in a direction of the skin of the user, at least a portion of the electrically operated heating element being configured to be located between the electrochemical sensor and the skin of the user, the electrochemical sensor being located at a spaced location from the electrically operated heating element, wherein the electrically operated heating element comprises a resistance heater, wherein the electronic monitor is an electronic monitor for monitoring alcohol abuse by means of the electrochemical sensor.
