Purpose/Goal:
Studies of alcoholism often require longitudinal monitoring of the patient’s alcohol consumption. While technology does exist to address this goal in police settings, the alcoholism research field would benefit from a lower cost and customizable device. To address this gap, the capstone team developed a device continuously measures the alcohol consumption of a patient in a non-invasive manner.
