Ahmed 1 Namil Ahmed Dr. McSkimming ENGR 2002 3 September 2022 Annotated Bibliogrophy Iontophoretic-Biosensing System a convenient, beneficial alcohol monitoring tool that uses sweat to detect if an individual has drank too much alcohol. Its main goal is to combat drunk driving and make people aware if they are unable to drive. In approximately eight minutes people are able to quickly receive their alchol levels to their phone and hopefully spurn from doing unforgivable acts. But a question that came to mind while reading about this alcohol testing device is how does it work and how accurate is it? Also will it’s results actually alter intoxicated individuals from getting behind the wheel? The IEEE-formatted bibliographic information and a summary for at least three sources in addition to the one provided in your reading assignment. The summaries should describe the information from the paper that contributes to you answering your question. Your sources should represent at least three "generations" of knowledge: the central paper, a paper that was referenced in that one, and a paper citing the central paper. Obviously since your summaries need to relate to a common purpose, using the first three papers you find is inappropriate. Ahmed 2 In “Noninvasive Alcohol Monitoring Using a Wearable Tattoo-Based Iontophoretic-Biosensing System” the author talks about a very useful device that measures alcohol levels in an individual through sweat. The author also goes in depth of how the patch works and says “Iit is a non invasive patch that is easy to use and is hidden within your clothing [8].” Once the test is started it takes apporximetely 8 minutes until the results are transmitted to the user's smartphone. The ultimate goal of this “tattoo” is to combat people from drunk driving which is a major issue all over the world. “CLASP A novel sensor for simultaneous detection of alcohol and glucose from passive perspired sweat” goes more in depth about the science and how the Alcohol monitoring system works. Perspired Sweat from humans is a very valuable source for information in telling about what people have consumed. These biosensors are also an inexpensive alternative and is “expected to grow into a $45.4 billion market” because of the seamlessness of these sensors. Scientists have done numerous tests discussed that “the robustness and stability of the combinatorial biosensor is evaluated by performing dynamic continuous monitoring of alcohol in perspired human sweat [542]” which has told me that the accuracy of these biosensors are great. The number of citations and references this source had showed me it is a reliable source. Also the journal impact was 12.545 which was a good sign. This source is great for finding detailed information on the sensors and the impact they’ve had so far which is why CLASP is my central source. Ahmed 3 A. Bhide, S. Muthukumar, and S.

[Accessed: 30-Aug-2022]. “Electrochemical monitoring of alcohol in sweat” another database which cites my central paper “CLASP” is also about the alcohol biosensor technology and how it works. First it talks about the ease of access from these sensors and how the only other methods to detect alcohol are by urine, blood, or breath. A question that was brought up to mind was how these sensors work, but to be more in depth “how sweat can be hard to build up for individuals.” “Induced sweat can be produced via pilocarpine electrophoresis [2]” which is a cholinergic agent that pressures the body to generate sweat. This database didn’t have as many citations and references, but looking more in depth at the authors proved that this was a good, reliable source that I could use. J. Biscay, E. Findlay, and L. Dennany, “Electrochemical monitoring of alcohol in sweat,” Web of science. [Online]. Available: https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:000600787800044. [Accessed: 30-Aug-2022]. Ahmed 4 Finally an article “A Review on Flexible Electrochemical Biosensors to Monitor Alcohol in Sweat” which referenced my central database CLASP is a review on the Electrochemical Biosensors. This database states that breathalizers are another form of tests on levels of alcohol, but the “resulting measurments can be inaccurate from environmental factors” [4]. The alcohol sensors work from the biomakers which include ethanol, ethylglucuronide, ethylsulfate, and etc, but mostly ethanol is the detection of alcohol. This monitor is extremely useful to alert people from doing unforgivable acts such as drunk driving or any other harmful things. From these multiple readings I can conclude that these sensors are extremely accurate and has overall reduced drunk driving. The author qualifications were good as well on this source with a high number of citation references which is a sign of source that has reliable information. N. G. Costa, J. C. Antunes, A. J.
