The problem of estimating breath alcohol concentration based on transdermal alcohol biosensor data is considered. Transdermal alcohol concentration provides a promising alternative to classical methods such as breathalyzers or drinking diaries. A physics-informed long Short-term memory (LSTM) network with covariates for the solution of the estimation problem is developed.

Making these devices accessible and practical requires that transdermal alcohol concentration (TAC) be accurately and consistently transformable into the well-accepted measures of intoxication, blood/breath alcohol concentration (BAC/BrAC). A novel approach to estimating BrAC from TAC based on covariate-dependent physics-informed hidden Markov models with two emissions is developed.

We develop an approach to estimate a blood alcohol signal from a transdermal alcohol signal using physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). Specifically, we use a generative adversarial network (GAN) with a residual-augmented loss function to estimate the distribution of unknown parameters in a diffusion equation model for transdermal transport of alcohol in the human body. We design another PINN for the deconvolution of the blood alcohol signal from the transdermal alcohol signal.
