Vertical segmental tetrapolar bioimpedance for excess body fat assessment in adolescents

Design and development of a low-cost arduino-based electrical bioimpedance spectrometer

“…This device can be used to estimate human body compositions, through information on total body water, extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid, fat-free mass, and fat mass from its impedance data. [ 1 2 3 ] BIS analysis is capable of giving immense amount of helpful information on physiological conditions such as lymphedema,[ 4 ] pulmonary edema,[ 5 ] diabetic,[ 6 ] tongue cancer,[ 7 ] ischemia,[ 8 ] skin cancer,[ 9 ] and intramuscular tumors. [ 10 ] Since there is an increasing demand of BIS usage in both hospitals and homes, it is desirable to advance an improvement for a more practical BIS.…”
