SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BIOIMPEDANCE BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT

摘要

There is provided a system for measuring body composition in at least one body segment of a patient, comprising: a plurality of contact components, each including a plurality of electrodes for contacting a body of the patient, each contact component associated with a respective unique address, wherein the contact components are spaced apart and independently positionable at different locations on the body of the patient, at least one multi conductor busbar, wherein each multi conductor busbar is connected to electrodes of at least two contact components, and a controller that selects a first pair of contact components connected by a common multi conductor busbar using the respective unique address, obtains at least one impedance measurement indicative of impedance of a first body segment located between the first pair of contact components, and provides the at least one impedance measurement for estimation of body composition of the first body segment.
