WEARABLE DEVICE FOR MEASURING EDEMA INDEX AND METHOD OF MEASURING EDEMA INDEX USING SAME

摘要

A wearable device for measuring an edema index includes: a band, wearable on a wrist; an electrode module including a pair of current electrodes and a pair of voltage electrodes; and a main module applying an alternating current (AC) to the pair of current electrodes, and obtaining an edema index of a human body from an AC voltage measured from the pair of voltage electrodes, wherein each of the pair of current electrodes and the pair of voltage electrodes is attached to one surface of the band in a row in a length direction of the band, and protrudes from the surface of the band to be in direct contact with the skin of the wrist when the band is worn on the wrist.
