Abstract

The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for measuring bio-impedance. The apparatus for measuring bio-impedance comprises the following components: a plurality of electrodes contacted with the body part of a member being measured, an input signal generation part which generates an input electric signal for measuring the bio-impedance and provides to a driving electrode in the plurality of electrodes, an impedance measuring part which measures the bio-impedance through the output electric signal output from a read-out electrode in the plurality of electrodes, and a display partfor displaying the measuring state and result. The input signal generation part comprises a modulating part which is used for modulating the signal. The impedance measuring part comprises a demodulating part which demodulates the output electric signal with a mode corresponding with the modulating part. The apparatus for measuring bio-impedance according to the invention can effectively remove the effect of the noise added in a living creature as the exerted driving signal is modulated and the output measuring signal is demodulated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for measuring biological impedance. Background technique [0002] In order to measure body fat and the like, measuring devices for bioimpedance are widely used. In the composition of the body, muscle has more water, but fat has no water. Therefore, the bioimpedance value is lower with more muscle and higher with more fat. By measuring bioimpedance, the body water content, muscle mass and fat mass of the subject can be obtained easily and with high reproducibility. [0003] The device measures bioimpedance through the following process: attach electrodes to body parts, such as two hands and two feet, select a pair of electrodes among the electrodes according to the measurement site, apply a current signal for measurement, and select the corresponding electrode according to the measurement site. A pair of electrodes, the voltage across which is measured. For example, by measuring the voltage drop from the left wrist ...
