FIELD:
medicine.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a method for multi-frequency
bioelectrical impedance analysis and a device for implementing it. Alternating
electric current signals are passed through the
human body. Each
signal has one of three different frequencies. At each frequency, the amplitude of the
voltage of the signals passing through the
human body is measured. An
initial phase angle is selected for each specific impedance module. The
phase angle characterizes the phase shift of the current of signals entering the
human body relative to the phase of the
voltage of signals passing through the human body. At each frequency, the
phase angle is estimated using an equivalent
electrical model of the human body, the
initial phase angle and the impedance modulus. A body model is created for a specific person. The ratio of
extracellular water content to total
body water content in a human is determined by inputting extracted parameters of the
human body model into a trained
machine learning model. The device comprises a source of alternating
electric current signals, electrodes for conducting and reading signals, a measuring device for measuring
signal parameters, a processor and memory.EFFECT: device is compact and has small-area electrodes for integration into wearable and / or portable devices while maintaining measurement accuracy.14 cl, 6 dwg
