Abstract

Electrical Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) is an interesting method for assessing the state or composition of human organs and various types of biological tissues in-vivo in both clinical and research applications as well as in-vitro. The non-invasiveness of this method, its manifold applicability and adaptability make it suitable for usability as a part of health monitoring systems as portable, wearable or implantable systems. The foremost applications in personal health and biological tissues monitoring are fluid and body mass changes, tissue and cell characterization and dynamically variable biological systems assessment such as cardiac and lung function monitoring. In this contribution, we provide an overview of BIS and its applications for fluid monitoring and body cell mass changes in the second section, tissue characterization and cell growth monitoring in the third section and dynamically variable biological systems monitoring in the last section.
