Bioimpedance‐BIA• Early detection of malnutrition the 
measured Phase angle, the body cell 
mass (BCM) and the ratio between body 
cell mass and extracellular mass (ECM) 
as well as the nutrition index (R/Xc ) , 
extra and intracellular water (ECW,ICW) , 
total body water (TBW) Lean body mass 
(FFM) , Resting energy expenditure 
(REE)are the most meaningful body 
composition parameters

Body composition‐Hydration‐Nutritional status
Resistance (R), Reactance (Xc), Phase angle (φ)
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
Resistance
Is the real part of impedance; a device with a purely resistive impedance exhibits no phase shift
between the voltage and current.
Reactance
Is the imaginary part of the impedance; a component with a finite reactance induces a phase shift
between the voltage across it and the current through it.
A purely reactive component is distinguished by the sinusoidal voltage across the component being in
quadrature with the sinusoidal current through the component. This implies that the component
alternately absorbs energy from the circuit and then returns energy to the circuit. A pure reactance will
not dissipate any power.
Capacitive reactance o Capacitance
Has a purely reactive impedance which is inversely proportional to the signal frequency.
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by an insulator, also known as a
dielectric.
Bioimpedance‐ BIA
• LEAN BODY MASS (FFM)
1. Cell mass (BCM), is the most active metabolic compartment of the body and one of 
the most important keys to determine a subjects nutritional status measured in the 
NUTRITIONAL INDEX (R/ Xc).
2. Extracellular mass (ECM), another component of lean mass, contains all the 
metabolically inactive parts of the body including extracellular water (ECW).
• TOTAL BODY WATER (TBW) composed by intra and extracellular water.
1. These two fluid compartments are tightly regulated. It has been shown that cellular 
hydration (ICW) is an important regulator for protein catabolism. 
2. An increase in extracellular water (ECW) may indicate disturbance in the cellular 
membrane and is a typical sign of malnutrition, even if weight stays the same and 
body fat is within a normal range.
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
EDA = Electrodermal activity
• Property of the human body that causes continuous 
variation in the electrical characteristics of the skin . 
• Known as skin conductance, galvanic skin response
(GSR), electrodermal response (EDR), psychogalvanic
reflex (PGR), skin conductance response (SCR), and skin 
conductance level (SCL). 
• Skin resistance varies with the state of sweat glands in 
the skin. Sweating is controlled by the sympathetic 
nervous system, and skin conductance is an indication of 
psychological or physiological arousal. 
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
If the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is highly aroused, then sweat gland activity also 
increases, which in turn increases skin conductance.
Tonic changes: 1‐30 microsiemens
Phasic changes: .05 ‐ 5 microsiemens
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
Systems that influence the EDA
• Locomotor system:
* controlling brain structures = frontal lobe motor processing areas and motor areas in the brain 
stem (medulla & pons)
* function = an anticipatory increase in EDA that allows for a response to potentially dangerous 
stimuli that requires a motor response
• Orienting‐arousal system:
* controlling brain structures = prefrontal areas of the frontal lobe, hippocampus, amygdala, RAS 
* function = part of the orienting response produced by the limbic system that is seen in response 
to dangerous or novel stimuli
• Thermoregulatory system:
* controlling brain structures = hypothalamus
* function = not so related to cognitive functions, a response by this system is generated either in 
order to maintain normal homeostasis or in response to physical trauma
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
GSR= Galvanic skin response
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
GSR, standing for galvanic skin response, 
is a method of measuring the electrical 
conductance of the skin. Strong emotion 
can cause stimulus to your sympathetic 
nervous system, resulting more sweat 
being secreted by the sweat glands. 
Grove – GSR allows you to spot such 
strong emotions by simple attaching two 
electrodes to two fingers on one hand

NIR glucometer by Arduino
InGaAs photodiode, 8 LEDs(2 x Green, 2 x NIR @ 1550nm, 1 IR @ 960nm, 1 Red) 
an Atmega328p, and the circuits required to run those. Also it contains a small 
LiPo in order to be able to test, or take training data. Two separate circuit boards 
and the ADC is channeled through an  MCP3421 and then i2c goes across a 
connector at the bottom which also supplies the regulated 3.3V

Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
NIR glucometer – Open source
• green LED, a red LED, IR LED, and a 1550nm NIR LED. The 
green is used to determine how much skin is in the way, the 
Red and IR are used to determine the volume of blood being 
measured, and with the volume of blood you can use the 
1550nm NIR LED to determine the amount of glucose.

Photoacustic spectroscopy
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
using three kinds of technologies: ultrasound, 
electromagnetic, and thermal. You just clip 
the GlucoTracksensor onto your earlobe 
and within a minute, it sends your BG data 
through a headphone‐style cord to a 
smartphone‐sized handheld controller. And 
that's where the glucose reading is displayed 
or even verbally announced.
GlucoWise
• unique sensor and a nano‐film
• passing low‐power radio waves through the body
• Electromagnetic waves at specific frequencies can be used to detect blood glucose
• The metamaterial technology was initially developed to enable a novel diagnostic 
imaging technique, using safe radio waves instead of ionizing x‐rays.
• Metamaterials make it possible to bend light around an object making it seem 
that it’s not there, so these seemingly preposterous sci‐fi scenarios are in fact 
within the realms of probability
Prof.Dr.O.Ferrer‐Roca, 2015
C8 Medisensors
• Raman spectra, a unique Raman “fingerprint”
• belt around the waist. Rather than puncturing the skin, the sensor sits close 
against the skin, and small drop of gel helps to seal any air gaps. The technology 
behind the HG1‐c is complicated, but in a nutshell: a special camera, called a 
raman spectrometer
