human bioimpedance

Human bioimpedance refers to measuring how electrical signals travel through the body. Since different tissues—like fat, muscle, and fluids—conduct electricity differently, this technique can estimate body composition, such as the amount of body fat and water. A small, harmless electrical current is sent through the body, and sensors measure how much resistance (impedance) the body provides. These measurements help assess health, hydration status, and nutritional status. Bioimpedance is quick, non-invasive, and widely used in medical, fitness, and wellness settings to monitor body composition and overall health.
