ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD TO MEASURE BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17903584 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD TO MEASURE BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with electrodes, a sensor, memory, and a processor. The device can measure contact impedances between the electrodes and a user.
- The device can measure contact impedances between electrodes and a user
- If all contact impedances are below a certain value, the device can perform body impedance measurement
- If at least one contact impedance is equal to or greater than the specified value, the device will not perform body impedance measurement
Potential applications of this technology:
- Health and fitness devices that measure body impedance for monitoring purposes
- Medical devices that require accurate body impedance measurements for diagnosis or treatment
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures accurate body impedance measurement by checking contact impedances
- Prevents inaccurate measurements if there are issues with electrode contact
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides reliable body impedance measurements
- Saves time by not performing measurements when contact impedances are not suitable
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a plurality of electrodes, a sensor operably connected to the plurality of electrodes, a memory, and a processor operably connected to the sensor and the memory, wherein the processor may be configured to obtain plural contact impedances through the sensor based on contact between the plurality of electrodes and a user, perform body impedance measurement in case that all the obtained contact impedances are less than a first impedance value, and determine not to perform body impedance measurement in case that at least one of the obtained contact impedances is greater than or equal to the first impedance value.
