bioimpedance
Tissue electrical opposition
Bioimpedance is the resistance of biological tissue to electrical current.
Medical devices measure bioimpedance to estimate body composition—distinguishing fat from muscle and water—since different tissues conduct electricity differently.
The technology appears in body fat scales, hydration monitors, and cardiac output measurements: The fitness tracker uses bioimpedance analysis to calculate body fat percentage.
