Zusammenfassung:In some embodiments, a bioimpedance measurement apparatus includes a set of electrodes configured to be placed on respective skin portions of a subject; a temperature sensor probe configured to be placed on a respective skin portion of the subject; a moisture sensor probe configured to be placed on a respective skin portion of the subject; and an electronic module configured to determine an impedance between at least two of the plurality of electrodes, receive from the temperature probe a temperature signal and determine from the temperature signal a temperature of the skin portion the temperature sensor probe is placed on, receive from the moisture sensor probe a moisture signal and determine a moisture level of the skin portion the moisture sensor probe is placed on, and determine a bioimpedance of the subject based at least in part on the determined impedance, temperature, and moisture level.
