User Interface & Data Transfer

Problem Statement
Many clinical disorders correlate with hydration status. However, health
care providers have few reliable non-invasive methods for real-time
quantification of hydration status in the clinic.

Main Menu

Normal Hydration

Clinical Study Design

Hyperhydrated

Background
• Dehydration alone causes 518,000 annual hospitalizations and $5.5
billion in charges 1
• Hyperhydration is the most common electrolyte imbalance in
hospitals, occurring in about 2% of all patients 2
• Current gold standard: Acute hydration measurements are obtained
by invasive swan-ganz catheter placement, which is invasive &
impractical and requires trained clinicians to use.

Needs Assessment
The solution must:
• Correlate diagnostic information to changes in hydration status
• Assess hydration status in clinical setting without prior background
monitoring
• Allow the provider to easily translate/display data
• Provide the patient with a noninvasive, unobtrusive and
comfortable product

• Capacitive elements are
frequency dependent
• Obtain impedance data at
various frequencies
• Correlate impedance values with
hydration status
• Compare to market competitor
• Establish improved device and
model for clinical prediction of
hydration status

Figure 7. A greater difference is seen between
the BIVA and BodyStat devices at more
hydrated states, but the difference between the
two devices is still relatively small

Problem: It is challenging to reliably induce a quantifiable amount of
water loss or overload outside of the clinical setting
Solution: Clinical study in an experimental population that undergoes
rapid, quantified fluid loss
