Model-based Identification of Malnutrition via Bioimpedance Spectroscopy

Keywords: malnourishment, bioimpedance spectroscopy, fault diagnosis

Protein-energy-malnutrition reduces the quality of life, lengthens the time in hospital and increases the mortality dramatically. Currently there is no simple and objective method available for assessing the nutritional status and thus identifying malnutrition. A newly developed expert system detects patients with malnutrition via a bioimpedance measurement. The system is based on the technical fault diagnosis.
