Technologies for energy expenditure estimation

Human health and performance are commonly measured using non-invasive sensing of physiological activity inside the body in the healthcare, wellness, and sports sectors. While imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound can measure human tissue geometry and properties, they are bulky and expensive, making them inaccessible to the public.

Bioimpedance shows potential as a non-invasive, portable, low-cost technology to measure geometry (tomography) and properties (spectroscopy) of human tissue and therefore contribute to monitoring physiological function in a range of applications.
