Systems and methods for bioimpedance body composition measurement

A method of measuring body composition comprising water composition in at least one body segment of a patient, comprising:

• transmitting on a conductor, a signal indicative of a unique address of a selected first pair of contact circuitry of a plurality of contact circuitry, the first pair defining a first body segment;
• wherein each contact circuitry includes a plurality of electrodes for contacting a body of the patient, each contact circuitry associated with a respective unique address, wherein the plurality of contact circuitry are spaced apart and independently positionable at different locations on the body of the patient,
• wherein electrodes of at least two contact circuitry are sequentially spaced apart along the respective conductor and electrically connected in series to the respective conductor,
• wherein the conductor includes the selected first pair of contact circuitry and at least one non-selected second pair of contact circuitry connected in series along the conductor;
• obtaining at least one impedance measurement indicative of impedance of the first body segment;
• and
• providing the at least one impedance, real and imaginary measurement of spectrum range for estimation of body composition comprising water composition of the first body segment.

A non-transitory medium storing program instructions for measuring body composition comprising water composition in at least one body segment of a patient, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

• transmit on a conductor, a signal indicative of a unique address of a selected first pair of contact circuitry of a plurality of contact circuitry, the first pair defining a first body segment;
• wherein each contact circuitry includes a plurality of electrodes for contacting a body of the patient, each contact circuitry associated with a respective unique address, wherein the plurality of contact circuitry are spaced apart and independently positionable at different locations on the body of the patient,
• wherein electrodes of at least two contact circuitry are sequentially spaced apart along the respective conductor and electrically connected in series to the respective conductor,
• wherein the conductor includes the selected first pair of contact circuitry and at least one non-selected second pair of contact circuitry connected in series along the conductor;
• obtain at least one impedance measurement indicative of impedance of the first body segment;
• and
• provide the at least one impedance measurement for estimation of body composition comprising water composition of the first body segment.
