Pocket equipment for perform bioimpedentiometries at home

Apparatus, comprising:

• a pocket-sized casing (1) for carrying out bioimpedance measurements;
• a printed circuit board (2), contained within said casing (1);
• a microprocessor integrated control unit (3), suitable for receiving and executing a management program of said apparatus (100), the apparatus further comprising
• communication means for data exchange (10) with a personal terminal device (20);
• a bioimpedance integrated circuit meter device (4), interfaced to said integrated control unit (3), capable of autonomously performing impedance measurement test functions on a person and making available the raw results thereof;
• a plurality of electrodes (11), arranged outside said casing (1) and connected to a respective signal cable (12) for carrying electrical signals from/to said bioimpedance meter device (4);
• a rechargeable storage battery (5), provided with a recharging circuit (6) for supplying power to said printed circuit board (2);
• a multi-pin connector (7), secured to said printed circuit board (2) and electrically connected to said control unit (3) and to said bioimpedance meter device (4), by means of said signal cable (12), for establishing connections between said electrodes and said bioimpedance meter device (4), and by means of a dedicated recharging cable for establishing connections for said recharging circuit (6);
• status indicator means (8), driven by said control unit (3) and visible from the outside of said casing (1), for indicating the current status of said apparatus (100);
• and wherein said personal terminal device (20) includes control means, data processing means and result displaying means, comprising at least one dedicated application for connecting with said control unit (2) via said data exchange (10), for acquiring data produced by said bioimpedance meter device (4), and for displaying results on a display (21) of said personal terminal device (20).
