The purpose of the study is to monitor human body hydration for medical monitoring. It has been shown that the hydration of the deep layers of the skin could reflect the hydration state of the body. Therefore a bioimpedance spectroscopy approach is developed in order to evaluate the skin hydration state by electrical measurements. A numerical model is used to aid the design process of the electrodes. Various design efficiencies are compared.
