SENSOR FOR MEASURING IMPEDANCE OF HUMAN BODY SECTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/53 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: sensor 1 for measuring impedance of a human body section includes the first and the second electrodes and electrode holder 2. Electrodes consist of sections. Sections 5 and 6 of the first and the second electrodes are located alternately in one row on the inner surface of the holder. The holder is intended to be fixed around human wrists so that sections of both electrodes can touch the wrist. Each electrode has at least three sections. Contact area of each section is at least 1 cm². The electrode holder is made in the form of a flexible strip or a bracelet having sections that are hinged between themselves, which is fixed on the wrist by means of clasp 7, or in the form of a cuff covering the wrist. A signal converter of the sensor is also arranged in the electrode holder.

EFFECT: use of the invention will allow improving stability of a measurement signal and sensitivity of a sensor owing to improving contact reliability of sensors with human skin and optimising a current passage way between sections of sensors.
