A novel wearable bioimpedance sensor for continuous monitoring of fluid balance: a study on isotonic hypovolemia in healthy adults

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Experimental study

Authors' conclusion

This study demonstrates that the wearable bioimpedance device tested is very sensitive to furosemide-induced changes in fluid volume in healthy volunteers in a controlled environment.
