Summary:

NTE has developed a system (BFM 7Scan) that provides information on fluid distribution and composition both for body and body segments (legs, arms, thorax, abdomen and head). The system consists of a electronics box controlled with a PC with a dedicated software. The system has an applied part with 11 electrodes that are located on subject's skin. Using the electrical impedance spectroscopy technology, the system provides the following information:NTE has followed with the collaboration of the Olympic Training Center (CAR) in Barcelona (Spain) a refinement of that calibration and characterisation of the system. These activities were as follows:Additional work is being performed presently on:The results of these activities help to demonstrate together with previous work performed that the system BFM 7 Scan can be used to study the body fluid shifts that the astronaut suffer during stay in weightlessness
