Feasibility Study on a Microwave-Based Sensor for Measuring Hydration Level Using Human Skin Models.

Tissue dehydration results in three major types of exsiccosis--hyper-, hypo-, or isonatraemia. All three types entail alterations of salt concentrations leading to impaired biochemical processes, and can finally cause severe morbidity. The aim of our study was to demonstrate the feasibility of a mic...
