Development of wearable medical system for dehydration detection

This paper will be focused on the development of anew non-invasive and non-obtrusive medical wireless wearable system which is primarily used for dehydration detection but can be easily adapted to the measurement of other values. This system is used for real time telemonitoring of elderly people, diabetics and sportsmen during their normal life in this version. There are many devices used in the system shown in the fig. 1. The basis is formed by groups of sensors which contain on body sensors (temperature, humidity and trans-epidermal water-loss detector [1]), ambient sensors (urea potassium ions sensor and personal scales) and external devices (food scales).
