Abstract :
This paper suggests that for further development of bioimpedance technology, there are at least 2 points to pay attention to. One is to take account of the capacitive reactance of body, set up an appropriate body impedance model at cell level, and adopt a complex impedance measurement method. The other is to extract functional information of human tissue or organs at cell level. On the bases of these, one can extract complete bioimpedance information relative to physiology and pathology situations of human body, and can estimate functional states of body tissue or organs. This is the direction to develop bioimpedance technology in the future
