Multifrequency Analysis<\/h2>\r\n

The multifrequency system measures impedance, phase angle, reactance, and resistance<\/strong> at five frequencies: 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 50 kHz, 100 kHz, and 250 kHz.<\/p>\n

Multifrequency analysis provides a more accurate evaluation of hydration by distinguishing extracellular<\/strong> and intracellular<\/strong> compartments.
At low frequencies, the alternating current flows mainly through the extracellular space, while at higher frequencies it also penetrates the intracellular compartment.<\/p>\n

The ratio between high and low frequencies reflects fluid distribution and serves as an easy and intuitive nutritional indicator.<\/p>\n

For each impedance parameter acquired, the software displays reference charts illustrating their nutritional significance\u2014useful for interpreting the subject\u2019s electrolyte and metabolic status<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Segmental Analysis<\/h2>\r\n

Human im touch Segmental<\/strong> allows the assessment of body composition distribution across different segments (arms, legs, trunk) using a 6-terminal probe.<\/p>\n

For each body segment, the software evaluates muscularity, adiposity, hydration, and mineral content.
Segmental analysis is particularly valuable in sports nutrition or when designing targeted therapeutic interventions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The software includes a comprehensive clinical record<\/strong> that, in addition to personal and family anamnesis, allows professionals to prescribe laboratory tests important for evaluating the patient\u2019s nutritional status and record the results.
Out-of-range values are automatically flagged based on official reference ranges.
The software allows long-term monitoring and creation of customized diagnostic protocols<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Developed in collaboration with leading specialists, the system includes screening questionnaires<\/strong> for gastrointestinal disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, malnutrition, and cardiovascular risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vector Analysis<\/h2>\r\n

The vectorial chart<\/strong> provides an immediate qualitative analysis of body composition, with particular focus on hydration status and lean mass variation.<\/p>\n

Vector analysis is based on direct measurement of resistance and reactance normalized for height<\/strong>, with the resulting vector displayed within three population-specific confidence ellipses.
The graph also enables comparison of the patient\u2019s last three visits, allowing professionals to monitor nutritional trends over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
