Single-Frequency Analysis<\/h2>\r\n

The single-frequency mode measures impedance, phase angle, reactance, and resistance<\/strong> at 50 kHz<\/strong>.
Within the software, reference charts have been developed to express the nutritional significance of the impedance data.
These charts help professionals interpret the electrolytic and metabolic status of the patient.<\/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 complete clinical record<\/strong>, which, in addition to personal and family anamnesis, allows practitioners to prescribe relevant laboratory tests<\/strong> for evaluating the patient\u2019s nutritional status and record the results.
Out-of-range values are automatically flagged by the software according to official reference ranges.
Users can monitor test results over time and create custom diagnostic protocols<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Developed in collaboration with leading specialists, the software also provides 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 the patient\u2019s body composition, focusing particularly on hydration status<\/strong> and changes in lean mass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Vector analysis is based on resistance and reactance normalized for height<\/strong>.
The resulting vector is plotted on a chart containing three population-specific confidence ellipses.
It is possible to compare the patient\u2019s position across the last three visits, enabling ongoing monitoring of nutritional status.<\/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

Anthropometric Evaluation<\/h2>\r\n

Within the Dietosystem BIA software<\/strong>, users can record skinfold measurements<\/strong> and circumferences<\/strong> to assess body type (biotype) and cardiovascular risk, completing the nutritional evaluation.<\/p>\n

The software also allows input and tracking of handgrip strength<\/strong>, measured with a dynamometer.
Combined with validated screening questionnaires, this is particularly useful for assessing sarcopenia risk<\/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

Hydration Analysis<\/h2>\r\n

The software automatically selects the most appropriate regression equations, validated by scientific literature, to calculate Total Body Water (TBW)<\/strong> and its distribution into Intracellular Water (ICW)<\/strong> and Extracellular Water (ECW)<\/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

Body Composition Analysis<\/h2>\r\n

The two-compartment model evaluates Fat Mass (FAT)<\/strong> and Fat-Free Mass (FFM)<\/strong>, normalized for height, to provide a more accurate assessment.<\/p>\n

The Body Cell Mass (BCM)<\/strong> and Skeletal Muscle Mass (SM)<\/strong> parameters offer detailed insights into the patient\u2019s nutritional and metabolic status.
Visceral fat measurement completes the assessment by indicating cardiometabolic disease risk.<\/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

Report<\/h2>\r\n

The Dietosystem BIA report<\/strong> can be customized to meet both professional and patient needs.
It can be printed in a summary format or with additional attachments, such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Explanations of the clinical meaning of each parameter<\/li>\n
  • Nutritional status assessment charts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Before printing, users can view a report preview for final review.<\/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

    Connection with the Dietosystem App<\/h2>\r\n

    The Dietosystem App<\/strong> allows nutritionists to connect with their patients via a personal access code.
    Through the app, professionals can send reports directly to the patient\u2019s smartphone.
    Patients can communicate with their nutritionist via a message board and chat, sharing updates and feedback.<\/p>\n

    This digital tool allows the nutritionist to monitor patient progress efficiently and build long-term patient loyalty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n
