Abstract
A new in-vivo wearable band sensor is introduced for continuous monitoring of the permittivity of biological tissues deep into the body. This sensor allows for identification of tissue abnormalities by measuring the tissue´s permittivity. For medical applications, the sensor can be used to monitor the permittivity of lungs and presence of lung water as a precursor to congestive heart failure. The physical layout of the sensor allows for monitoring the same tissue from different angles.
