Abstract :
Dehydration of human organism is an issue in case of fitness activity and elderly people. We have designed the solution for noninvasive and continuous monitoring which is the way for determination of body dehydration. This system is based on measurements of relative humidity near skin to calculate water release through the skin, actual body weight, and measurements of potassium ions concentration in urea, which is a basic component of urine.
