The most time that a Bioimpedance Analysis requires is spent on preparing for the test. You’ll need to wear loose, comfortable clothes so that your provider can place two adhesive skin electrodes on your hand and foot on one side. We connect these measuring instruments by cables. Once everything is ready, the test itself only takes a few seconds. Results are analyzed by a computer program, and that delivers your Bioimpedance Analysis report. Preparing the test and performing the evaluation generally takes around 5 minutes.
