Wearable Device for Continuous Body Weight Measurement

The objective of this research is to present a novel ultra-low power wearable system for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) monitoring using the continuous measurement of a patient’s weight to detect changes in body mass and fluid composition. This highly modular system will be used to implement, analyze, and compare various pattern detection algorithms for the early detection of congestive heart failures.
