Non-invasive determination of the human hydration level

The aim of the research project is the development of an embedded system for the determination of the human hydration level with non-invasive sensors. The combination of non-invasive sensors and embedded systems enables the determination of the hydration level in many new situations. For example, the hydration level of athletes could be monitored to maintain their optimal performance or the system could be connected to clinical warning systems in hospitals to monitor the hydration level of patients.

The research project is divided into six sub-projects:
1. Selection of appropriate non-invasive sensors
2. Collection of reference information using invasive methods
3. Collection of empirical samples using non-invasive methods
4. Usage of pattern recognition methods to determine the hydration level in non-invasive sensor data
5. Implementation on an embedded system
6. Evaluation in a clinical study
