The measurement of bioimpedance is affected by the surface impedance of the skin. A guard electrode can help solve the issue, but the resulting electrical circuit is no longer stable. Stabilising the circuit is a real challenge because the skin is difficult to model especially because of its MIMO nature with very large variations of parameters. The problem will be presented with the different steps that led to its interesting solution.


Bio: 
Dr. Olivier Chételat received the PhD degree in robotics from the Swiss Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland in 1997. He spent one year as post-doctoral fellow in the USA (1998) and two years as assistant professor in Korea (2000/2001). He joined CSEM in 2001 where he has been involved as technical expert in several research programs focused on human vital-signs sensors. Since 2009, he is head of the Control & Sensing section.
