Title:
SKIN CONDUCTIVITY MEASURING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/007638
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A skin conductivity measuring device applies a bipolar pulse current, as generated from current generating units (11a to 11i), to a plurality of measurement points of the skin (30) of a specimen through non-polar electrodes (3a to 3i). The applied currents and the voltages generated by the applications are measured by a measuring unit (6), and featuring quantities featuring the feasibilities of the currents at the individual measurement points are extracted by a featuring quantity extracting unit (7), so that the results are displayed in a display unit (8). Indices, as extracted at the featuring quantity extracting unit (7), are calculated on the basis of electric equivalent circuit parameters (Rp, Cp and Rs) of the skin (30). The skin conductivity measuring device can provide qualitative and reliable/reproducible measurement results.
