The tremendous growth of bioimpedance publications the last 30 years has been analyzed by Spanish scientists [1] using the Scopus database (Fig. 1). The same database indexes also the papers of our
Number of publications on bioimpedance during the last 30 years in comparison with the growth of dielectric impedance papers (extracted from the Scopus based analysis given in [1], published under CC BY 4.0).
A graph showing the most active institutions in publishing in the bioimpedance field (extracted from the Scopus based analysis [1], published under CC BY 4.0).
The development of instrumentation has led us to wearable and implantable devices enabling continuous monitoring of bioimpedance variations in a wide frequency range. Impedance spectroscopy, tomography and spectro-tomography devices give us a huge amount of data within short time intervals. Although a large amount of data is gathered, less information is available on this and still the lack of knowledge remains obvious. Therefore, implementation of data handling and artificial intelligence methods is urgent.
