  • METHODS AND MEDICAL DEVICES FOR ANALYZING EPITHELIAL BARRIER FUNCTION
    Publication number: 20220071554
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical device and a method for assessing and monitoring epithelial barrier function in vivo of a subject using electrical impedance measurements. The method comprises initiating an impedance measurement session including passing an electrical current through the skin of the subject to obtain values of skin impedance of a target tissue region, said data comprising at least one impedance value measured in the target tissue region at different tissue layers. Further, an evaluation procedure is applied for analyzing the epithelial barrier function in the target tissue region based on the measured data set of impedance values for the target tissue region at different tissue layers. The procedure evaluates the obtained data set of impedance values to provide an outcome indicating a status of the epithelial barrier function of the subject.
