Instrumentation for insulin bioavailability assessment in diabetology: The use case of AD5940BIOZ

Prof. Pasquale Arpaia & Ms. Francesca Mancino

Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica, Università di Napoli Federico II, Naples, Italy

This tutorial shows how to approach impedance spectroscopy by properly choosing the measuring instrument and setting the parameters of its components to optimize the measurement. Some of the topics covered are:

Brief introduction to impedance spectroscopy in health applications
Review of instrumentation for impedance spectroscopy
Measuring impedance – overview of available instrument classes and their individual strengths
In-depth analysis of the most important instrument specifications for measurement optimization
Overview of measurement configurations

All topics are supported by practical examples for better understanding of the proposed content.

Short biography:

Pasquale Arpaia is Full Professor of Instrumentation and Measurements at Department of Electrical Engineering and Information technology of University Federico II, Naples. He is Team Leader at CERN and Head of IMPALab (Laboratory of Instrumentation and Measurements for Particle Accelerators) and ARHeMLab (Laboratory of Augmented Reality for Health Monitoring) DIETI Excellence Department and Vice-Head of CIRMIS (Interdipartimental Center for Research on Management and Innovation in Health). He is Associate Editor of the Journals: Elsevier Computer Standards & Interfaces, IoP Journal of Instrumentation, MDPI Instruments (Co-Editor in Chief). He is scientific responsible of more than 30 awarded research projects, with related patents and international licences. He founded 4(+1) academic spin off companies. His main research interests are digital instrumentation and measurement techniques for Brain Computer Interfaces, Augmented Reality, magnets, superconductors, power converters and cryogenics of particle accelerators, evolutionary diagnostics, and ADC modelling and testing. In these fields, he published several book chapters, and about 250 scientific papers. His PhD students were awarded in 2006, 2010 and 2022 at IEEE I2MTC and in 2012 at IMEKO World Conferences.
