Non-invasive Monitoring of Drugs Bioavailability by Tissue Impedance Measurement
Topical administration and transdermal delivery are advantageous in comparison with systemic administration routes because complications such as first-pass metabolism, toxicity, and side effects are attenuated for the patient. Their effectiveness is evaluated by numerous studies in the laboratory. However, performance outside of a laboratory, in the context of daily clinical application, is less investigated.
After an introduction on EIS for prosthesis osseointegration diagnostics in audiology and Artificial Intelligence for model definition in EIS, this tutorial presents a measurement method (in aesthetic medicine) to evaluate the amount of a substance delivered into a tissue. A second measurement method for indirectly assessing insulin bioavailability is discussed. The leakage of a given amount of insulin produces a corresponding variation in the measured equivalent impedance in the administration volume.
