Abstract
Characterization of blood impedance properties is important to estimate clinical diagnos-
tic indices such as haematocrit, glucose level and hydration. Current in vivo bioimpedance
spectroscopy methods are performed on a body appendage and thus represent a combined
measurement of all tissues in the measurement field, rather than the blood individually. This
