Lymphedema Characterization Using Segmental Bio-Impedance Signals and Early Detection with Machine Learning

The term lymphedema is associated with breast cancer. After oncological treatment on this issue, in most of the cases, the lymph fluid in our lymphatic system gets blocked and creates swelling in the arms of patients even after undergoing a painful surgery. If proper quantification of lymphatic fluid and early diagnosis is done, the percent of lymphedema in patients can be decreased tremendously. Early detection of lymphedema can help physicians to provide patients interventions (surgical or otherwise) that can avoid debilitating swelling. Aim is to develop a proof of concept – segmental bioimpedance based measurement and early warning system to address this challenge.
