Artificial neural network for electrode diagnostic in EIS: biomedical application

Prof. Pasquale Arpaia & Ms. Francesca Mancino

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

This tutorial focuses on the role of the embedded artificial neural network in supporting the identification of the partially detached electrode in a 4-wire measurement setup for bioimpedance spectroscopy. The use case is approached by presenting methods and techniques easily transferable to other problems within the impedance spectroscopy framework.
Some of the topics covered in this tutorial are:

Introduction to impedance spectroscopy and its biomedical applications;
Introduction to the basic concepts of artificial neural networks;
Practical implementation of a neural network to the case study;
Hints of embedded AI-based solutions.

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