ABSTRACT

Venous Thrombosis (VT) poses a significant medical challenge due to the risk of clot formation within veins, necessitating prompt detection for effective treatment and complication prevention. This study investigates an efficient approach combining Impedance Plethysmography (IPG) and Body Composition Analysis (BCA) to identify venous thrombosis. In this study, we chose four subjects on whom the experiments are being performed to detect the vein condition. We select the subjects through interviews with their written consent prior to conducting the experiment. Our critical observations on the measured parameters such as bio-electrical impedance, body mass index (BMI), fat percentage, water percentage, and other parameters provide valuable insights into the underlying causes of thrombosis formation in subjects. Experimental results also indicate that subject 3 exhibits notable variations in the impedance curve. On the other hand, the Cole-Cole plot indicates the presence of a thrombus in the popliteal or more proximal vein. An ECG analysis cross-examines the findings.
