Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) at the Intersection of Whole-Body Care
Tuesday, September 22, 7pm ET
Featured Faculty: Maureen McBeth, PT, CLT-LANA
Overview
Lymphedema care is increasingly tied to a broader view of patient health. In this free webinar, clinicians will explore how bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) can be used beyond a single measurement to support more comprehensive assessment, prospective surveillance, and clinical decision-making.
See how BodyComp™ and L-Dex® assessments work together to add insight into patient status and lymphedema management, how they can help facilities meet National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) standards, and how the FDA-cleared SOZO® Digital Health Platform supports body composition assessment—including identifying sarcopenia risk and enabling earlier clinical decision-making in cancer care.
Learning Objectives
In this NLN-sponsored webinar, participants will learn to:
- Describe how bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) can be applied beyond a single measurement to support comprehensive patient assessment and care.
- Explain how BodyComp™ and L-Dex® assessments work together to inform patient status, prospective surveillance, and lymphedema management.
- Identify how BIS-based assessment can support facilities working to meet NAPBC standards.
- Recognize the role of the FDA-cleared SOZO® Digital Health Platform in body composition assessment, including identifying sarcopenia risk and supporting earlier clinical decision-making in cancer care.
