The measuring and processing unit (20) of the invention comprises an electrical bioimpedance measuring sub-unit (9) and a processing sub-unit (10) for the discrete processing of measurements including a memory element for storing the measurements.The modular electrical bioimpedance measuring, processing and monitoring system comprises at least one of the aforementioned bioimpedance measuring and processing units (20). The modular system allows transmitting measurements to an external unit (30), such as a computer or PDA, for processing and/or monitoring.The bioimpedance data can be transmitted over the Internet or a GSM network from the external unit (30) to a remote unit for remote monitoring.
