Bio-Impedance Technology, Inc. produces software and instrumentation for Bio-electric Impedance Cardiography. Bioelectric impedance cardiography is a non-invasive and unobtrusive technique for obtaining estimates of cardiac performance, including cardiac output, systolic time intervals, and cardiac contractility. It is used primarily with humans because it is a no-risk procedure, but it may also be applied to large animals. Numerous research and clinical studies have been reported in the scientific journals, with many of them demonstrating the accuracy of the technique relative to invasive measurement procedures. In general, these studies indicate that the technique is a more valid index of relative changes than of absolute values for cardiac output and stroke volume. If simultaneous blood pressure measurements are taken with impedance cardiography measurements, then systemic vascular resistance measures can be derived.

BIT, Inc. is a sister corporation to MicroTronics Corporation of Chapel Hill. BIT and MicroTronics are located at 88 VilCom Circle, an office building located in Northern Chapel Hill off Weaver Dairy Road, near I-40. The front entrance to VilCom is pictured on the right:
