The NOVA Penguin is an independent system designed to measure skin hydration non-invasively via electrical impedance readings. The Penguin's features provide a superior level of convenience and portability. Powered by two rechargeable "AA" batteries, the Penguin communicates with a PC using an IrDA technology, making wires and cables unnecessary. The Penguin is provided with its own recharger and, as such, is both green and sustainable. Data is uploaded to a PC and stored in the form of a pre-labeled Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
