1. A method comprising:

  • applying a mechanical perturbation to a tissue region using a displacement device;

    calculating a compression impedance (CI) of the tissue region in response to applying the mechanical perturbation;

    retracting the displacement device;

    calculating a retraction impedance (RI) of the tissue region in response to retracting the displacement device; and

    determining a hydration level of the tissue region based on at least one of the CI and the RI.
