EIS System - How it works?

The concept and science of an organ’s bio-impedance, pH or blood pressure was first discovered in the mid 19th Century. However this electro-physiological research had no practical application, because of the vast amount of calculations that could only performed by hand. With the vast power of modern computers and sophisticated programming, the EIS can now effectively utilize this science and accurately analyze the body’s organs and tissues with an elegantly simple user interface.

The EIS employs electrical bio-impedance technology very similar to the common EEG and ECG, but instead of supplying information for the brain or the heart only, the EIS measures the electro-physiological properties of 22 different volumes within the body.

A volume is electrically measured as hand-to-foot, foot-to-hand, head-to-foot and so on. These 22 separate calculations are then compiled in an Electro-Somatogram (ESG), as depicted in the graph and examples below.

The bio-impedance of each volume is calculated by the application of Ohm's Law and recorded as the ESG. Of course, each branch is composed of many organs and tissues, but the EIS patented cross-analysis algorithms allow it to accurately calculate the bio-impedance of 69 separate parameters (organs, hydration, bio-chemical values, hormones etc.) in the body and measure the micro-circulation, mitochondrial activity and pH of each of the 22 volumes.

To measure these volumes, an imperceptible DC current of only 1.8 volts is transmitted through the interstitial fluid (water surrounding the cells) by way of six electrodes; two for the forehead and one for each hand and foot. By sequentially applying the positive polarity on each one of these electrodes while every other one is sequentially receiving the negative polarity, the EIS initiates a flow of Hydrogen and Bicarbonate ions (DC current) in the different tissues traversed, which facilitates measurement of all 22 volumes.
