HEALTHTECH INTERNATIONAL FEATURE: INTRODUCING THE HEARTREADER™

INTRODUCTION

In October 12/13, 2024, HealthTech Reporter met with Dr. Sándor Kulin (developer of the HEARTREADER from Budapest, Hungary) at the Holistic Health Educational Expo in North Bergen, NJ. (see expo group). Dr. Kulin was part of an impressive lineup of unique health and medical speakers who presented (both in the venue and online) an array of important health topics and compelling lessons in health and longevity.  This educational event drew in crowds from every form of health disciplines including the conventional to functional, integrative to holistic and beyond.  

In this issue of HealthTech Reporter, we feature the concept behind of Dr. Kulin's innovation as a medical-grade scanning solution designed to generate reports and scores to support treatment response and estimating cardiovascular age. His HeartReader promotes the ability to generate reports and SCORES for physiological health such as Cardiovascular Health, Blood Pressure, Heart Fitness, Cardiac Stability and Autonomic Integrity.  The ultimate pursuit of the device was to mitigate the need to accurately identify these readings in support of monitoring heart health --for the detection of cardiovascular disorders, the leading cause of death globally.

According to his interview in 11/22 Dr. Kulin, an integrative and holistic OB/GYN (obstetrician-gynecologist) originally founded this technology as a telemetry system for monitoring health levels for women under pregnancy as part of regular monitoring of their cardiac health called PregnaScan. Pregnancy involves profound physiological changes, including a remarkable 35% average increase in left ventricular mass. In a 2021 feature on HealthCare Outlook magazine, Dr. Kulin stated that after the launch of this first model- “...our aim is to serve even the non-medical entities with very reliable physiology data and help them improve their clients’ health. For example, trained fitness coaches and dietitians can analyze the  (recorded) parameters ...both the end-users and healthcare providers can easily deduce whether or not the prescribed advice is working for them".

MEDTECH EFFICACY CHALLENGE

Currently, the HTR publishing team and medical group is undergoing a series of performance testing sessions of the HeartReader™ in support of non-invasive health and medical solutions.  Dr. Robert Bard (of IHRC) & BardDiagnostics.com) spearheaded this TechReport project inspired by his commitment to explore innovations from the international health society.

Additionally, in November of 2024, a collaborative  multi-modality program has been drafted to engage various heart rate variability and cardiovascular scanners to explore their strategies and data points, validating and confirming their effects as health screening technologies as part of HTR's SCAN & TREAT series.  "I am proud of the engineers, developers and medical conceptualists for their individual pursuits to advance the bar of personalized health and data gathering. SCREENING solutions in support of DIAGNOSTIC SCIENCE, especially in the realm of heart health is critically important in our medical community, offering an intelligent base line for a full array of testing. Meanwhile, as the pursuit for gold standards for 'Better Aging', prevention, early detection strategies wage on, these innovations (and the development leaders who promote them) hold a  powerful place in our international scientific, academic and medical communities as future luminaries", says Dr. Bard.

Bridging Science and Clinical Application: HeartReader’s Role By: Dr. Sándor Kulin

Source: HeartReader marketing

Peripheral pulse wave analysis is a well-established scientific method for evaluating an individual's hemodynamic status. However, transforming this methodology into a clinically applicable tool requires innovation and dedication. This is precisely the mission at HeartReader™: to develop and implement a robust system that bridges the gap between foundational research and practical healthcare applications.

HeartReader’s Core System and Scoring

HeartReader™ is built on more than 30 parameters derived from scientific literature, alongside a composite Total Score that provides an overall evaluation of cardiovascular health and risk levels. As noted by Professor Sengupta of Rutgers University, cardiovascular disorders remain the leading cause of death globally, emphasizing the urgent need for reliable tools to assess individual risk. Esteemed cardiologists and specialists acknowledge that HeartReader™ may be the first system to meet this critical need effectively.

In addition to the Total Score, HeartReader™ offers a series of specialized subscores, each targeting specific aspects of cardiovascular and overall health:

●    Cardiovascular Health Score
Assesses the aging speed of the arterial system and the heart, offering insights into vascular health over time.

●    Blood Pressure Score
Similar to HbA1c for blood sugar, this score identifies potential blood pressure issues over recent months rather than providing real-time measurements. A high score suggests lower cardiovascular risk, while a low score indicates potential concerns.

●    Heart Fitness Score
Evaluates physical capacity and cardiovascular exercise tolerance, reflecting an individual’s ability to endure physical activity.

●    Metabolic Fitness Score
Offers insights into cellular health, focusing on mitochondrial function. Through collaborations with experts in deutenomics (the study of deuterium content in mitochondria), we have increasing understanding how this score might be a potential indicator of mitochondrial health and energy production efficiency.

●    Cardiac Stability Score
Measures the likelihood of irregular heart rhythms or arrhythmias. A high score suggests stability, while a low score indicates potential risks.

●    Autonomic Integrity Score
Evaluates the overall activity and the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activity at the time of measurement, providing a snapshot of autonomic function.

Validated Insights from Real-World Data
While ongoing and planned clinical trials across Europe will further validate HeartReader, its current foundation is strong. Analysis of over 150,000 pulse wave recordings from more than 8,000 users confirms the system’s ability to translate traditional pulse wave parameters into clinically actionable insights.

Quick, Non-Invasive Measurements
All these insights are derived from a simple, non-invasive, two-minute measurement. HeartReader delivers a comprehensive evaluation that goes far beyond what is typically expected from such a straightforward process, empowering both clinicians and individuals to better understand and manage cardiovascular health.

HeartReader is at the forefront of innovation, providing healthcare professionals with reliable, personalized tools to assess and address cardiovascular and overall health effectively. The system collects data from a sensitive  HeartReader sensor connecting to a smartphone which is then sent to the cloud for real-time processing and storage.  (using the internet)

To make the data easy to interpret for both professionals and laypeople, the 30 parameters are summarized into a simplified metric called Scores. These scores not only reflect potential medical conditions but also provide valuable insights into the individual's overall health level.

Based on a database of 150,000 measurements, we developed the HeartReader Health Map™, which benchmarks health levels for individuals aged 15 to 85. This map assigns a health score on an absolute scale from 0 to 100, where higher numbers indicate better health. Additionally, it uses a relative scale, which compares an individual's health to others in the same age group, similar to percentile rankings in other medical assessments.

This dual-scale approach offers professionals a powerful diagnostic tool while also serving as an accessible screening resource for non-experts, providing a comprehensive understanding of an individual's health status.

Our long-term vision is to integrate HeartReader into medical practice as a prescription-based service. General practitioners, cardiologists, rehabilitation specialists, and obstetricians can invite their patients to use this advanced physiological monitoring and data collection system.

SMARTER AGING: "RESETTING YOUR FUTURE" By: Dr. Roberta Kline / Women's Health Digest AGING is a natural process that is associated with biological changes that lead to a progressive decline in physiological functioning. Additionally, the risk of HEART DISEASE increases with age and irresponsibility where changes start as early as the mid-20's, accelerating in the mid-40's and again at around age 60. While aging is inevitable, the rate at which it occurs can be faster or slower depending on multiple factors, including the interactions of genetics with diet, lifestyle, environment, and stress. It is also impacted by resilience. Without a doubt, everyone will experience aging. It’s a biological process that begins at birth, and it is inevitable. But how we age is not. We are redefining aging, celebrating it as a time of new opportunities, deeper connections, and ongoing learning. It’s a time where we are actively engaging life with joy and purpose.  Healthy aging is not just about keeping disease and disability at bay. While we’d all like to stay as healthy and functional as possible, we can age successfully and gracefully even with less-than-optimal  health.  RESILIENCE is the ability to “bounce back” from an adverse event or experience, large or small. This is influenced by biological factors (including genetics) as well as psychological ones, and both forms of resilience can be cultivated. As people with higher levels of biological and psychological resilience tend to experience improved health and quality of life as they age, this heightens its importance for better aging. Health is created from physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic balance. But balance is not static. It requires constant adjustment in response to changes and challenges in your inner and outer worlds - and often changes throughout your lifetime. Resilience helps you bounce back and regain balance.  Here are 8 simple strategies to help you cultivate resilience so you can handle whatever challenges come your way in a way that helps you thrive.

But how do obstetricians fit alongside specialists dealing with heart-related conditions? Pregnancy involves profound physiological changes, including a remarkable 40% average increase in left ventricular mass—greater than the changes seen in professional athletes after a year of intensive training. Maternal adaptation to these increased cardiovascular demands is essential for preventing pregnancy-related complications such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and intrauterine growth restriction.

With daily monitoring through HeartReader, early signs of cardiovascular decompensation can be identified, enabling healthcare providers to intervene promptly and improve outcomes. HeartReader’s flexibility allows patients across all user groups to take measurements as often as recommended by their healthcare provider. The system’s ability to track hemodynamics and physiological trends over time provides critical insights, empowering clinicians to make informed decisions and deliver better care.

Practical Use of Data – Overview

Source: HeartReader marketing

Your blood sugar, blood pressure, and pulse rate each behave independently, and our analysis captures a range of values that can indicate areas of higher or lower health status. Over time, trends begin to emerge. By collecting data for at least two consecutive weeks, a clear average for key parameters can be established, providing a reliable baseline for assessing overall health. This allows us to offer more personalized and actionable advice to clients.

For physicians, this continuous data collection offers invaluable insights into how a patient’s physiology responds to prescribed medications, enabling more precise therapy adjustments and improved monitoring of medication adherence.

Currently, HeartReader is designed to become a prescription-based system ("RX"), primarily to support physicians in optimizing treatment regimens. However, its applications extend beyond traditional medical use. Lifestyle coaches, fitness trainers, and non-medical health counselors are increasingly utilizing the device to help their clients track health improvements and achieve longevity or lifestyle goals.

Given its versatility, the HeartReader system has the potential to expand into the over-the-counter (OTC) market, making it accessible to a broader audience for personal health tracking and long-term wellness management.

We met Dr. Kulin HERE...

Personalized Testing & Validation for Launch

We have two published medical studies confirming the reliability and accuracy of the HeartReader system. These publications provide a solid foundation for the product's launch, showcasing its ability to deliver consistent and actionable insights into physiological health.

Study 1: Pulse Wave Morphology Analysis
The first study focused on the repeatability and accuracy of pulse morphology analysis. Our primary goal was to determine whether variations in measurements were due to device inaccuracy or the inherent dynamism of human physiology. To address this, we conducted tests using a pulse wave generator, a device that produces a consistent pulse wave regardless of timing or settings.

Results demonstrated that when the HeartReader receives the same input signal, its output remains consistent, proving the system’s high level of accuracy in capturing and analyzing data.

However, physiological variations were observed in real-world testing on individuals. These variations stem from the body's dynamic nature, influenced by factors as subtle as thoughts, consuming a cup of coffee, or taking a brief walk. This highlights a key insight: while HeartReader reliably tracks physiological changes, the dynamism of human physiology introduces natural variability. This contrasts with the "single-measurement" approach often used in conventional medical systems, which can overlook this dynamic nature.

Study 2: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Pulse Rate Variability (PRV) Analysis
The second publication examined the system's capability in heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, comparing it to the gold-standard software, Kubios, widely used for HRV research.

●     When the same input data was analyzed by both Kubios and HeartReader, the results showed a 99% agreement, affirming that HeartReader's HRV engine is as accurate as (or potentially even slightly more accurate than) Kubios.

●     Additionally, we compared ECG-based HRV with HeartReader's peripheral pulse-based pulse rate variability (PRV). The correlation between the two methods aligned closely with existing medical literature, further validating the system's precision and applicability.

Key Findings
These studies confirm that:

1. Pulse Morphology Analysis is highly accurate and repeatable, reliably capturing physiological signals for preclinical use.
2. HRV and PRV Analysis delivers results comparable to established gold-standard systems, making HeartReader a robust tool for understanding cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system dynamics.

HeartReader is not only accurate but also embraces the dynamic nature of human physiology, making it a revolutionary tool for personalized health monitoring and clinical support.  These studies pave the way forward towards the next steps to successfully integrate HeartReader into medical practice.

PEDIATRIC MYOCARDITIS & NATIONAL DETECTION MOVEMENT By: Dr. Robert L. Bard Since the advent of Covid-19 Long Haul studies in 2021, the medical diagnostic community shifted into overdrive- seeking out all available screening and examination protocols to assess health problems called POST-ACUTE SEQUELAE (PASC). One of the recent Covid-19 related headliners is the rise in cases of MYOCARDITIS in children 16 years and under. CDC Reports link the pathological impact with covid infection since it is proven that Viral infections are a common cause of myocarditis. Between early 2020–2021, patients with Covid-19 had nearly 16 times the risk for myocarditis[1]. According to the CDC, in a study of myocarditis cases, 2,116 (41.7%) had a history of Covid-19.  In addition, cases of myocarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) indicated links between Myocarditis and Pericarditis to come from the mRNA Covid-19 vaccination (especially in male adolescents and young adults) more often after the second dose.[2]. Myocarditis is defined as an inflammatory disorder of the heart muscle (myocardium) leading to cardiac dysfunction. It is also recognized as myocardial cell death [3]. Checkups for this also reviews for PERICARDITIS (the inflammation of the outer lining of the heart). Various causes of myocarditis includes: Viral Infectious including adenoviruses, echoviruses, enteroviruses like the coxsackie viruses. In addition, predisposition can occur from those with Autoimmune diseases such as Celiac disease, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Crohn disease, Kawasaki disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis etc. (See NIH chart for full list of causes- [4]) STANDARDIZED DIAGNOSTICS As with any critical disorder, detecting early stages of myocarditis allows for a higher opportunity to treat and even eliminate the health risk.  In children, symptoms include: Fever, Fainting, Breathing difficulties, Rapid breathing, Chest pain and Rapid or irregular heart rhythms [5]. In adults, symptoms range from chest pain, shortness of breath, at rest or during activity and fluid buildup with swelling of the legs, ankles and feet. To prevent possible heart damage, a cardiologist may order one of a number of imaging options: ▪ Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) ▪ Chest X-Ray ▪ Heart MRI ▪ Blood Tests ▪ Doppler Ultrasound for Acute Myocarditis ▪ Cardiovascular MR Elastography (MRE) ▪ Ultrasound Elastography See expanded details on diagnostic protocols, visit:  http://pediatricscan.com/myocarditis.html

Evaluating System Performance in Clinical Contexts
The next critical question is: How does the HeartReader system perform under specific clinical conditions? While there is no universally accepted gold standard for peripheral pulse wave monitoring, our extensive dataset offers compelling insights into its reliability and clinical relevance.

Large-Scale Data Validation
With over 150,000 measurements collected from more than 8,000 individuals aged 15 to 85, our analysis revealed a strong correlation between many of the 30 calculated parameters and age. Since physiological and hemodynamic functions naturally evolve with age, this alignment with well-documented aging patterns serves as a robust internal validation of the system. The fact that HeartReader accurately reflects these age-related changes, recognized as "normal" by cardiologists and the broader medical community, reinforces the system’s credibility and precision.

Highlighting Individual Variability
In addition to reflecting typical aging trends, HeartReader uncovers individual differences in aging rates and cardiovascular health. Some individuals demonstrate faster or slower aging patterns, with corresponding variations in cardiovascular risks and conditions. This variability underscores the system's ability to go beyond averages and offer personalized insights. By identifying where a person falls relative to their age group, HeartReader provides a detailed picture of individual cardiovascular health, making it a powerful tool for early detection and intervention.

Establishing Age-Based Averages
Despite individual differences, the extensive data pool has enabled us to establish clear averages for each age group. These benchmarks further validate the system's capacity to serve as a precise and personalized monitoring tool, offering healthcare providers a reliable means of assessing cardiovascular health and guiding patient care.

HeartReader's combination of large-scale validation, individual variability analysis, and alignment with established medical norms positions it as a cutting-edge system for clinical and personalized health applications.

HealthTech Report: The Alfasight 9000

INTRODUCTION: In our constant search for the latest innovations in non‐invasive health and medical advancements, HealthTech Reporter met with DR. DANIEL BEILIN of Alfa Thermodiagnostics, the developer of the ALFASIGHT 9000. 

In August of 2024, HealthTech Reporter conducted a private interview with Dr. Daniel Beilin (CTO  & Founder) about establishing the science of Regulation Thermography and his ALFA System.

TECH DESCRIPTION FROM THE WEBSITE: 

The AlfaSight 9000™ (also known as the ALFA‐Scan System) is a robust, easy‐to use, and reproducible measurement system that utilizes streamlined infrared technology, artificial intelligence (AI) ‐ and years of world‐corroborated, accumulated data. It’s a whole‐body, early‐detection system that views a patient’s overall health while finding hidden issues and causes for many disease including pre‐disease contributing factors.

According to the manufacturer, this adjunct diagnostic device may detect the following Organ Dysfunctions:

‐ Diabetes and Pre‐Diabetes (Pancreas) ‐ Breast (Breast Health, DCIS and Cystic Changes) ‐ Vascular Brain and Headache Origins ‐ Liver Disorders and Disease ‐ Endocrine Function (Pituitary/Thyroid/Ovary) ‐ Cardiac Function (Efficiency, Electrophysiology)

‐ Early or Hidden Dental Infections ‐ Structural Integrity (Neuromuscular) ‐ Pulmonary Function ‐ Viral and Bacterial Disease Monitoring ‐ Kidney Dysfunction ‐ Lymphatic Monitoring

FROM DR. BEILIN'S INTERVIEW

Dr. Daniel Beilin is an American specialist in alternative medicine for over 35 years. He has a neurophysiology, gastroenterology, and herbal sciences background. His first research at the age of 16 included his own laboratory at the UCLA Brain Research Institute and is now internationally recognized for his contributions to detection of the causes of cancer and immune dysfunction with cutting‐edge precision‐based European diagnostic tools

PHILOSOPHIES: I was six and a half years in academic medical research when I decided that conventional medicine as it is practiced relies on quick recipe formulas that all too‐often disregard the individual case and differences of the constitutional strengths and weaknesses of patients. Whereas (truth is), every individual is different; the same pneumonia patient can have a different etiology and a different organ involvement that helps to make the person vulnerable to not only pulmonary disease, but lays a susceptibility to other diseases including cancers or autoimmune disorders.

I wanted to explore the terrain, which means that our own physiological functions affected by the autonomic nervous system, our metabolism, environmental toxic exposures, our diet‐‐ all of these factors are usually ignored by conventional medicine. When someone walks in a clinic with a particular disease, physicians all too often target the end stage symptom and rarely identify CAUSE, thereby never addressing long term prevention. They can save lives as surgeons can definitely do a good job of that, but then what? In the search for a preventive world, there must be an understanding of how to see things that are originally invisible, diseases that are developing, ‐and not yet causing tissue damage or advancing pathology, as would be seeable in a blood test.

Alfa’s technology vaguely overlaps acupuncture, Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, however traditional medicine needs more objective and reproducible diagnostics that can finally be gained by the sensitivity and specificity of Regulation Thermometry. It's more in line with neurology. The doctors that can immediately understand what we're doing by our device are nuclear medicine physicians and cardiologists... because what we're really doing is a process of challenging the body and examining the responses to the challenge. We do this simply by subjecting the patient to the cooler air of a normal room, before and after clothing removal. By this dynamic temperature analysis, we can understand health, like opening up a new visual method of invisible causes that explain many disease processes from their beginnings. We are finally able to see the resilience characteristics expressed through each organ system by simple stress-analysis. From here, we take a 'before and after' exposure measurements, then we're able to define where in the body are the non‐ideal atypical responses, then corroborate with directed, specific laboratory tests or imaging diagnostics.

MY HISTORICAL PATH OF THE ALFASIGHT 9000: 

I started this path by visiting clinics and laboratories in Germany in 1979. Over the next 40 years, I attended in different integrative medicine clinics and hospitals in Europe. As you may know, Germany has always combined conventional medicine with alternative methods such as homeopathic medicine, herbal medicine and nutritional medicine. The Europeans are the most open‐minded alongside being science-based, and of course, very ‘logical’ in the way they think (over 50% of physicians in Germany utilize some form of unconventional medicine such as acupuncture, nutrition or physical therapeutic methods.

ALFA'S SYSTEM ORIGINS…

There was a Dr. Schwamm who invented this method of neurologically‐based regulation analysis. I explored his work through his students (since he had died by the time I got there). One of them was a Dr. Reimar Banis who was an internist who partnered with a gynecologist, told me about this great diagnostic tool. They had discovered hidden factors in their scans that proved to lead to breast and cervical cancers.

To clarify,  I did not invent the technology, but I led a team and improved the hardware (and software) it vastly to be more stable and accurate. We identified patterns of disease-complexes by repeated testing of hypothetical variants which led to establishing formulas or algorithms (pattern recognition). The values that we now acquire are more highly calibrated to detect disturbances in signaling from physiological systems and make them even more recognizable. Banis came to me and said, "I know the guy that is manufacturing the devices, so why don't you see if you can get it through the FDA, and then you could distribute them and then educate doctors." So that's exactly what I did.

GOING PERSONALIZED WITH FUNCTIONAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH A CANCER DIAGNOSIS Written By Dr. Jess Sabrowsky DNP, RN, FNP-BC Do you know someone undergoing treatment for cancer? You might be asking what you can do to help. It is known that the brain and tissues in the body are affected when oxygen saturation levels dip below 90% because oxygen is not getting to the cells or brain. Now you ask, what is the purpose of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)? HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment helps the lungs collect and circulate more oxygen throughout the body offering countless health benefits: improving brain fog, helps wounds and damaged tissues by supporting the body to build new blood vessels, eliminate toxins and prevent infections. While it is not a cure for cancer, HBOT can serve as a complementary therapy that enhances the overall treatment experience and supports healing in various ways. Coupled with Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), HBOT can “supercharge” the body, optimizing cellular function and promoting overall health. Here is a summary of the key benefits of HBOT: (See full article)

Continued: "The Alfasight 9000"

I brought this original device to FDA, cleared it with the Department of Radiological Devices and distributed them to over 120 clinics in North America. I then improved the device and got the second one cleared with FDA. We began a new introduction to the device in leading integrative medicine conferences, as it clearly gives a new vision to the causes of many disorders and syndromes.  We were then endorsed by physicians who are leaders in the field of complementary medicine.

MORE DETAILS ON WHAT IT DOES

This method of measuring skin temperatures before and after a stress by temperature change, isn’t trying to look INSIDE the body like an X-Ray or MRI, but instead it is taking the skin's temperature within organ‐’reflection’ zones, -as the skin is controlled by the sympathetic nerves that control capillaries to open and close, letting heat out or keeping heat in. In fact, we're using the sympathetic nervous system by way of connections through the spinal REFLEX ARC, connecting with the internal organs carrying projected information from specific organ systems as well as tissues such as breasts, lymph and through pattern-recognition, identifies many more syndromes as well as neurological problems.

THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE

It's a single 20‐minute test. It involves taking the first measurement from the head down to just below the waist, and then removing clothes to the underwear, so that the patient then becomes exposed to the cooler room-air for 10 minutes. This initiates a fight or flight reaction whereby the blood shunts to your core and to your head. The response is quantified according to known patterns that have been corroborated with laboratory tests and imaging over the last 45 years (Europe originally). 

By looking at the responses, before and after cooling, in approximately a hundred points, we're able to obtain information about organ systems that may be abnormally functioning those that are in their infancy stage up to their actual disease state. This opens up a whole new window for true, preventive care.

Five years ago, I presented at Beth Deaconess Hospital in Boston (Harvard) to 10 radiologists. One of them was the lead expert who leads all breast cancer radiological research, trying to use computer assisted diagnostics (CAD) and applying artificial intelligence to mammograms. She told me at the time that their computer assisted diagnosis was a near‐ complete failure and that the radiologist's eyes are still the most accurate assessment tool.

This uses up a lot of hours and manpower and very highly trained, trained people. She liked the Alfa system because it, as she said, “digitizes, making results objective”, and “it looks like you have algorithms that may depict developing breast cancers, which is what we are looking for in our research."

We planned a study on breast assessment in two categories. Ones that are not yet known, whether they're producing a neoplasm (cancer tumor) yet, and known breast cancers that have been treated, in order to better establish categories of patterns depicting recurrence probability. 

Within this time, the FDA cleared our 510k and declared our device, the AlfaSight 9000 system as an ADJUNCT diagnostic system. This means that it doesn't tell you that you have cancer; if you have hepatitis (per‐se), but instead, it tells you that "you better do some imaging in this area‐‐ or perhaps you ought to go out for a blood test here because we have the pattern of, say, autoimmune thyroid like Hashimoto's or Graves disease" but need to confirm in specific, cost‐effective ways.

This kind of information gathered by this dynamic, functional physiological analysis approach assists doctors in making better decisions on what to test for and ways to individualize protocol treatment strategies. The Alfa system has a very high specificity for about 35 conditions. The test takes 20 minutes and certified technicians can be taught how to operate it in an hour‐ which includes generating a report based on all the data that's accumulated for proper interpretation and strategy-planning.

To date, we have 180 devices in 14 countries right now. Planned is a new project with the now-largest hospital in Asia (AIMS Hospital, just outside Delhi with the lead physician, Dr. Prem Nair. We are advancing into projects with our device that may lead to a crucial step: functional physiological resilience analysis. 

Patients improve faster and more completely if they are systemically resilient, now there is a method to measure that resilience.  My hope and clear goal is to maximize that possibility with this reproducible data-driven comprehensive measurement tool.

THE CRITICAL ROLE OF DIAGNOSTICS IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS  By: Dr. Jess Sabrowsky DNP, RN, FNP-BC What I have learned over the years is the importance of listening to the patient, but equally, the importance of using data-driven diagnostics to make real-time decisions about care. This is not just about numbers on a chart—it is about understanding the full picture of your health, long before symptoms arise. We need to use technology, diagnostics, and assessment techniques to gather real data. Data that can guide each patient on their unique health journey. Diagnostics help us understand the true state of a person’s health, even when they may not feel “sick.” This is where the rubber meets the road: when you find a PCP who truly understands the importance of these tools and works with you to achieve your wellness goals and who also has skills beyond the transitional medical model to help you live your best life. Having difficult conversations is uncomfortable, but it is necessary for growth. If you want a healthcare provider who will partner with you—someone who creates a safe space, builds trust, and encourages honest dialogue to support long-term growth—then you must also be willing to put in the effort. Finding a provider who matches your commitment to your health, and one who uses diagnostics to empower you, is key to achieving your goals. WHY DIAGNOSTICS MATTER In short, diagnostics are essential because they offer concrete, actionable insights into your health that go beyond surface-level symptoms. They help uncover hidden health risks and enable early intervention, which can be the difference between preventing a chronic condition or managing it effectively. Diagnostics allow for personalized care tailoring interventions to meet the specific needs of the individual based on real, measurable data. I also would add that as a provider I prefer to reference functional lab ranges when reviewing results as I find that I can make small preventative recommendations and also challenge individuals and providers to think outside the box when looking to help resolve health conditions, like in the case of my daughter who otherwise would still be suffering. Let’s aim to stop the suffering and optimize wellness for all who seek it.
