In Simpler Terms...
Scientists and medical professionals have long been interested in the idea of non-invasive diagnostics – roughly speaking, so that would not have to 'disassemble' the object of study in order to find out 'what is inside of it'. Drawing the analogy further, this is akin to how a qualified mechanic can identify a problem by the sound of a car engine without disassembling it. Such methods exist in relation to the human body, and refer to an organ that we can all observe without breaking the natural external barriers of the body. This organ is the skin.
...about reflective diagnostics
Doctors' long-term experience shows, among other things, that certain disorders of human internal organs reflect on the state of the skin in a specific manner, with each organ's disorder having its own effect. Based on a more general idea of processes inside the body reflecting on the skin is the field of reflective diagnostics (from Latin reflectomeaning 'I reflect'). In addition, there is a large amount of information about the so-called biologically active points (BAPs) present on the skin, by studying which you can see the 'reflection' of a particular body system's state. This information has been obtained in a variety of ways, from the 'life experience' of the masters of Chinese medicine to biomedical and statistical research under the authority of the USSR Ministry of Health.
...about EPD
Nowadays, a variety of reflective diagnostics called electropuncture diagnostics (EPD) has been developed. It relies on registration of the electrical characteristics of the skin at the sites where BAPs are located. There are various EPD methods, usually basing themselves on methods developed by Nakatani or Voll (you will meet these names more than once in the information part of our website), with various degrees of reliability. However, both of these methods have a number of 'innate' drawbacks. The 'Prognoz' technology, developed and offered by NTK Integrative Systems, being the result of the above-mentioned extensive scientific research in the USSR and Russia, eliminates these shortcomings to a large extent.
...about 'Prognoz' technology
During the development of Russian EPD 'Prognoz', it was discovered that it functions well not only as a diagnostic tool, but also in a much wider range, being a tool for assessing the functional state of a practically healthy human. It can be used to assess the level of fatigue and 'rest' of nuclear power plant operators, the level of preparedness of athletes, the psychological stress on students, and much more. This system is also a so-called testing EPD system, which allows it to be used to accompany rehabilitation processes and original health improvement methods with them acting as a 'test impact'.
