Our Technology

The Russian researcher Dr Igor Gennadyevich Grakov has mathematically modelled the consequences of sensory input upon the autonomic nervous system and the physiological systems i.e. a mathematical model of the physiological systems. It is upon this model that Virtual Scanning is based.

Nobel Laureate Professor Eric Kandel has written of the theoretical void which exists between cognition and cellular biology. This is Dr Grakov's area of research and knowledge.  His is the first recognition of the processes which the body uses to (naturally) regulate its function. This knowledge has diagnostic and therapeutic significance.

Sensory input is a biochemical process. Accordingly the cumulative effect of sensory input, often experienced as stress, has biochemical consequences i.e. it influences the autonomic nervous system. Altered visual perception, of colour and of visual contrast,  is associated with disease states and the use of drugs.   It is therefore associated with the function of the autonomic nervous system and the onset of pathologies. This involves the level of protein expression (genotype) and the rate at which proteins react (phenotype).  Each pathology being linked to different proteins and altered reaction conditions. Accordingly a cognitive test of colour perception can be linked to the onset of pathologies and used as a diagnostic principle i.e. for the diagnosis of all common pathologies.

The understanding of the nature and significance of the physiological systems - incorporated into Grakov's mathematical model - enables a greater level of understanding of systemic dysfunction and, ultimately, of the cellular and molecular biochemical consequences which arise from systemic dysfunction. This has prognostic significance.

The technique, Virtual Scanning, appears able to diagnose the progression of disease from its earliest presymptomatic origins. It may be able to diagnose earlier, more comprehensively, better, quicker and at significantly less cost than orthodox medical tests.

Virtual Scanning is a technology platform with diagnostic and therapeutic significance. The ability of the technology to diagnose and contribute to an improved understanding of diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, migraine, developmental dyslexia, regressive autism, and sleep apnoea is reported in our bibliography.

Further information about Virtual Scanning is reported in over 20 medical articles published in mainstream medical journals (
see bibliography).
