Frequently Asked Questions:
Is there any limit on number of
clients and/or tests stored in the product’s
database?
No, there are no formal
limitations.
Can this product be used to
measure autonomic balance before and after chiropractic
adjustment?
Yes. The Inner Balance Scan has
Pre/Post test mode, which allows for conducting two
measurements combined in one test. The results of such
test would show autonomic balance for both Pre- and
Post- measurements and show its shift from Pre-1 to
Post.
What
does this report mean and how can I interpret the report
for the client?
The Inner Balance Scan produces a
fairly simple assessment report.
If you test your
client in a single test mode, you get a simple
“snapshot” of the client’s current status of the
autonomic function. The report shows three diagrams –
autonomic balance, regulatory efforts bar and well-being
self-assessment indicator.
The autonomic balance
diagram shows how active and well-balanced your client’s
stimulating and calming functions are.

Ideally healthy individual should
produce this diagram with a dot representing actual
result in the center of this diagram indicating that
both functions are normal and very well balanced.
Depending on where exactly the dot appears on this
diagram the assessment report produces a specific
interpretation indicating what this could mean: it could
be a state of relaxation response, or acute stress, or
total autonomic dystonia. It gives you some clues what
might potentially cause this state and what to do.
The regulatory efforts diagram indicates a state
of overall activity of all regulatory mechanisms
responsible for body adaptation. The higher this
indicator is the better body function is. However
extremely high value might be an indication of poor
quality of data recording, which is specifically
evaluated by the software.
If you test your
client in Pre/Post mode and run two tests before and
after something, e.g. your treatment procedure, you will
get two dots on each diagrams and arrow will show in
which direction changes occur.

The report gives you interpretations
of both tests is the same way as in single mode. However
you will intuitively see what kind of change has
occurred in the autonomic balance as a result of your
procedure.
Whenever I try to start up Inner
Balance Scan on my PC with Windows XP, I get the
following error message:
Biocom Technologies
Activation Application
Error in Activation
Application:
Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic
operation.
How do I correct the problems causing
this error?
To resolve this problem, try the
following:
- Visit Microsoft Windows Update site,
check and install all updates available for your system.
It automatically detects what you need to install.
-
Reinstall Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 by running the
DOTNETFX.EXE program from the Inner Balance Scan CD or
download .NET Framework 2.0 from Microsoft
Website.
- Reboot your PC.
Is this report good or
bad?
The key element of the Inner Balance
Scan assessment report is an autonomic balance diagram
which indicates how active and well-balanced your
client’s stimulating and calming functions are.

Ideally healthy individual should
produce this diagram with a dot representing actual
result in the center of this diagram indicating that
both functions are normal and very well balanced.
Depending on where exactly the dot appears on this
diagram the assessment report produces a specific
interpretation indicating what this could mean. If we
number all 9 segments of this diagram from left to right
and from top to bottom, then good results would be if
the dot is located in segments 2, 3 or 5. Segments 7, 8
and 9 are considered as not
good.
What is the difference between
the Inner Balance Scan and the Heart Rhythm
Scanner?
The Inner Balance Scan is a low budget
tool providing minimum means to get a quick and simple
yet accurate and valid assessment of the autonomic
function. The Heart Rhythm Scanner is more
sophisticated and comprehensive tool to assess the
autonomic function. It gives ability to perform
full-scale short-term HRV analysis and get a detailed
autonomic assessment report based on single or multiple
testing protocols including resting HRV test,
orthostatic and slow metronomic breathing challenge
tests. It provides a number of ways to show test results
in numerical and graphical formats, export measured data
to perform additional analysis using known statistical
or math tools, and much more.
Please explain to me what the
numbers on the assessment report mean?
The Inner Balance Scan produces three
simple scores:
- Calming activity – the level of
functional activity of the parasympathetic nervous
system primarily responsible for body’s relaxation
response.
- Stimulating activity – the level
of functional activity of the sympathetic nervous
system primarily responsible for body’s stress
response.
- Regulatory efforts – the overall
level of body’s regulatory activity including
autonomic nervous system and other slower mechanisms
of body regulation such as hormonal activity, major
biological rhythms, etc.
The
first two scores range from -50 to +50. The third score
ranges from 0 to 100. They all are arbitrary units.
Their value is directly tied to their normal ranges
derived from the population normative database created
in a specially designed research study. For the first
two scores normal ranges are between -20 and +30. The
closer the numbers are to 0, the closer respective
parameters to their ideal state. The third parameter has
normal range between 40 and 60. Its values less than 40
are considered not good, although values above 60 are
good if the quality of test data was not compromised.
How can I
use this product in my practice to help my
clients?
In some ways it depends on what kind
of practice you do.
- Generally this product is used to assess current
condition of the autonomic nervous system and its
reserve capabilities. It is known that many health
problems have the autonomic nervous system involved.
The ANS is a central regulatory mechanism that makes
all body parts functioning adequately responding to
many internal and external factors. The purpose of
such regulation is to quickly adapt to changes in the
environment. Many diseases start developing when the
ANS becomes unable to properly regulate body
functions. At that time there are no common clinical
symptoms yet, but assessing the autonomic function may
show its dysfunction. If this appears consistently it
should be considered as an early sign of an onset of
some health problem. Although this assessment has a
non-specific nature and cannot give a distinctive
diagnosis, using it as a screening tool to see if
there are any red flags risen by the organism could be
very helpful.
- The ANS is sensitive to various types of
interventions having effect on its function. So it
might be very helpful to use this product to evaluate
such effects by either taking test before and after
treatment procedures of by regular testing during the
course of treatment to see if there is any positive
effect of this treatment on the autonomic
function.
- Using challenge tests (cardiovascular health and
baroreflex sensitivity tests) could be used to find
even hidden or subtle problems in the autonomic
function. The standard assessment at rest may not show
any problem with the autonomic function. But these
challenge tests provoke the ANS to respond to certain
challenge forcing its adaptive capabilities. So subtle
problems with the autonomic function could be found
when no other testing methods would show anything
wrong.
Tell
me about the differences between your products you have
so many.
There are a few categories of the
product we provide:
- Health assessment systems based on evaluation of
the autonomic function:
- Heart Rhythm Scanner 3.0 – a
comprehensive health assessment system providing
three types of testing capabilities: autonomic
balance test (assessing current body’s autonomic
function), cardiovascular health test (assessing
regulatory reserve of the autonomic nervous system
and cardiovascular physiological adaptation
capabilities) and baroreflex sensitivity test
(assessing health of the core regulatory mechanism
of body’s functional adaptation).
- Inner Balance Scan 2.0 – a simple
low budget tool for simple assessment of the
autonomic function – its balance and activity
level.
- Heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring system:
- HRV Live! – a comprehensive tool
for measuring and monitoring the autonomic function
in real-time using live HRV analysis. It can be used
to assess full dynamics of the body’s autonomic
regulation under influence of various
interventions.
- Stress management and health improvement tools:
- Heart Tracker Professional – a
comprehensive tool providing biofeedback training
capabilities based on paced breathing techniques to
help teaching patients how to reduce stress and
improve various aspects of health (lowering blood
pressure, strengthening immune system, improving
digestive function, etc.)
- Heart Tracker 3.0 – an inexpensive
tool for individual biofeedback training based on
paced breathing techniques as indicated above.
