Abstract

Background: Discussion of the physical principles and recent advances in the Electrophotonic Imaging (Gas Discharge Visualization) technique is presented. Special attention is given to the description of the latest patents. This technique is being used word-wide for the evaluation of the psycho-emotional state of people, in particularly, in sport; and for analysis of plants, minerals, water and hair.

Conclusion: It is shown that the Electrophotonic imaging method has a long history and with introduction of digital image processing became useful practical tool for alternative/complementary medicine and integrative healthcare. Bio-Well instrument (www.bio-well.com) follows the latest trends in modern development: all image processing is done on server, which protects from viruses and hacker attacks and allows regularly offer customers free updates. This opens up perspectives for using Bio-Well instrument for the scientific research.

Keywords: Bio-well instrument, electrophotonic imaging, gas discharge visualization, healthcare, wellbeing.
