iTOVi
What’s an iTOVi?*
iTOVi is a scanning device that ranks galvanic skin response (GSR) measurements. During a scan, the iTOVi uses GSR technology by sending stimuli to the body one at a time and measuring the body’s response to each. iTOVi then produces a report that ranks small changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin, listing the body’s strongest responses in order.
Galvanic skin response is also referred to at times as electrodermal activity or skin conductance testing.
In summary, iTOVi is a device that measures changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin to a stimulus. iTOVi is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Our bodies are highly complex chemical, structural, and energetic masterpieces with trillions of components and millions of processes and cycles. The elegant symphony that occurs within each of us to keep our body in a state of well-being highlights our complexity and individuality. The body also has many ways of revealing its inner workings beyond that of traditional methods.
The Stimulus
Continually on the move, our bodies are changing, pivoting, and adjusting to keep us in a state of health and homeostasis. Internal and environmental stressors, both useful and harmful, are some of the leading causes of these changes and generate reactions within the body. iTOVi traces these occurrences in the body by sending stimuli to induce a response.
The Response
For centuries, reactions from the body have been observed and recorded using a variety of methods, including pulse, eye dilation, breathing patterns, and more. iTOVi uses galvanic skin response/GSR by measuring the electrical conductivity of the skin and identifying the most pronounced changes.
Algorithm
Galvanic skin response has been around for a long time, and iTOVi is making advances into the measurements GSR provides. After an iTOVi hand scan is complete, the data is processed through iTOVi’s complex proprietary algorithm, giving us a deeper look at the small changes in the conductivity of the skin. We then analyze the scan results to increase the intelligence of the iTOVi algorithm.
Report
Once the iTOVi scan is complete, a report will show you the results of your scan in the iTOVi app. The scan results are listed in priority based on the changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin. The report is permanently saved under the client name in the app. You can also choose to email or text the report to the client through the iTOVi app, giving you a convenient way to share the scan results. The iTOVi nutrition scanner is an advanced and powerful tool to help you grow your business and learn more about your overall wellness.
What do the results of an iTOVi report mean?
Ideally, you should use products that your body responds well to. The results of an iTOVi report show the results of the scan in order of your GSR response.
When a product shows up on the report, that means you had a positive or strong response to the product. Of course, this “positive” response refers only to the galvanic skin response measurement. iTOVi isn’t making any claim as to the effectiveness of the product.
As an example, a common question is “How does iTOVi know which products I need?” First, iTOVi doesn’t measure which products you need, just your galvanic skin response to them. Second, iTOVi doesn’t know; it only displays changes in the electrical conductivity of the skin to the stimuli.
We don’t claim to know all of the reasons why a person’s body would respond a certain way to a stimulus. iTOVi is not a diagnostic tool and any claims that would entail a diagnosis are unfounded and should be avoided. What we do know is that when people use products that they respond well to, they tend to feel good and experience an increase in their mood. And who wouldn’t want that?
I know I find tools like this very interesting, so, of course, I had to get one. My scanner arrived over the weekend, and if you’re local to me, or if we meet up somewhere, I can scan you and discuss your scan results with you. It only takes a few minutes.
