ZYTO technology is a communication<br />

system through which information<br />

is transmitted and analyzed.<br />

Communication is the transmission of information and knowledge. As human<br />

beings, we consider ourselves intelligent based upon the information we retain and<br />

how we act on that information.<br />

On a simplified level, it is obvious how valuable information and communication<br />

are. For example, a teacher instructs her students to recognize specific shapes, and<br />

they learn to read. A pilot navigates his passengers safely through the sky by trusting<br />

data communicated from various locations throughout the world. In both instances,<br />

the transmission and receipt of information are vital to survival and human<br />

understanding.<br />

ZYTO Corporation recognizes the significance of information and communication.<br />

As the global leader in bio-communication technology, the company stands at<br />

the cutting edge of two decades of technological evolution. Dr. Vaughn R Cook,<br />

OMD, founded ZYTO to create operating systems that facilitate the transfer of<br />

information between computers and human beings. Since 2004, health professionals<br />

around the world have used ZYTO technology to improve patient care and clinical<br />

outcomes. ZYTO’s main purpose is to assist in the transmission of information in a<br />

quick, painless, and subliminal manner.<br />

ZYTO creates communication systems through which information is transmitted<br />

and analyzed. Our technology is the link between two information processors: a<br />

computer and a human body. ZYTO instruments monitor dynamic biological states<br />

in near-real time and then create a stimulus-response experience called a bio-survey.<br />

During the bio-survey, computer data (called virtual stressors) are used to stimulate<br />

observable changes in the biological state.<br />

Using patent-pending methods, ZYTO technology analyzes the interchange<br />

between the stimulus from the computer and the response from the patient’s body.<br />

This data provides valuable clinical information that ZYTO practitioners use to<br />

create improved and comprehensive client-specific health solutions.<br />

By accessing data at a subconscious level, health practitioners using ZYTO<br />

technology are able to expand their patients’ care options. With ZYTO, they can<br />

design relevant questions and receive detailed answers that serve as navigational aids.<br />

Even though this information is not diagnostic, it can facilitate better diagnostic and<br />

therapeutic decisions.<br />

Leading clinicians, from locations around the world, are now using ZYTO<br />

technology. ZYTO’s global influence is a result of the technology’s universal<br />

appeal and the instruments’ adaptability to numerous languages and cultures. Most<br />

recently, in February 2007, ZYTO brought its technology to Shanghai, China,<br />

and as the world landscape changes, ZYTO technology will continue to expand to<br />

accommodate the needs of expanding markets.

The Technology<br />

ZYTO’s bio-communication technology improves quality of life by helping you<br />

balance your body’s stress system through better therapeutic decisions for both<br />

patient and practitioner alike.<br />

Our bodies are made up of various systems that can respond to stimuli. The smell<br />

of food (stimulus) triggers the mouth to salivate (response). A loud noise (stimulus)<br />

triggers the release of adrenaline into the blood and an increased heart rate<br />

(response).<br />

There are various ways to measure the body’s response to stimuli. One way is GSR<br />

or Galvanic Skin Response. GSR measures the conductivity (how well something<br />

conducts electricity) of the largest organ in the body, the skin. The conductivity of<br />

the skin was first discovered around 1888 by Tarchanoff. In the early 1900’s it was<br />

established by Dr. Carl Jung that GSR measurements could track physiological<br />

arousal or stress in the body. In the 1930’s Dr. Hans Selye began to uncover the<br />

importance of understanding stress and what information it could tell us about the<br />

different systems of the body. These discoveries of the importance of stress in the<br />

body and its ability to be measured through GSR have led to the creation of many<br />

common devices, such as the polygraph test.<br />

Late in the 20th century, many researchers identified further uses for GSR, such as<br />

recognizing that it could be monitored on acupuncture points to measure the body’s<br />

energy meridians. GSR could be used to track the body’s energetic state and balance.<br />

In the late 1990’s, integrating Eastern Medicine with Western research in stress<br />

and GSR, Dr. Vaughn R Cook began research to advance the theory of the body’s<br />

internal “Stress System” that is related to and interacts with all other systems of<br />

the body. A balanced stress system brings about optimal quality of life, whereas, an<br />

imbalanced system leads to problems that may show up such as fatigue, weight gain,<br />

low energy, chronic pain, etc...


ZYTO’s bio-communication technology was developed to measure the body’s Stress<br />

System. Much like a polygraph technician asking a subject questions and evaluating<br />

the body’s response, ZYTO Technology uses GSR to measure the Stress System’s<br />

response to virtual stimuli in real time. In a sense, ZYTO Technology asks the<br />

body questions and measures how the body responds. This information leads to the<br />

creation of a “Stress Profile” which reveals the state of balance and imbalance within<br />

the Stress System. Next, it queries the body with possible balancing solutions and<br />

measures the response to determine the best approaches.<br />

Technology<br />

Through implementation of these solutions the Stress System can become more<br />

balanced which leads to improved quality of life for the individual.<br />

Understanding Deviation Ratios (dR)<br />

The LSA PRO and Balance Systems are bio-communication devices, facilitating<br />

the transfer of information between a computer and a human body. This is<br />

accomplished after the person places his hand on the hand cradle and the computer<br />

detects it. Several times each second the circuitry inside the hand cradle measures<br />

galvanic skin response (GSR) at each of the contact points. The software operator<br />

then instructs the computer to conduct what is called a Bio-Survey.<br />

A Bio-Survey consists of a series of discreet time periods. During the first period<br />

a baseline is calculated. Next, the computer outputs a stimulus, called a virtual<br />

stressor, and then measures the body’s response. The response is compared to the<br />

baseline and any variation is noted. This process is repeated until the Bio-Survey is<br />

complete.<br />

Proprietary algorithms are involved at each step of the Bio-Survey. Since they<br />

are proprietary, their expression required its own terminology which we named<br />

“deviation Ratio” or “dR”. dR is not expressive of any common mathematical<br />

calculation (i.e. standard deviation, etc) and applies only to ZYTO technology. dR<br />

is a comparative, numerical representation of the body’s response to the stimulus.<br />

- dR Indicates a stress response.<br />

+ dR Indicates a balance response.<br />

0 dR Indicates no reaction (the baseline and response were the same).<br />

Is one dR good and another bad?<br />

No, the +dR is not ‘better’ than a –dR.


How the dR is applied:<br />

1. Bio-Surveys intended to identify items that may be antagonistic to the<br />

body are initiated using the Stressor icon. (This applies only to the LSA<br />

PRO, the Balance automatically does this and does not have a Stressor icon).<br />

The dRs further from zero are significant (both + and -). Those further from<br />

zero represent a significant response, thus the more antagonistic the stimulus<br />

(virtual stressor).<br />

2. Bio-Surveys intended to identify items that may be therapeutic or<br />

balancing to the body are initiated using the balance icon. (This applies only<br />

to the LSA PRO, the Balance automatically does this and does not have a<br />

balance icon). The dRs with the most positive number are most significant.<br />

Positive dRs indicate a balance response.<br />

3. Bio-Surveys intended to identify items that the body sees as ‘inert’ are<br />

initiated using either the Stressor or balance icons (This applies only to the<br />

LSA PRO and not the Balance). Those dRs at or closest to zero are also<br />

significant, because the body shows no response.<br />

Bio-Communication and Reproducibility<br />

ZYTO technology facilitates Bio-Communication by allowing a conversation to<br />

take place directly between a computer and a human body. The process is called a<br />

bio-survey. A bio-survey is not diagnostic and is not intended to identify or treat a<br />

disease. The closest clinical comparison is a health history. During the first clinic<br />

visit it is customary to have a patient complete a health history. Gathering this<br />

information may involve the use of a clipboard, a printed form, and a pen. These are<br />

not medical devices, but the information acquired can have significant clinical value.<br />

In a similar, but subconscious way, ZYTO technology is used to “ask” a patient<br />

questions and record the “answers”. The tools that facilitate this are the hand cradle,<br />

upon which the patient rests his/her hand, and the computer software. These<br />

are non-medical tools but the information obtained from a bio-survey can have<br />

significant clinical value.<br />

The conversation between the computer and the patient takes the form of a<br />

stimulus-response exercise. The computer asks a question by sending a signal to the<br />

patient, called a virtual stressor. Upon receiving the signal the patient’s body will<br />

respond, measured as a shift in GSR (galvanic skin response) at the point of contact<br />

with the hand cradle. ZYTO software records and analyzes this data and displays it<br />

in a way that is easily understood by the operator.<br />

The challenge Bio-Communication poses for many healthcare professionals is<br />

the mindset that everything done in the clinic is akin to a lab test. Although<br />

many medical procedures such as blood pressure monitoring and blood tests<br />

can vary when repeated in short intervals, this mindset can bring an expectation<br />

that one question when asked repeatedly should result in the same answer. Bio-<br />

Communication is discounted as “non-reproducible”. When repeated, bio-surveys<br />

do not result in the same answers.


Clinicians using ZYTO technology report that data collected and plotted over time<br />

from an individual patient show consistent trends. They further report that a biosurvey<br />

is most valuable when executed only once – the first results are the best. But,<br />

immediate “reproducibility” can be problematic. Reasons why:<br />

1. The hand cradle measures GSR or body energy. Energy is dynamic and<br />

shifts quickly. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) this body energy<br />

is called chi and is considered the most rapidly moving anatomical element.<br />

Thus the response to a given stimulus (virtual stressor) can easily change in<br />

two separate time periods, even though the stimulus is the same.<br />

2. The stimulus is therapeutic; not in the medicinal sense but in the<br />

informational sense. It’s analogous to someone slouching in his chair and<br />

complaining about his back hurting. He is informed that his posture may be<br />

the problem and when he sits up straight his back pain disappears – his stress<br />

is relieved. The information regarding his posture affected the solution.<br />

3. The bio-survey is a conversation not a lab test and it may not be in the<br />

body’s best interest to always provide the same answer (response) to a given<br />

question (stimulus).<br />

During the development stage, results from ZYTO technology were compared to<br />

other energetic systems. Techniques and validation were near one hundred percent.<br />

These results indicate that Bio-Communication provides reliable information from<br />

which a health professional can build diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for<br />

each individual patient. Clinic outcomes are almost always enhanced when Bio-<br />

Communication becomes an integral part of the data gathering process.<br />

4. Coherence Patterns<br />

Coherence is a state where two or more things exist without conflict.<br />

By tracking multiple inputs ZYTO technology can calculate shifts in<br />

coherence as the body responds to each digital signature. Signatures<br />

that create greater coherence than the baseline are given a positive<br />

score and signatures creating less coherence than the baseline are<br />

given a negative score.<br />

3. Galvanic Skin Response<br />

Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) is an<br />

established technology that measures<br />

fluctuations in electrical conductivity<br />

of the skin as the body responds to<br />

various stimuli. One application of GSR<br />

that many people are familiar with is<br />

lie-detector testing.<br />

5. Proprietary Software<br />

The data received from the hand<br />

cradle is plotted and analyzed<br />

for coherence. Each response is<br />

given a positive or negative score<br />

called a Deviation Ratio (dR).<br />

1. Digital Signatures<br />

Computer generated digital signatures representing<br />

physical stimuli are sent to the body. These digital<br />

stimuli elicit physiological responses from the body,<br />

one of which is a change in the conductivity of the<br />

skin (GSR). These fluctuations in skin conductivity are<br />

measured and sent back to the computer for analysis<br />

and interpretation.<br />

6. Prioritized Results<br />

A fter analyzing the data from<br />

the hand cradle, the computer<br />

displays the data in an easyto-read<br />

graphical interface.<br />

The data shows the body’s<br />

responses ranked in order of<br />

priority. Results are optimized<br />

and time is used more efficiently<br />

by focusing on the body’s<br />

priorities.<br />
