Electronics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has developed a novel instrument, called Medical Analyzer, for studying the time domain variations in the physiological parameters such as heart rate, respiration rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and peripheral blood flow in human subjects. This system has been used to explore the possibility of disease characterization from variability of heart rate, peripheral blood flow etc in around 200 of subjects with encouraging results. Also therapeutic response has been observed with material-less medicine in a limited sense. Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH) wanted to conduct systematic proving of the medicines to act as a template during patient management and therefore more powerful processing tools, to suit these investigations were required. This paper details about the requirement for this study and development of processing tools for assessment of therapeutic response by physiological variability. |
