Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media for measuring and analyzing galvanic skin response. A system for measuring galvanic skin response includes an electrical conductivity meter (ECM) electrically connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode and a server platform in network communication with the ECM. The ECM includes at least one processor and at least one memory. The positive electrode is in contact with a point on a hand or a foot of a subject. A circuit is created between the ECM and the subject including the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The positive electrode includes a pressure sensor to indicate an amount of pressure applied by a tip of the positive electrode on the point. The server platform includes artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to detect variations in the pressure applied by the positive electrode during a session and/or across multiple sessions.

Claims (34)

1. A system for measuring galvanic skin response, comprising:

an electrical conductivity meter electrically connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode; and

wherein the electrical conductivity meter is configured to communicate with a platform including a processor and a memory;

wherein a circuit is created between the electrical conductivity meter and a point on a subject, wherein the circuit includes the positive electrode and the negative electrode;

wherein the electrical conductivity meter is configured to measure the galvanic skin response of the subject;

wherein the positive electrode includes a pressure sensor configured to indicate an amount of pressure applied by a tip of the positive electrode on the point of the subject; and

wherein the platform is configured to detect variations in the pressure applied by the tip of the positive electrode on the point of the subject during a single session of testing, across multiple sessions of testing with a single subject, or across multiple sessions of testing with multiple subjects.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode includes an accelerometer configured to measure a position of the positive electrode.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the platform utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to detect the variations in the pressure applied by the positive electrode during the single session, across the multiple sessions with the single subject, or across the multiple sessions with the multiple subjects.

4. The system of claim 1 , further including a hydration sensor to measure a level of hydration of the subject.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the platform is configured to generate at least one report.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to toggle between menu items, record testing data, display results, display recommended treatment plans, and/or display at least one report.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuit further includes at least one element in contact with a test plate of the electrical conductivity meter, wherein the at least one element is a food, a food component, a beverage, a supplement, a medication, a drug, an herb, a spice, a vitamin, a mineral, a gemstone, a metal, an electronic device, a bodily fluid, a tissue, and/or a hair sample.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the test plate includes a plurality of cylindrical holes drilled in to the test plate configured to hold an ampule or a vial of the at least one element.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein one or more of the at least one element is labeled with a bar code or a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the platform is configured to calculate a compatibility score for the at least one element and the subject.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the compatibility score indicates a degree of effectiveness, a degree of sensitivity, a degree of tolerance, and/or a tendency to toxicity.

12. A system for measuring galvanic skin response, comprising:

an electrical conductivity meter electrically connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode; and

at least one element in contact with a test plate of the electrical conductivity meter, wherein the at least one element is a food, a food component, a beverage, a supplement, a medication, a drug, an herb, a spice, a vitamin, a mineral, a gemstone, a metal, an electronic device, a bodily fluid, a tissue, and/or a hair sample;

wherein a circuit is created between the electrical conductivity meter, a point on a subject, and the at least one element in contact with the test plate, wherein the circuit includes the positive electrode and the negative electrode;

wherein the electrical conductivity meter is configured to measure the galvanic skin response of the subject; and

wherein a computing device is configured to calculate a compatibility score for the at least one element and the subject.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the compatibility score indicates a degree of effectiveness, a degree of sensitivity, a degree of tolerance, and/or a tendency to toxicity.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the positive electrode includes an accelerometer configured to measure a position of the positive electrode.

15. The system of claim 12 , further including a hydration sensor to measure a level of hydration of the subject.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the test plate includes a plurality of cylindrical holes drilled in to the test plate configured to hold an ampule or a vial of the at least one element.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein one or more of the at least one element is labeled with a bar code or a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag.

18. A system for measuring galvanic skin response, comprising:

an electrical conductivity meter electrically connected to a positive electrode and a negative electrode; and

at least one element in contact with a test plate of the electrical conductivity meter, wherein the at least one element is a food, a food component, a beverage, a supplement, a medication, a drug, an herb, a spice, a vitamin, a mineral, a gemstone, a metal, an electronic device, a bodily fluid, a tissue, and/or a hair sample;

wherein a circuit is created between the electrical conductivity meter, a point on a subject, and the at least one element in contact with the component, wherein the circuit includes the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and

wherein the electrical conductivity meter is configured to measure the galvanic skin response of the subject.

19. The system of claim 18 , further including a hydration sensor to measure a level of hydration of the subject.
