Abstract

Background: Currently, for high-quality monitoring of the body, it is necessary to have many different devices with you and transmit their data to the doctor. It's expensive, complicated and ineffective. To solve this problem, we used the thermoalgometry method in the form of the Akabane test, which gives an integral assessment of the functional activity of the entire organism, including at the level of individual organs and systems, down to biochemistry. Methods: Using this method, we examined several thousand patients with various pathologies over 30 years. This allowed us to draw well-founded and practice-tested conclusions. As a focus group in this article to evaluate the test's performance compared to traditional diagnostic methods, test results were analyzed in more than 700 of our patients with diabetes. Results: Thermoalgometry data have a significant correlation with the main indicators of the body, including a number of biochemical indicators. At the same time, using the test profile, you can diagnose various diseases, and using the test indicators in the dynamics of observation, you can evaluate the biorhythms of individual organs to predict the condition for several days. A system has been developed for assessing the individual effect of drugs on various organs, their effectiveness and side effects, with determination of their optimal dose and time of administration. Conclusion: The thermoalgometry method opens up a new principle and source of obtaining medical information, based on the assessment of symmetry in the body under normal conditions and in various diseases.
