Wetenschappelijke achtergrond Charged Multiscan.
How it works.
The Charged Multiscan is based on functional analysis and physiological data—not to be confused with bio-energetic scanning devices or bioresonance techniques. It is a computer-controlled medical system that visualizes collected data through scientifically validated technologies. These visualizations include images, diagrams, and customized graphics, offering valuable insights into your body's functionality and overall health. The results serve as a baseline reference for monitoring (initial measurement) and tracking progress over time (follow-up assessments).
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
HRV measures fluctuations in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats, expressed in milliseconds (ms). It is a key indicator of the flexibility and adaptability of the autonomic nervous system, reflecting the balance between:
The parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest), which slows the heart rate and allows for more variability (higher HRV).
The sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight), which accelerates the heart rate and reduces variability (lower HRV).
HRV is widely regarded as the most effective method for assessing autonomic nervous system balance, given its direct influence on heart activity and extensive scientific validation. However, HRV is highly individual, making comparisons between people difficult. Regular HRV measurements help establish personal trends over time.

Digital Volume Pulse Analysis (DVPA)
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive technique that measures blood volume changes using optical sensors. It is commonly used to assess heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, providing insights into cardiovascular health.
The shape of the pulse wave reveals arterial stiffness, vascular resistance, and overall cardiovascular function. The digital volume pulse (DVP), similar to the pressure pulse, reacts to changes in arterial tension and aging. By analyzing this pulse, we can evaluate arterial properties. The arterial pulse wave consists of two main components: a forward wave and a reflected wave. The speed of the reflected wave is crucial—stiffer arteries cause a faster return, impacting systolic blood pressure.

Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) / Electrodermal Activity (EDA)
GSR measures the electrical conductivity of the skin in response to external stimuli. It is a physiological marker controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system.
When a person experiences emotional arousal, anxiety, or stress, sympathetic nervous activity increases, leading to higher sweat production and changes in skin conductivity. The galvanic skin response (GSR) is a well-documented and scientifically validated measure of physiological arousal. The term Electrodermal Activity (EDA) is often used interchangeably.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
During a multi-segmental BIA measurement, weak electrical currents pass through the body. Different tissues—such as fat, muscle, bone, and water—present varying resistance levels. By measuring these resistances, BIA estimates body composition.
BIA results provide insights into: Body fat percentage, Muscle mass, Total body water, Other key health metrics.
BIA is widely used in healthcare and the fitness industry to assess and track an individual’s health and fitness levels.
