Question 1

What is the Neuro-Physiology Scan™ (NPS)?

Accepted Answer

A non-invasive assessment that records the pulse optically at the fingertip for ten minutes and analyses it on Holistica's secured cloud. The 18-page report covers autonomic nervous system balance, HRV analytics, estimated brain rhythm, cellular health with an iodine status indicator, Ayurvedic mapping and a bioenergy map.

Question 2

How is the scan performed?

Accepted Answer

The client sits comfortably and rests for a few minutes. A fingertip is placed on the scanner and the pulse is recorded for ten minutes while the client breathes normally and does not talk. The report is ready within minutes of upload.

Question 3

Is it safe? Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

It is completely painless. The scanner uses low-intensity light, the same principle as a pulse oximeter. There are no needles, electrodes, radiation or electrical stimulation, and no consumables per scan.

Question 4

How should a client prepare?

Accepted Answer

Avoid caffeine, nicotine and strenuous exercise for two hours before the scan, avoid a heavy meal in the hour before, and remove nail polish from the scanned finger. Morning scans at a consistent time give the most comparable results over repeat visits.

Question 5

How often should someone be scanned?

Accepted Answer

A baseline scan, then every 4 to 8 weeks during an active program, or before and after a specific intervention such as a retreat, a detox, a training block or a course of therapy.

Question 6

When are results less reliable?

Accepted Answer

With frequent irregular heartbeats such as atrial fibrillation, with pacemakers, with medicines that strongly affect heart rhythm such as beta blockers, with very cold hands or poor circulation, and in children. The operator records these factors and the report flags them.

Question 7

Is pulse rate variability as accurate as ECG-based HRV?

Accepted Answer

At rest, seated, pulse rate variability agrees closely with ECG HRV for most time and frequency domain measures. Agreement falls during movement or standing, which is why the protocol is seated and still, and why every report shows a quality grade.

Question 8

Does NPS measure brain waves like an EEG?

Accepted Answer

No. Brain rhythm analysis is an estimate based on the known coupling between brain arousal and autonomic control. It is useful for screening and tracking change. It does not replace EEG for clinical neurological questions.

Question 9

Can a pulse scan really give an iodine profile?

Accepted Answer

It gives an iodine status indicator, not a tissue measurement. The model looks for the cardiovascular and autonomic pattern associated with thyroid-driven metabolic pace and combines it with intake questions. If the indicator is low or high, the report recommends urinary iodine, TSH and free T4 testing before any supplementation.

Question 10

Why is the LF/HF ratio not read on its own?

Accepted Answer

Research since 2013 has shown that LF power contains both sympathetic and vagal activity and is affected by breathing rate. NPS still reports the ratio but interprets it with RMSSD, Stress Index, heart rate and respiratory rate so it is not misread.

Question 11

What is the scientific status of the Ayurvedic and bioenergy layers?

Accepted Answer

They are interpretive frameworks from Ayurvedic and yogic tradition, mapped onto measured signals. They are labelled as interpretive in every report and are intended for practitioner dialogue and lifestyle guidance, not diagnosis.

Question 12

How is NPS different from optical mineral scanners?

Accepted Answer

Optical mineral scanners read light absorption in palm skin to estimate minerals and metals. NPS reads the timing and shape of the pulse to assess nervous system regulation. They answer different questions and are often used side by side.

Question 13

Is NPS a medical device? Can it diagnose disease?

Accepted Answer

NPS is positioned as a wellness and physiological assessment tool. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any disease. Findings should be interpreted by a qualified practitioner and confirmed with standard clinical tests where indicated.

Question 14

What does a clinic receive with the device?

Accepted Answer

The device, cloud software and automated reports, operator training, patient education material, a six-month clinical integration program with monthly physician consultation and case reviews, and 12 months of technical support and updates.

Question 15

Is there a per-report fee?

Accepted Answer

Reporting is included under the operational licence. Any change to licence terms is set out in your partnership agreement before purchase.

Question 16

Where is patient data stored and who can see it?

Accepted Answer

Signal data and reports are stored encrypted on Holistica's cloud, with identity held separately. Only authorised practitioners at your clinic can view your patients' reports. Data handling follows India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.

Question 17

How are affiliate commissions paid?

Accepted Answer

Once a clinic you referred has completed payment and the device is installed, commission is paid by bank transfer within 30 days, subject to applicable tax rules.

Question 18

Can I become a distributor outside India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The State & Master Distributor tier covers a full state, multiple states or a country, including the UAE, US and Canada, with support on local registration, labelling and wellness-appropriate claims outside India. Its commitment is 100 devices per quarter. Proposed structure. Final terms are confirmed in your signed agreement.

Question 19

What are the distributor tiers and commitments?

Accepted Answer

Authorised Reseller is non-exclusive, with a commitment of 10 devices per quarter. Territorial Distributor has an exclusive territory, with a commitment of 25 devices per quarter. State & Master Distributor covers a state or larger, with a commitment of 100 devices per quarter. Exclusivity is held while the quarterly commitment is met. Commitments are reviewed every quarter. Proposed structure. Final terms are confirmed in your signed agreement.
