Prevention creates safety and quickly leads to well-being! Today, the buzz in the healthcare market is all about ‘Prevention is better than cure’! Growing awareness about preventive and personal healthcare in urban as well as rural Indian population has created lots of business opportunities for medical service providers (diagnostic centres, pathology labs, hospitals, medical care centres, doctors, dispensaries, nursing homes etc) and healthcare entrepreneurs in India. If one can detect or diagnose patient’s clinical/medical conditions at an early stage of disease, one can prevent years of prolonged medication and agony.
3 CUBE Biomed Services introduces WEGACHECK in Indian healthcare and medical devices market as a frontline diagnostic tool for doctors. WEGACHECK is a clever and helpful device that provides important diagnostic information and decisive tips for doctors in arriving at diagnosis and deciding on the best therapies. WEGACHECK is an additional diagnostic tool about health issues that not always can be detected by traditional examinations such as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography or blood tests: Inflammatory foci, chronic and hidden disease as well as allergies and functional disturbances can be traced by WEGACHECK – Check Medical Device. WEGACHECK is the ideal frontline diagnostic tool for evaluating a patients overall health and fitness. WEGACHECK is CE0494 certified as a diagnostic device for complimentary medicine and ISO 13485:2003 certified diagnostic medical device manufactured by Wegamed, Germany.
WEGACHECK Recording Method
The two fundamental concepts supporting the WEGACHECK technique are Functional Medicine and Pischinger’s basal System. WEGACHECK utilises bio-impedance mechanism during the measurement. It applies an electrical stimulus with pulsed measurement organs. In a measurement, WEGACHECK points out all the reaction organs that have something to do with the disease. The WEGACHECK recording is thus a snapshot, directing one’s attention to the organs that currently need attention.
Advantages of WEGACHECK
There are lot of cases which go undiagnosed with traditional devices as most of devices are not based on or do not look at patient holistically. This device could be well utilised as a diagnostic tool to correlate patient’s actual clinical/medical condition with his/ her physical, mental symptoms.
Skin is the organism’s interface to outside world. The way that the skin and the matrix with which it is connected, react to external stimuli reflects the organism’s condition. WEGACHECK measures skin resistance e.g. fungal hat in regulatory behaviour graph – it can easily diagnose mycotic burden at an early stage with following type of graph and physicians or individuals can take necessary step to prevent it from being developed into fungal infection.
Introduction to WEGACHECK Pilot Study
3CUBE decided to conduct pilot research study in Kolhapur, Maharashtra during the period November 26, 2012 to December 20, 2012 at two clinics of Dr Subhash Kumbhar and Dr Sandip Nejdar.
Purpose of pilot research study
- To check the utilisation of WEGACHECK medical device in medical practice for diagnoses.
- How useful is this device in detecting disease in its early stages?
Here are some classic cases which 3 CUBE found during their research study on patients –
A 30-year old male patient named Pravin Patil (name changed for confidentiality purposes), took a WEGACHECK test on November 28, 2012 at Dr Subhash Kumbhar’s clinic. Before conducting the test, patient had not given history regarding his complaint about occasional joint pains as he thought it’s not a major issue. But Patil is known to have a case of Psoriasis and is undergoing treatment for the same. After conducting test, his graphs are as follows:
Report interpretations
Type of graph is hormonal – neural and rheumatic.
This clearly indicates signs of joint pains and arthritic changes in patient which is not diagnosed yet.
Also the patient had nervous stress which is a result of fluctuations in the hormonal system and this is indicated by hormonal-neural graph.
Patient’s acid-base balance showed chronic acidity at around 50 per cent which is a cause of concern in rheumatic conditions. It could lead to acidosis.
Now from this particular test report, Dr Subhash Kumbhar could easily diagnose the changes in patient at physical as well as mental level. E.g. Case under consideration suggests undiagnosed arthritic changes and patient is suffering from psoriasis. That means Dr Subhash Kumbhar could conclude that the patients medical condition was tending towards psoriatic arthritis changes which is one type of arthritis. Now, Dr Subhash Kumbhar could start treatment at an early stage for psoriatic arthritis. Also he could work on patient’s chronic hyper-acidity to regulate it which may be the cause for leading the patient’s condition to psoriatic arthritis. Also if necessary, Dr Subhash Kumbhar can suggest the patient to do RA factor test for rheumatoid arthritis.
A 38-year old female patient named Kirti Mohite (name changed for confidentiality purposes), had taken a WEGACHECK test on November 28, 2012 at Dr Subhash Kumbhar’s clinic. Patient was complaining of hysterical symptoms with nervous mental state. After conducting a test, her graphs were as follows:
Report interpretations Type of graph is Hormonal – Neural and Rheumatic
Patient had nervous stress which is the result of fluctuations in the hormonal system, and this is indicated by hormonal-neural graph
This clearly indicates signs of joint pain and arthritic changes in patient which is not diagnosed yet
Patient’s acid base balance is showing chronic acidity around 54 per cent which is a cause of concern in rheumatic conditions. It could lead to acidosis
Patient had not given history of one odd occurrence of convulsive attack in recent past as it was the first time she had convulsion complaints
Now, from this particular test report and patients actual condition, Dr Subhash Kumbhar could easily diagnose the changes in patient at the psychosomatic level which were causing physical problems to patient. After taking the history of the patient, Dr Subhash Kumbhar came to know that she had a convulsion attack in the recent past and graphs confirmed it. There was too low energy in the head region. So, Dr Subhash Kumbhar suggested the patient to do a CT scan for further confirmation before starting the treatment. The patient’s graph showed rheumatic changes in the gonads region with left kidney in the pre-clinical condition. That means Dr Subhash Kumbhar was in a position to suggest the patient to do RA factor test for rheumatoid arthritis to confirm the above findings thereby having a more targetted approach to specialised tests and treatments.
Testimonials
Dr Subhash Kumbhar says that WEGACHECK measurement supplements orthodox examination methods and procedures – especially if one takes a holistic view of the patient that transcends the somatic level. In the recent future, it could prove itself as a frontline diagnostic tool which will help medical service providers to take a look at a patient with a holistic view in mind.
Conclusion
The purpose for which this pilot research study has been conducted was successful. Medical practitioners can utilise WEGACHECK in early detection of diseases and also patient could get more benefits as always prevention is better than cure. Summing up, one can say that WEGACHECK believes in a holistic approach towards individuals clinical/medical problems by focusing on researching the causes of any illnesses. Wegacheck adds a new dimension to diagnostic references and acts as a guide to doctors. It can open the door to a more targeted and personalised approach to treating patients. The device is manufactured in Germany and distributed in India by 3 Cube Bio-Med Services.
