Try your best to make the inscribed ellipse of each finger as close to the circle as
it is possible and position it in the center or upper part of the electrode (this is your
guarantee of correct finger positioning and further on – of more accurate analysis).
Try your best to make capture immediately after the client has put the finger on 25
the electrode (fingers become sweaty very fast without ventilation and the results will
be distorted).
Bio-Well 3.0 device has an in-built ventilator that is able to ventilate the area
around the finger. If the fingers are hot or sweaty, or the humidity is high in the place
where you work with your Bio-Well 3.0 device – turn the ventilator ON. You don’t need
to turn it OFF – it will be turned off automatically after 1 minute. Ventilator of BW 3.0
device can be turned ON before the start of any Scan – use “Fan ON” button in the top
right corner.
BW 2.0 also has an in-built ventilator, but it ventilates only the internal part of the
device in order to protect it from the excessive humidity in the environment and evade
condensation of water at the internal side of the glass electrode.
NB! Take into consideration that Bio-Well GDV Camera 1.0 is going to the stand-by
mode after 10 seconds since last capture. It will need about 5 seconds to react on your
click on the “Capture” button in order to return to the active mode. BW 2.0 & 3.0 do not
go to a stand-by mode and are always ready to capture.
If the fingers are very hot or sweaty, please clean (for example with napkin) each
finger right before capture and the electrode after each finger.

Bio-Well Company

Below you can see various examples of how same finger can be captured.

Pic. 22. 1 – finger is too high so the emission is being cut; 2 – finger is too low, reflection from
the walls & the nail can be seen.

26

Pic. 23. 3 – finger is skewed; 4 – nail is touching the electrode.

Pic. 24. 5 – too high pressure (inscribed ellipse is too big [depends on the size of the actual
finger]); 6 – finger is rotated (program can't correctly derive where is the top of the finger).

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
Pic. 25. 7 – too low pressure (inscribed ellipse is too small); 8 – external light at the bottom
that should be erased (to edit – click the pencil sign on the top right corner of the image or
simply double-click at any place on the image).

27

Pic. 26. 9 – finger is touching not with the tip, but with the whole phalanx;
10 – ideal position of the finger.

Try your best to have all fingers captured as №10 on the pic. 26.
The finger should be: in the center or the upper part of the image, inscribed ellipse
should be as close to the circular shape as possible and shouldn't be too big or too
small, there should be no traces of nail, no external light, blue line should point at the
top of the finger and deviate maximum 30 degrees from the vertical position and it
should cut the inscribed ellipse into two symmetric parts.
If you see any external light on the GI or you want to correct the position of the
blue line – double click on any place of the image or click the sign in the top right
corner of a GI. A new pop-up window will be displayed (pic. 27).

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
Pic. 27. Editing Glow Image window.

Here you can edit the image and delete the noise from it – click and hold left mouse
button and you will erase the part of the image under the mouse. By default, the size of 28
the brush is set to 24 pixels, but you can adjust it if needed on the top panel of the
window (selected size will be saved). You can Undo and Redo changes that you apply.
Also, you can select other color of the brush, but in regular work it is not needed. Please
remember that you need to click “Save” button in order to apply changes that you have
made, otherwise window can be closed, but the GI will stay the same.
If you need to edit the position of the blue line (from which all the sectors will be
derived) click “Edit ellipse” button in the top right corner. Design of the window will be
changed and you will see ellipse, blue line and 4 yellow dots for rotation of the ellipse
together with the blue line (see picture below).

Pic. 27.1. Editing ellipse of the image.

Bio-Well Company

In order to rotate the ellipse – hover the mouse upon one of the yellow dots, click
and hold the left mouse button, then move the mouse to the needed direction – ellipse
and the blue line will adjust accordingly.
If you want to undo the changes in the ellipse orientation – click “Reset ellipse”
button.
Conducting a “Full Scan”
Select a Card in which you want to make a “Full Scan” and click “Full Scan” button
in the right top corner of the main screen to create a new Scan. Special interface will be
displayed (pic. 28).
Place each finger one by one on the glass electrode and click green “Scan” button
in the top left corner or press spacebar on the computer keyboard. Then place next
finger and repeat the operation. Time interval between captures for BW 1.0 is 5
seconds and for BW 2.0 & 3.0 is 1 second. At the bottom of the screen you can add notes
about the Scan that you are making. It will be displayed in the Notes section (pic. 20)
when you select this Scan in your database.

29

Pic. 28. Interface for conducting “Full Scan”.

In order to get the reliable data on the Bio-Well device a specialist should control
the positioning of the fingers on the glass electrode. Only if you know that all fingers
were captured correctly you can really rely on the parameters calculated automatically
by the Bio-Well Software program. If Bio-Well server is not able to define the top of the
finger it will not show the blue horizontal line on the GI and red exclamation mark will
be displayed (see pic. 25). In such case you need either to recapture the finger or erase

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
the noise from the image. To recapture any image click on it and click “Scan” again –
image will be recaptured.
When you capture the last (10th) finger system will make an automatic check of
the captured GI. It will check fulfillment of 5 rules:
1. GI of the thumb should be equal or bigger than other fingers on one hand.
2. GI of the little finger should be equal or smaller than other fingers on one hand.
3. Index (Fore), middle and ring fingers should have almost equal size (20%
deviation is possible).
4. Same fingers on right and left hands should be almost equal (15% deviation is
accepted).
5. Blue line (showing the top of the finger) should deviate no more than 30° from
vertical position.
If one or several rules are not complied then a red-colored note will appear above
the Glow Images explaining what should be fixed and red exclamation marks will
appear in the corresponding fingers images windows. Please recapture these fingers
until you get green ticks for all 10 fingers.
If a person doesn’t have one finger – then you can capture same finger from the 30
opposite hand instead of it.
If you are using BW 3.0 and if the fingers are hot and sweaty or/and the air is very
humid and hot – turn on the ventilator by clicking “Fan” button in the top right corner.
It turns ON the fan for 61 seconds. If no new images are made – fan will turn off
automatically after expiration of 61 seconds.
Do not click “Analyze” button until you get all 10 fingers captured correctly. Once
you click it – images can no longer be edited.
It is highly recommended to keep the “Auto clean” function always
turned ON. It cleans the images from the external noise pixels automatically, but
sometimes when the noise pixels are too close to the glow of the finger – they are not
deleted automatically, so you need to erase them yourself manually.
Do not leave any external noise pixels on the images as they will spoil the
calculation of results!
For the users of old GDV camera models it is still possible to import images
captured not inside the Bio-Well software by clicking the button and specifying the
folder with needed BMP files.

“Full Scan” results

Select any “Full Scan” (marked with sign) from your database. Results of the
Scans that you select in the Scans list are automatically downloaded from the Bio-Well
Server. When you select multiple Scans at a time by using CTRL or SHIFT buttons on
your keyboard – results of all the selected Scans are going to be downloaded one-by-
one. “Full Scan” mode provides the most wide spectrum of parameters about human
functional (energetic) state from all other modes of capturing available.
As a result of the “Full Scan” you will get 12 tabs (subprograms) with various
representation of the calculated results. In case you didn’t enter DOB – then
“Biorhythms” tab will not be displayed and you will get only 11 tabs.

Energy Field tab
Presentation of front and side views of the Energy field is just a computer
modeling. Various sectors are grouped around the figure of the human body. Most of
them are placed in the part of the body where the actual organ is, but not all of them.

NB! Please note that sectors at the level of legs (of the human figure) are not
devoted to legs at all. Please point on them to see that they are connected with
cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems sectors, coronary vessels (pic. 30), etc.

Pointing the cursor to the various areas of an image enables sector-views of the
fingers as they correspond to different parts of the body – look at the bottom part of
the screen where the actual sector of the finger and glow parameters are represented.
Left-clicking on any sector will open a new window with the finger on which this sector
is present (pic. 31).

Area diagram tab


Area diagrams for the left and right hands (pic. 38) are derived from the ratio
between Area parameter value of a specific sector on the finger and calibration
cylinder sector of the same size multiplied on a special coefficient. If these values are
almost equal (0÷0.4 on the diagram) for all sectors – then it is optimal functional
condition (click “See optimal area diagram” button to see it (pic. 39)). Not all the organs
and systems are represented on this diagram. Actual ratio value for each sector is
represented in red colored numbers at the outer border of the diagrams.

Bio-Well Company

Pic. 38. Area diagram tab view.

Coloring grid is applied: yellow – higher than norm, green – norm, orange and pink 38
– lower than norm.
Same coloring grid is applied to the HS integral parameter that is represented at
the bottom of the screen for each hand.
Borders of green zone are different for different age groups:
- Below 20 years upper border is 1.3;
- From 20 to 60 years upper border is 1.0;
- More than 60 years upper border is 0.6.

Energy diagram tab
Energy diagrams for the left and right hands are based on the Energy parameter
value for specific sectors on the fingers (same set as on Area diagrams). Maximum
value for each sector is 10. Even if actual value of Energy parameter for any sector is
higher than 10 – on these diagrams it will be represented at the border (10*10-2
Joules).
Energy Reserve parameter (experimental) is represented at the bottom of the
diagrams in %.
Click “See optimal energy diagram” button to see the optimal diapason.
Energy diagrams are derived from Energy parameter while Area diagrams are
based on the ratio of the Area parameter, so the essential difference between them is
Intensity of the Glow. To see the relative assessment of the Intensity parameter

Grey-scale is the original image that is used for calculation of all the parameters
in the Bio-Well Software.
On the right side you can see the list of all parameters calculated for each GI of
finger and each sector.
Three parameters are related to the whole GI:
Image size – size of the whole image in pixels (always is equal to 370*285 px).
Ellipse dimensions – X and Y dimensions of the inscribed ellipse in pixels.
Inner circle radius – radius of the inscribed circle in pixels.
Other parameters are calculated for the whole GI and for sectors individually.
Area – number of pixels of the Glow Image.
Area ( C ) - ratio of Area of the finger glow to the Area of glow of calibration
cylinder (for sector or whole image).
Normalized Area - the ratio of GI Area to the area of the inner oval.
Intensity – average intensity of all the pixels from the GI.
Inner area – overall number of pixels in the inner oval.
Inner noise – number of noise (colored) pixels in the inner oval.

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
Inner noise (%) - ratio of inner noise and inner area in percents.
Energy – energy of Glow in *10-2 Joules.
Energy ( C ) - energy corrected to sector’s angular size.
Form Coefficient (FC) - is calculated according to the formula: FC = L2/S, where
L is the length of the GI external contour and S is the GI Area.
Entropy Coefficient (EC) - the ratio of outer contour to the inner contour lengths.
Inner contour length – length in pixels of the inner contour of the GI.
Inner contour radius - radius in pixels of the inner contour of the GI.
Outer contour length - length in pixels of the outer contour of the GI.
Outer contour radius - radius in pixels of the outer contour of the GI.

There is a possibility to see the technical data about the image: tabs “Spectrum”
and “Isoline”.
Click on “Spectrum” to see the distribution of pixels of various intensity in the GI.

Place metal cylinder insert on the Bio-Well glass electrode and connect an external
electrode wire with “banana” jack to it. Bio-Well Company produces three types of
external electrode: Bio-Well Glove, Sputnik Sensor and Water Sensor. For more detailed
information about working with these accessories visit the page https://www.bio-
well.com/gb/learn/learning.html.
This mode enables the measurement of dynamic processes (long-term). During
the first three minutes (time digits will be of red color), a baseline signal is recorded -
this data is excluded from analysis.
It is recommended that during the readings no other activity would be done at the
computer and computer would not switch to sleep mode till the completion of the
session.

If you point mouse cursor on any dot on the graph and click the right mouse button
– you will add a new label. You will be prompted to enter the name of the new label.
Once you have finished editing labels manually – click “Calculate” button to get the
statistical analysis of the 4 parameters for the periods between the labels that you have
added.
The Bio-Well Server will calculate parameters for all labeled intervals and
parametric / non-parametric statistical values. Every interval is compared with the
previous interval (pic. 77).

NB! For more correct statistical analysis please make sure that intervals that are
compared to each other contain same time period in them. In example, each interval is 5
minutes long – then they will contain equal number of images in them. Time volume of
the intervals depends on the kind of phenomenon under study.

In this report you can scroll through the pages with 4 different parameters 68
calculated for every interval specified. You can “Save as picture”, “Save as PDF”, “Save
as CSV” or print this report.

Pic. 77. Statistical analysis of the intervals between the labels in the “Environment” Scan.

Standard report consists of 4 pages: one page for each parameter – Area, Intensity,
Energy and Entropy.

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
There is one more parameter that Bio-Well Software is able to calculate for
intervals that are more than 360 GI long - Activity Level of Environment (ALE).
Remember that 360 GI can take minimum of 6 minutes and maximum 6 hours –
depending upon the interval you have set between GI. This is an experimental
parameter that is trying to analyze how auspicious is the space for a living being. This
parameter was developed for experiments with Sputnik sensor only. If at least one of
the intervals in your experiment is 360 GI long – then your report will have 5th page
with ALE parameter value.

Comparing Scans
Results of the Scans that you select in the Scans list are automatically downloaded
from the Bio-Well Server. Select multiple Scans at a time that you want to compare by
using “CTRL“ or “SHIFT” buttons on your keyboard – results of all the selected Scans
are going to be downloaded one-by-one. Once the download process is finished (you
can see it by the download completion percentage in a small circle near the Scan name)
you can click “Compare” button at the top of the Scans list column. All selected and
downloaded Scans will be sent for compare. You will see number in a red circle at the

Offline Mode
Scans can be made without Internet connection. Data will be saved on the 75
computer and processed when the Internet connection becomes available.
In Offline Mode it is necessary to add a Name, Date of birth (or date of the
experiment in case of making “Environment” Scan) and Gender (not needed for
“Environment” Scans) and select the mode of the Scan (pic. 85).
Please note that during Offline measurements there is no Internet connection to
the Bio-Well Server, so no processing of the obtained data is possible, calibration is not
possible too. This will lead to several nuances:
1. During “Full Scan”, “Stress Test” and “One Finger” Scans blue line (top of the
finger) will not appear, so you have to be much more precise in positioning of fingers
while doing these Scans in Offline mode.
2. During “Environment” experiments you will not see any plots in real time on
the screen and it will stay blank, as all the processing of images takes place on the Bio-
Well Server.
Offline Scans are saved as BDF files on the computer’s drive. When next logged in
online, an “Upload” button will appear; click it to send the data to the Bio-Well Server
to be processed.

Previous GDV Readings


During scanning process previously saved images may be opened with the Import
button . This allows users of other EPI/GDV instruments to use the Bio-Well
Software. A Card must first be created to be associated with the data to be imported.
Remember that your account is limited to 1 ChipID by default, so Bio-Well
Software will not allow you to use images taken by the devices with ChipIDs not
associated with your account.
If you want to import images from another device you have to increase the limit
of devices on your account by visiting your private cabinet on www.bwacc.com.

Calibration guidelines
As long as gas discharge depends on the condition of the gas — it is very important
to tune the device to the environmental conditions in which Scans are made. During
calibration Bio-Well Software and Bio-Well GDV Camera device are tuned to the
environmental conditions.
Calibration should be made in the following situations:
• You move to another room.
• Sun/moon eclipse.
• Change of weather conditions: 5% relative humidity, 5°C temperature,
etc.
• Magnetic storms.
• Changes in the environment conditions: a lot of people entered the
room, many electronic devices were switched on/off, windows were
opened/closed, usage of another computer with the Bio-Well GDV
Camera device, etc.
Even if you just open a window - chemical composition of the air can change
significantly – you will have to recalibrate the Bio-Well GDV Camera device to
maintain the reliability of the data obtained.
77

NB! To ensure reliable results in each Scan we recommend to recalibrate the


Bio-Well device every day before you start capturing process.

Calibration procedure for BW 1.0 model:


1. Connect the USB cable to the Bio-Well GDV Camera device and computer.
2. Put the Bio-Well GDV Camera device on the white stand as it is shown on the
pic. 85. If you have positioned it correctly – you should easily see the label with the
serial number on the bottom surface of the Bio-Well GDV Camera device.
3. Remove the finger insert by holding the unit firmly while gently pressing
downward and pulling outward (insert the thumb inside the insert and hold the insert
between the thumb and index finger, then pull out the finger insert).
4. Clean the glass electrode with a cloth (you may use alcohol).

NB! In dry conditions it is mandatory to clean the glass electrode with wet tissue to
get rid of the static charge, while in wet conditions it is mandatory to finish cleaning by
wiping with dry paper napkin to get rid of the excessive moisture.

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
5. Connect the grounding cable to the spring knob on the top of the calibration
insert (doing this after inserting the unit may damage the glass inside).
6. Insert the calibration metal cylinder insert by raising and holding back the
spring knob while carefully pushing the unit in until it clicks into place. Then, gently
lower the spring knob until it rests on the glass. Then, press it down vertically to make
it even.

NB! Do not let the spring lower quickly or abruptly, and be sure to not rotate the
knob without first raising it. Failure to follow these procedures may result in scratching
the glass, which is not covered by the warranty.

7. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the port («ground/earth»)
located at the rear of the Bio-Well GDV Camera device (pic. 86).

78

Pic. 86. Bio-Well GDV Camera device 1.0 on the calibration stand.

8. Click “Start button. For the new model of calibration tool (without sponge
inside) the white stand is not needed. Test image will appear (see on the right). It
should display a full ring. If the image is having noise inside or distorted, clean the glass
electrode and the cylinder with a cloth again and carefully check the position of the
spring knob to be sure the metal cylinder is resting evenly on the glass (raising before
adjusting).

NB! Each calibration cycle is equal to 20 captures with 5 seconds interval.

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
9. If calibration is successful after the first cycle — click «OK» in the pop-up
window — calibration is completed.
If parameters of the Glow are not in the normal region (established on the
Bio-Well server) — then server will send a command to the Bio-Well GDV Camera
device to change the voltage of the impulses accordingly, and restart the calibration
cycle again automatically after 30 seconds interval. During this interval please gently
take out the metal cylinder insert, ventilate the air above the glass electrode, wipe it
again and put the metal cylinder insert back.

NB! If you will not make all the above mentioned procedures within 30 seconds
interval between the cycles — program will show error message and you will have to
start next cycle manually by clicking «Start» button again.

Bio-Well Software will repeat the calibration cycle as many times as needed to
attain the normal parameters settings (Area and Intensity of the Glow).
Usually it takes up to 4 cycles in normal environmental conditions.
10. Once the process is finished — remove the metal cylinder insert and 79
connection cable from the Bio-Well GDV Camera device.

Calibration procedure for BW 2.0 model:

1. Connect the USB cable to the Bio-Well GDV Camera device and computer.
2. Remove the finger insert by holding the unit firmly while gently pressing
downward and pulling outward (insert the thumb inside the insert and hold the insert
between the thumb and index finger, then pull out the finger insert).
3. Clean the glass electrode with a cloth (you may use alcohol for cleansing the
glass).

NB! In dry conditions it is mandatory to clean the glass electrode with wet tissue to
get rid of the static charge, while in wet conditions it is mandatory to finish cleaning by
wiping with dry paper napkin to get rid of the excessive moisture.

4. Insert the calibration metal cylinder insert. Don’t worry, new model of
calibration tool can not damage the glass electrode.

Bio-Well Company
www.bio-well.com
5. Connect the grounding cable to the spring knob on the top of the calibration
insert.
6. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to the port («ground/earth»)
located at the rear of the Bio-Well GDV Camera device (pic. 87).

Pic. 87. Bio-Well GDV Camera 2.0 prepared for calibration. 80


7. Click “Start” button and wait for 20 seconds. Software will calibrate the device
automatically.
8. Click “OK” in the pop-up window. You will be automatically redirected to the
main screen of the Bio-Well software.

Calibration insert looks different for BW 3.0 – it doesn’t have any jacks. It doesn’t
need any wire. All the wiring is done inside the BW 3.0 device.
