III. Mind-Body Medicine and Physiological Regeneration:

Mind-Body Medicine and Therapy for Psychosomatic Disorders and Physiological Regeneration:

1. Mind-body Medicine and Therapy: Rejuvenation and boosting cognitive function, increasing graymatter density in the hippocampus, lowering blood pressure and boosting the immune system, reducing depression and easing stress.

2. Physiological Responses and Health Benefits: Triggering of neurohormonal mechanisms that bring about health benefits, as evidenced by increased parasympathetic and reduced sympathetic nerve activity and increased overall HRV, reducing stress and anxiety; Enhanced release of melatonin, which has anti-inflammatory, immune-stimulating, anti-oxidant and regeneration-enhancing properties.

3. Development of Non-volitional EEG Biofeedback System Therapy for treating neurological and psychiatric disorders.

IV. Hospital Healthcare Operations Management:

1. Management of Hospital Bed Capacity and Patient flow, Home Healthcare Policies and Value Chain, Cost-Effectiveness Modeling of Healthcare Delivery Systems;

2. Cost-effective Hospital Operation: Performance Index (PFI) and Cost-effective Index (CEI) for Hospital Departments;

3. Operations Research management of Budget distribution, such that none of the “n” departments has PFI below the acceptable value of PFIa and CEI below the acceptable value of CEIa; resulting in combining quality patient care with cost-effective hospital operations management.

V. Non-dimensional Physiological Indices in Medical Assessment and Hospital Performance:

1. New Concept of Non-dimensional Physiological Indices (NDPIs) or Physiological Numbers (PHYNs) for analyzing Physiological Systems and Medical Tests’ Data.
