WHAT IT IS
A clinician-facing wellness instrument combining a somatic audit with remote photoplethysmography-based physiological observations.
USE AS ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
FOR THE PRESCRIBING CLINICIAN
AN ADDITIONAL LENS. NOT A DIAGNOSIS.
The NeuraGrip™ Polygraph is a clinician-facing wellness instrument designed to add structured autonomic context to a conversation you already own.
Wellness decision-support only. The Polygraph is not validated as a clinical instrument, does not produce a diagnosis and does not replace clinical assessment.

APPENDIX E · RECEIVING PROTOCOL
Four boundaries define the clinical relationship.
The page deliberately follows the clinician-facing protocol in You Are NeuraGripped rather than repackaging the consumer experience.
WHAT NGI TELLS YOU
A structured descriptive read of sustained autonomic-load markers across self-report, autonomic balance and recovery dynamics.
ORIENTATION, NOT DETERMINATION
WHAT TO CONSIDER
Whether autonomic state may be useful additional context alongside the established clinical differential and the patient's own longitudinal story.
A QUESTION TO CONSIDER
WHAT IT DOES NOT ASK
No therapy changes. No delayed escalation. No interpretation of NGI as a clinical finding. No requirement to endorse the framework.
THE CLINICAL DECISION REMAINS YOURS
READ THE NUMBER CORRECTLY
What an NGI can tell you. And what it cannot.
A useful wellness observation becomes unsafe when its limitations disappear. They remain visible here.
CAN SUPPORT A CONVERSATION ABOUT
Descriptive autonomic context
- Somatic vigilance reported by the patient
- Resting autonomic and recovery-related observations
- Pattern comparison across repeated wellness readings
- Responsiveness before and after a non-clinical Reset
- A patient's own reflection on their autonomic baseline
DOES NOT ESTABLISH
A clinical finding
- A diagnosis or disease state
- Causation
- Acute versus chronic stress as a clinical distinction
- Validated stratification against PSS, GAD-7 or other clinical scales
- How a medication will work for an individual patient
EVIDENCE POSITION
Separate what is established from what is being investigated.
The same evidence discipline used across the NeuraGrip Science Registry is applied to the clinical receiving page.
Underlying physiology
Autonomic regulation, heart-rate variability, respiratory physiology and remote PPG principles are grounded in established scientific literature. The Science library should expose those sources and their limits directly.
Open Science →MI.BO. dataset patterns
Patterns seen in MI.BO.'s observational data can provide research context. They are observations from the available dataset, not universal prevalence estimates and not proof of a single causal mechanism.
Review observations →The receiver hypothesis
The framework hypothesises that autonomic state may shape how physiological and pharmacological signals are integrated. In the book this is explicitly presented as a hypothesis that has not yet been tested in a prospective trial.
Research enquiries →WHEN A PATIENT BRINGS YOU A REPORT
Receive it as context. Keep the differential yours.
The clinical version should make it simple to see the observation, its provenance and its limits without asking you to adopt MI.BO.'s interpretation.

Three things should travel with every result.
A number without context creates false precision. The clinical report should carry its source, its intended use and its limits with it.
1
THE OBSERVATIONWhat was measured, calculated, inferred or self-reported.
2
THE CONTEXTTiming, source, comparison point and relevant trend.
3
THE LIMITWhat the result does not establish and where clinical assessment remains necessary.
CLINICAL VERSION
OPEN THE NEURAGRIP POLYGRAPH FOR CLINICIANS.
The clinical route should use the same underlying measurement architecture while presenting a clinician-appropriate result view, provenance, limitations and evidence links.
VALIDATION STATUS
Construct validity work is in progress.
The book explicitly states that the NGI is not a validated clinical score and should be received as patient self-report scaffolded by biometrics until validation work supports stronger claims.
