FIELD: medicine; medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves taking measurements of electric skin resistance in representative points of twelve paired meridians. Constant test signal stabilized on electric current level is used for applying action. Test signal magnitude reaches 5 mcA. Patient state is evaluated from the measured parameter values deviations from calculated mean bandwidth in symmetric points. Device has active and indifferent electrodes, unit for recording measured parameter values and additional active electrode, unit for stabilizing test signal level and computer. Recording unit is connected to the computer. The electrodes are connected to test signal level stabilization unit. The active electrode is connected to the unit for recording measured parameter values. EFFECT: high accuracy of diagnosis. 3 cl, 1 dwg
