- OUR HISTORY
25+ years of biocommunication.
ZYTO grew out of two decades of clinical practice and EAV research. From the original Interro device in 1985 to the platform thousands of practitioners use today — this is how we got here.
The two decades that led to ZYTO.
ZYTO didn’t arrive fully formed. The technology grew out of nearly twenty years of research, three earlier devices, and a single practitioner asking better questions of an aging tradition.
Cook organizes ZYTO and transfers his technology to the new company.
From the start, ZYTO was built by a practitioner. Cook continued to own and run the Utah Acupuncture Clinic and Meridian Health Center in Salt Lake City — clinical work that shaped every design decision behind the platform.
- Practitioner-led design. Every product decision passes through the lens of a working clinic.
- East meets West. Bridge meridian theory and modern measurement, not pick a side.
- Faster, better questions. Help practitioners and clients make better decisions, faster.
- Wellness, not diagnosis. Decision-support technology — never diagnostic.
