Our Recommendations

Following are some of our recommendations for your consideration. You can check the comparison tables for a more detailed feature by features comparison.

Go for iMRSone 2.0 Omnium1 for the following unique advantages:

  • Need portability. In this aspect, we are talking about comparing a desktop computer and a laptop, which means a big difference, not just about accessibility to a power source. So even if you are considering to use the iMRS system at different location of your house, go for Omnium1. In addition, the Omnium1’s Full-body Mat comes with 6 sections fold, which makes it 1/2 the size of iMRS Prime Exagon Mat when folded. You can easily lug the entire Omnium1 system into a 24″ luggage for travelling.
  • Cost consideration. A similar configuration in Omnium1 is about 25%-30% cheaper (refer to table 4).
  • Simpler operation interface. This is always relative. When comparing to the old iMRS, Omnium1 seems to be more complicated. However, when comparing to the iMRS PRIME, the Omnium1 interface now looks much simpler to use. This also has to do with the abundance of new features available in iMRS PRIME.
  • Simpler hardware. Simpler hardware configuration meaning less point of failures.
  • There are some minor conveniences like the ability to update the latest software over the air, scheduled a session, install additional 3rd party android app is a plus, but not of critical importance in the decision making.
  • We do however, recommend you to get a 24 months extended warranty for the control panel.

Go for iMRS Prime for the following unique advantages:

  • Design and better material quality in almost every department. There are a lot of different design material elements in PRIME. We do suggest you take a look at the physical differences to feel the difference whenever possible.
  • Far Infrared Hybrid Mat. This likely is the most important consideration factor.
  • HRV Bio-feedback feature – Exagon SENSE. We believe the bio-feedback feature isn’t necessary solely for accessing Kubios HRV software or for dynamically adjusting intensity—it’s not as essential in practical application. While it’s a nice feature to have, you can alternatively use a third-party heart rate monitor like the Polar H10 (or check out other supported devices at https://www.kubios.com/supported-devices/) for Kubios HRV analysis. This can be a more practical approach, especially now that the Kubios HRV app is mobile-compatible, allowing for easy pairing with a compatible heart rate monitor via Bluetooth. Nonetheless, if you operate a wellness center or offer services, this feature could be beneficial by providing additional visual feedback for your patients, or by aiding in determining the suitable intensity settings for new users.
  • Trial Mode – especially if you are a biohacker, researcher, practitioners who wish to try out different parameters that are not available in the iMRS default programs (i.e. organ clock programs).
  • Split Mode operation. While the key selling point of Split Mode feature is helping you to save upfront capital investment if you need to invest in 2 systems for concurrent applications. However, this is not always true when comparing to the Omnium1 system. Look at what you actually need first and then work out a cost comparison. Of course, if your features required an Expert or higher model, then Split mode feature is given. For example, you can get another Omnium1 tablet and a converter at a cost of around USD 2,000, and you can also achieve a similar objective of Split mode, but with the additional advantage of physical location independence.
  • There are some other features like LED indicators for applicators, additional fast start programs, slightly more sophisticated user profiles program etc., in iMRS Prime, but we don’t think these should be the key factors in deciding between Omnium1 and Prime.
