Dr Sofra worked with Gerald Pollock, the co-inventor of the first pacemaker, to further develop Dr Pollock's London University invention, the Ion Magnum, which started in 1975 and was completed in 2008 based on his combined research with D. Gilbert, a molecular biology London University professor after around 33 years of empirical research. The technology features a proprietary formula that synthesizes signals that reach the brain because of their compatibility with the Central Nervous System (CNS) The brain reacts as it would during regular strenuous exercise mode, by 1/ ordering a full body contraction, and 2/ by releasing hormones that boost metabolism, suppress hunger, increase muscle mass and testosterone while detoxing.  The device generates the complex sensations of a multi-exercise regimen, that includes fast-paced or slow/resistance physical training, horse riding and belly dancing.

 An examination of 56 clinical studies and 3 books on the Virtual Gym, found the following values which were adjusted to be within the normal range and statistically significant on all combined samples examined of a total of 147 patients. ​
