Join the EHS Global Census
Electromagnetic sensitivity affects millions. Most remain uncounted, unsupported, and misunderstood. The EHS Global Census is the first worldwide initiative built to change that, through a structured scientific protocol that turns individual experience into collective insight.
What is EHS?
Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) describes a condition in which individuals experience adverse health effects following exposure to artificial electromagnetic fields from sources such as Wi-Fi, mobile devices, power lines, and consumer electronics.
EHS is not classified as an illness. It is better understood as a functional impairment: the individual reacts to environments with elevated artificial EMF, often with significant impact on daily activities, work, and rest.
The EHS Global Census exists to give this condition scientific visibility. Not to alarm, but to count, understand, and ultimately support the people affected by it.
Common Reported Symptoms
Important: Symptoms vary significantly between individuals and overlap with other conditions. A positive survey score is informative, not diagnostic. Understanding results requires professional evaluation from a licensed EFEIA practitioner.
Project Goals
The EHS Global Census is designed to generate the data that currently doesn't exist and to build the scientific foundation for recognition, policy, and care.
Quantify Prevalence
Establish the first reliable global figures on how many people experience EHS and how severely.
Identify Patterns
Map common symptoms, habits, and health triggers across populations through specialized survey instruments.
Evaluate Demographics
Assess at-risk groups: workers in EMF-intensive environments, residents near high-exposure infrastructure, and other vulnerable populations.
Support Advocacy
Provide evidence for public policy changes, professional recognition, and accommodations for those affected by electromagnetic sensitivity.
Advance Science
Build the most comprehensive dataset on EHS ever assembled, enabling rigorous research on mechanisms, prevalence, and intervention.
A Two-Phase System That Starts with You
The EHS Global Census runs on the EFEIA Protocol: a scientifically grounded evaluation system that gathers information progressively, from open public participation to guided professional assessment.
A General Mapping — Open to Everyone
Three surveys, each generating a score that reflects your current exposure patterns and possible indicators of electromagnetic sensitivity. Free, anonymous, and takes a few minutes.
Your Phase 1 score is informative, not definitive. It is the beginning of a conversation, not a diagnosis. Understanding what your results mean and what to do next requires context, professional knowledge, and individual evaluation.
Only licensed EFEIA professionals are trained to work with your combined scores:
- Interpret combined scores with precision across all three instruments
- Compare self-reported symptoms with objective environmental risk factors
- Determine whether responses point to environmental, functional, or stress-based patterns
- Design a roadmap for technical, behavioral, or integrative action
Multiple Habits and Sensitivities
Explores your habits, lifestyle factors, and sensitivities that may be linked to EHS. Identifies patterns in exposure and symptoms.
25 Common Symptoms of Potential EHS
A widely recognized instrument for identifying potential EHS symptoms. Builds a clearer picture of the most common experiences worldwide.
Sleep Disorders
Focuses on the connection between sleep disturbances and electromagnetic exposure — a critical link in understanding health impacts.
Responses are anonymous and contribute to global mapping and research.
Reserved for Guided Professional Use
Phase 2 is available only under the care of a licensed EFEIA Coach or Practitioner. It includes one screening step and two advanced instruments not available to the public.
Phase 2 instruments are not publicly available because their interpretation involves complex analysis and ethical responsibility. Their role is not to diagnose but to differentiate: to clarify what a person's symptom pattern actually points to.
The four possible differentiations:
- Environmental sensitivity to artificial EMF
- Symbolic or stress-based reactions to perceived exposure
- Functional impairments requiring structured care
- A combination of the above factors
From this, a licensed professional can recommend specific interventions: EMF mitigation, sensory regulation strategies, coaching, or referral to specialist care.

Assesses additional contributing factors and determines whether Phase 2 advanced instruments are applicable for this individual.
D. Relationship with the Electromagnetic Environment
Explores how the individual perceives, anticipates, and emotionally relates to EMF exposure. Differentiates environmental from psychological response patterns.
E. Functional Impact Scale
Assesses how electromagnetic-related symptoms affect daily life, routines, and wellbeing. Used to determine intervention priority and track progress over time.
Visibility Is the First Step
EHS is often misunderstood, and those affected frequently struggle to find recognition, let alone support. The census addresses this at multiple levels simultaneously.
A Global Voice for People with EHS
Millions of people have reported similar symptoms with no shared framework for documenting them. The census provides that framework for the first time.
Key Demographic Data
Workers in EMF-intensive professions, people near high-exposure infrastructure, and other vulnerable groups remain undercounted. The census corrects that.
Informs Medical and Policy Decisions
Clinicians, researchers, and policymakers need population-level data before they can act. This census generates that data in a form they can use.
Contributes to Healthier Built Environments
Evidence from the census feeds directly into EFEIA's BEMCP certification and LEDNA design framework, turning data into standards that protect people in the spaces they inhabit.
Progress and Impact
Participants Worldwide
Individuals from more than 50 countries have contributed responses across Phase 1 instruments.
Countries Represented
The census has reached individuals on every populated continent, with active growth in Europe, Latin America, and North America.
Real Cases via GEMS Academy
The EFEIA Protocol has been validated through 390 real clinical cases administered by specialists trained through the GEMS Academy network.
The EHS Global Census is not just collecting stories. It is building a new global standard for how electromagnetic sensitivity is seen, evaluated, and responded to. The data generated here will inform clinical practice, public health policy, and architectural standards for years to come.
2025 EHS Global Census Report
The first EHSGC Report is now published. It compiles findings from all survey instruments, covering symptoms, demographics, and the environmental factors linked to EHS — the most comprehensive study of its kind at this scale.

The EFEIA Protocol doesn't ask clinicians or clients to choose between biology and belief, between symptom and stress. It gives structure to all of it.
If you work in health, sustainability, or wellness as a provider, coach, or consultant, the EFEIA Protocol offers a field-tested framework for evaluating electromagnetic sensitivity with method, respect, and clinical rigor.
Practitioners trained through GEMS Academy carry credentials that allow them to administer Phase 2 instruments and provide structured recommendations. The census is a continuous source of comparison data for their work.
