Organization and Business [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS	1	ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
	Organization. Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “NIMS”), began business as a medical diagnostic monitoring company to develop computer-aided continuous monitoring devices to detect abnormal respiratory and cardiac events using sensors on the human body’s surface. It has ceased to operate in this market and has licensed the rights to its technology. The Company continues to work on developing and marketing its Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms based upon unique, patented whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) technology. The Exer-Rest line of acceleration therapeutic platforms currently includes the Exer-Rest AT, AT3800 and AT4700 models.
	Business. The Company is developing and marketing its Exer-Rest® line of acceleration therapeutic platforms based upon unique, patented whole body periodic acceleration (“WBPA”) technology. The Exer-Rest line of acceleration therapeutic platforms currently includes the Exer-Rest AT, AT3800 and AT4700 models.
	The Company received revenue from royalties on sales of diagnostic monitoring hardware and software by SensorMedics and from VivoMetrics in prior years. SensorMedics indicated they will discontinue licensed product sales after current inventory is depleted and, therefore, the royalty revenue from SensorMedics is expected to be minimal to none. VivoMetrics ceased operations in July 2009 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2009. Pursuant to VivoMetrics’ approved bankruptcy plan of reorganization, our license with VivoMetrics was assigned to another company; however, there can be no assurance as to the future amount of royalty revenue, if any, that we may derive from this license or from our existing license with SensorMedics. In fiscal year 2009, NIMS began commercial sales of its third generation Exer-Rest therapeutic platforms.
	During the calendar years 2005 to 2007, the Company designed, developed and manufactured the first Exer-Rest platform (now the Exer-Rest AT), a second generation acceleration therapeutics platform, and updated its operations to promote the Exer-Rest AT overseas as an aid to improve circulation and joint mobility and to relieve minor aches and pains.
	The Company has developed a third generation of Exer-Rest acceleration therapeutic platforms (designated the Exer-Rest AT3800 and the Exer-Rest AT4700) that has been manufactured by Sing Lin Technologies Co. Ltd. (“Sing Lin”) based in Taichung, Taiwan (see Note 10).
	The Company’s financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses of approximately $222,000 and $224,000 for the six month periods ending January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and has experienced cash outflows from operating activities. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $24.5 million as of January 31, 2015, and has potential purchase obligations at January 31, 2015 (see note 10). The Company had $1,000 of cash at January 31, 2015 and negative working capital of approximately $1,808,000. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
	The Company is continuing its business activities without any significant revenues from product sales. Absent any significant revenues from product sales, the Company is seeking debt or equity financing or a strategic collaboration. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard, and, if not successful, that it will be able to continue its business activities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	6 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Consolidation.The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems of Florida, Inc., which has no current operations, and NIMS of Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, which has no current operations. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, such as accounts receivable, warranty accrual, deferred taxes, and the input variables for stock based compensation as estimates, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $1,000 and $21,000, on deposit in bank operating accounts at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively.
	Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Royalties and other receivables are recorded at the stated amount of the transactions. The Company provides an allowance for royalties and other receivables it believes it may not collect in full. Receivables are written off when they are deemed to be uncollectible and all collection attempts have ceased. The amount of bad debt recorded each period and the resulting adequacy of the allowance at the end of each period are determined using a combination of the Company’s historical loss experience, customer-by-customer analysis of the Company’s accounts receivable each period and subjective assessments of the Company’s future bad debt exposure.
	Inventories. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method, and are evaluated at least annually for impairment. Inventories at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 primarily consist of finished Exer-Rest units and accessories. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory are made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, historical obsolescence and future sales forecasts.
	Tooling and Equipment. These assets are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives.
	Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.
	Taxes Assessed on Revenue-Producing Transactions. The Company presents sales taxes assessed on revenue-producing transactions between a seller and customer using the net presentation; thus, sales and cost of revenues are not affected by such taxes.
	Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards and other potential future tax benefits has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized. The utilization of the loss carryforward is limited to future taxable earnings of the Company and may be subject to severe limitations if the Company undergoes an ownership change pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Tax years ranging from 2011 to 2014 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired. It is the Company’s policy to include income tax interest and penalty expense in its tax provision.
	Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the goods are shipped and title has transferred, the price is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes royalties as they are earned, based on reports from licensees. Research and consulting revenue and revenue from sales of extended warranties on therapeutic platforms are recognized over the term of the respective agreements.
	Advertising Costs.   The Company expenses all costs of advertising and promotions as incurred.  There were no advertising and promotional costs incurred for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.
	Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and primarily consist of payments to third parties for research and development of the Exer-Rest device and regulatory testing and other costs to obtain FDA approval.
	Warranties. The Company’s warranties are two years on all Exer-Rest products sold domestically and one year for products sold outside of the U.S. and are accrued based on management’s estimates and the history of warranty costs incurred. There were no material warranty costs incurred during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, and management estimates that the Company’s accrued warranty expense at January 31, 2015 will be sufficient to offset claims made for units under warranty.
	Stock-based compensation. The Company recognizes all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, as operating costs and expenses, based on their grant date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting life of the underlying stock options and is included in selling, general and administrative costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated comprehensive statements of operations for all periods presented.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, royalties and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values because they are short term in nature or they bear current market interest rates. As of January 31, 2015, the respective carrying value of the notes payable – related party and notes payable – other approximate our current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity and are considered Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
	Foreign Currency Translation.  The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiary is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date while income and expense amounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit and other comprehensive loss.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including foreign currency translations.
	Loss Contingencies. We recognize contingent losses that are both probable and estimable. In this context, we define probability as circumstances under which events are likely to occur. In regards to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements.   In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update which affects the revenue recognition of entities that enter into either (1) certain contracts to transfer goods or services to customers or (2) certain contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The update indicates an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred by the entity. The update is to be applied to the beginning of the year of implementation or retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and in interim periods in that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statement

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	4	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company measures the cost of employee, officer and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed over the vesting life of the underlying stock options using the graded vesting method, with each tranche of vesting options valued separately. The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $0, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and $2,000 and $3,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014. All stock-based compensation is included in the Company’s selling, general and administrative costs and expenses.
	The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”), as amended, provides for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The 2000 Plan allows the issuance of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards. The exercise price of the options is determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, but incentive stock options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the grant date or an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair value for a 10% shareholder. Options expire up to ten years from the date of the grant and are exercisable according to the terms of the individual option agreements. The 2000 Plan expired on March 1, 2012. No additional grants may be made under the 2000 Plan; however, previously granted options will remain in force pursuant to the terms of the individual grants.
	In November 2010, the Company’s Board and Compensation Committee approved the Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Awards granted under the 2011 Plan may consist of incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (SAR), restricted stock grants, restricted stock units (RSU), performance shares, performance units or cash awards. Subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, the 2011 Plan authorizes up to 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan. The 2011 Plan was approved by our shareholders in March 2012 and no awards have been granted under the 2011 Plan as of January 31, 2015.
	The Company did not grant any stock options during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.
	A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended January 31, 2015 is as follows:

ROYALTIES	5	ROYALTIES
	The Company is a party to two licensing agreements with SensorMedics and VivoMetrics. The Company receives royalty income from the sale of its diagnostic monitoring hardware and software from SensorMedics and previously received royalties from VivoMetrics prior to its bankruptcy. Royalty income from the SensorMedics license amounted to $0 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015, and $0 and $1,000 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014. There were no royalties recognized from VivoMetrics for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014. VivoMetrics ceased operations in July 2009 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2009. Under VivoMetrics’ proposed bankruptcy plan of reorganization, our license with VivoMetrics was assigned to another company; however, there can be no assurance as to the future amount of royalty income, if any, that may result from this license.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share [Abstract]
BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE	8	BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE
	Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of preferred stock. In computing diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, no dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares because the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the conversion of preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.
	Potential common shares not included in calculating diluted net loss per share are as follows:
			January 31, 2015		January 31, 2014
	Stock options			378,750		538,750
	Series C Preferred Stock			1,551,200		1,551,200

	Product Development and Supply Agreement.
	On September 4, 2007, the Company entered into a Product Development and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sing Lin Technologies Co. Ltd., a company based in Taichung, Taiwan ("Sing Lin"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company consigned to Sing Lin the development and design of the next generation Exer-Rest and related devices. The Agreement commenced as of September 3, 2007 and had a term that extended three years from the acceptance by NIMS of the first run of production units. Thereafter, the Agreement automatically renewed for successive one year terms unless either party sent the other a notice of non-renewal. Either party was permitted to terminate the Agreement with ninety days prior written notice. Upon termination, each party’s obligations under the Agreement were to be limited to obligations related to confirm orders placed prior to the termination date.
	Pursuant to the Agreement, Sing Lin designed, developed and manufactured the tooling required to manufacture the acceleration therapeutic platforms for a total cost to the Company of $471,000. Sing Lin utilized the tooling in the performance of its production obligations under the Agreement. The Company paid Sing Lin $150,000 of the tooling cost upon execution of the Agreement and $150,000 upon the Company’s approval of the product prototype concepts and designs. The balance of the final tooling cost became due and payable in September 2008 upon acceptance of the first units produced using the tooling, and was paid in full during the year ended July 31, 2009.
	Under the now-terminated Agreement, the Company also granted Sing Lin the exclusive distribution rights for the products in certain countries in the Far East, including Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and certain other countries. Sing Lin agreed not to sell the Products outside its geographic areas in the Far East.
	The Agreement provided for the Company to purchase approximately $2.6 million of Exer-Rest units within one year of the September 2008 acceptance of the final product. The Agreement further provided for the Company to purchase $4.1 million and $8.8 million of Exer-Rest products in the second and third years following such acceptance, respectively. These minimum purchase amounts were based upon 2007 product costs multiplied by volume commitments. Through January 31, 2015, the Company had paid Sing Lin $1.7 million in connection with orders placed through that date. As of January 31, 2015, the Company has approximately $41,000 of payables due to Sing Lin. As of January 31, 2015, aggregate minimum future purchases under the Agreement totaled approximately $13.9 million.
	As of January 31, 2015, the Company had not placed orders sufficient to meet the first-year or second-year minimum purchase obligations under the Agreement. The Company notified Sing Lin in June 2010 that it was terminating the Agreement effective September 2010, and Sing Lin in July 2010 demanded that the Company place orders sufficient to fulfill the three year minimum purchase obligations in the Agreement. As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements Sing Lin has not followed up on its July 2010 demand. There can be no assurance that Sing Lin will not attempt to enforce its remedies under the Agreement, or pursue other potential remedies.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation	Consolidation.The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems of Florida, Inc., which has no current operations, and NIMS of Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, which has no current operations. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions, such as accounts receivable, warranty accrual, deferred taxes, and the input variables for stock based compensation as estimates, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $1,000 and $21,000, on deposit in bank operating accounts at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts	Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. Royalties and other receivables are recorded at the stated amount of the transactions. The Company provides an allowance for royalties and other receivables it believes it may not collect in full. Receivables are written off when they are deemed to be uncollectible and all collection attempts have ceased. The amount of bad debt recorded each period and the resulting adequacy of the allowance at the end of each period are determined using a combination of the Company’s historical loss experience, customer-by-customer analysis of the Company’s accounts receivable each period and subjective assessments of the Company’s future bad debt exposure.
Inventories	Inventories. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method, and are evaluated at least annually for impairment. Inventories at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 primarily consist of finished Exer-Rest units and accessories. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory are made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels, historical obsolescence and future sales forecasts.
Tooling and Equipment	Tooling and Equipment. These assets are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives.
Long-lived Assets	Long-lived Assets. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.
Taxes Assessed On Revenue-Producing Transactions	Taxes Assessed on Revenue-Producing Transactions. The Company presents sales taxes assessed on revenue-producing transactions between a seller and customer using the net presentation; thus, sales and cost of revenues are not affected by such taxes.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes. The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability based approach. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The deferred tax asset for loss carryforwards and other potential future tax benefits has been fully offset by a valuation allowance since it is uncertain whether any future benefit will be realized. The utilization of the loss carryforward is limited to future taxable earnings of the Company and may be subject to severe limitations if the Company undergoes an ownership change pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Tax years ranging from 2011 to 2014 remain open to examination by various taxing jurisdictions as the statute of limitations has not expired. It is the Company’s policy to include income tax interest and penalty expense in its tax provision.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the goods are shipped and title has transferred, the price is fixed or determinable, and the collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes royalties as they are earned, based on reports from licensees. Research and consulting revenue and revenue from sales of extended warranties on therapeutic platforms are recognized over the term of the respective agreements.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs.   The Company expenses all costs of advertising and promotions as incurred.  There were no advertising and promotional costs incurred for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and primarily consist of payments to third parties for research and development of the Exer-Rest device and regulatory testing and other costs to obtain FDA approval.
Warranties	Warranties. The Company’s warranties are two years on all Exer-Rest products sold domestically and one year for products sold outside of the U.S. and are accrued based on management’s estimates and the history of warranty costs incurred. There were no material warranty costs incurred during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, and management estimates that the Company’s accrued warranty expense at January 31, 2015 will be sufficient to offset claims made for units under warranty.
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation. The Company recognizes all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, as operating costs and expenses, based on their grant date fair values. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting life of the underlying stock options and is included in selling, general and administrative costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated comprehensive statements of operations for all periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, royalties and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values because they are short term in nature or they bear current market interest rates. As of January 31, 2015, the respective carrying value of the notes payable – related party and notes payable – other approximate our current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity and are considered Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation.  The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiary is the local currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date while income and expense amounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit and other comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, including foreign currency translations.
Loss Contingencies	Loss Contingencies. We recognize contingent losses that are both probable and estimable. In this context, we define probability as circumstances under which events are likely to occur. In regards to legal costs, we record such costs as incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements.   In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update which affects the revenue recognition of entities that enter into either (1) certain contracts to transfer goods or services to customers or (2) certain contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The update indicates an entity should recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred by the entity. The update is to be applied to the beginning of the year of implementation or retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and in interim periods in that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statement
