Abstract: An external gastric vibrational device for inducing satiety and supporting weight management comprises an external vibrational device configured to transmit intragastric soundwaves to stimulate a stomach non-invasively. The device features adjustable frequency and intensity settings and includes multi-layer acoustic insulation and vibration-dampening structures to minimize operational noise. A mobile device communicatively connected to the external vibrational device comprises an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven mobile application configured to determine optimal therapy timing based on physiological and behavioral data, prompt the user accordingly, continuously learn from user responses to adjust therapy parameters, track trends in weight and dietary habits to provide personalized feedback, and provide a virtual reality (VR) module to deliver calming or aversive virtual environments corresponding to user mood states to address emotional eating and support behavioral modification.
Abstract: A satiety enhancement system for adaptive control of gastric satiety therapy includes a gastric vibrational therapy device configured to deliver non-invasive mechanical stimulation to a gastric region of a user, a chewing detection sensor configured to monitor eating behavior of the user and generate chewing data indicative of a chewing cadence, a physiological monitoring device configured to acquire physiological data from the user, and a controller in communication with the gastric vibrational therapy device, the chewing detection sensor, and the physiological monitoring device. The controller is configured to receive the chewing data from the chewing detection sensor, receive the physiological data from the physiological monitoring device, determine a target chewing cadence based on the physiological data, calculate a deviation between the chewing cadence and the target chewing cadence, and modulate operational parameters of the gastric vibrational therapy device based on the calculated deviation.
Abstract: The present invention further discloses intragastric medical devices which may be implanted within a patient's body without surgery. The intragastric device can be controlled remotely with external devices using the forces of magnetic attraction and repulsion. The present disclosure is further directed towards a vibrating implant and an associated external vibrating magnet. The implant device is designed to offer a novel approach to vibration therapy and may be used to induce a feeling of satiety in a patient.
Abstract: A minimally invasive system and method for providing weight loss by inducing the feeling of satiety whereby reconditioning experiences are combined with an intragastric device that is inserted into the gastric lumen via the esophagus and an external magnetic device is used as needed to magnetically attract the intragastric device towards the inner wall of the stomach.
