Abstract: This invention is a closed-loop system for human circulatory assistance comprising one or more wearable devices which collect data on a biometric parameter concerning a person's body in real time and one or more implanted circulatory assistance devices whose operation is adjusted in real time based on analysis of the data on the biometric parameter. This system can selectively improve blood circulation, either overall or to selected body regions, in order to prevent tissue degradation, promote wound healing, and maintain proper organ functioning.

Abstract: This invention is an expandable intragastric device for reducing food consumption and/or absorption. In an example, this device can be embodied in a plurality of longitudinal expandable members which are arranged in a colonnade configuration to form a restrictive food lumen within a stomach. Pumping a flowable substance between the interiors of these expandable members changes the rate of food flow through the stomach, the capacity of the stomach to hold food, and/or the amount of food absorbed by the body. This offers some of the beneficial effects of gastric sleeve surgery, while also being adjustable and reversible.

Abstract: This invention is a device to monitor caloric intake comprising: a wearable member that is worn in a manner similar to eyeglasses; and an EEG sensor, wherein indications that a person is probably eating are based on electromagnetic waves from the person's brain. In an example, this device can further comprise one or more automatic-imaging members that automatically take pictures when the person eats based on data from the EEG sensor.

Abstract: This invention is a wearable brain activity device with electrodes held on a person's head by a frame comprising a ring portion which encircles the person's head and an arc portion which loops over the top of the person's head. Data from the electrodes is used to analyze the person's brain activity within a frequency band of 0.5-4 Hz. The device includes a speaker or vibrating member which is used to help to guide the person's brain activity from a first pattern to a second pattern.

Abstract: This invention comprises wearable deformable electromagnetic energy pathways which enable ambulatory (camera-free) three-dimensional human body motion capture including trans joint pitch, yaw, and roll.
