Title:
FEEDBACK SYSTEMS TO ENHANCE OBSTRUCTIVE AND OTHER OBESITY TREATMENTS, OPTIONALLY USING MULTIPLE SENSORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/045030
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Feedback systems (900) enhance obstructive and other obesity treatments by presenting feedback regarding patients' actual eating. An ingestion restricting implant body can be deployed along the gastrointestinal tract. In some embodiments, ingestion alters the implant body, which, in turn, generates signals. The generated signals can be used to inhibit unhealthy ingestion by the patient. In other embodiments, the implant body can be altered by signals so as to selectable change the restriction imposed on the gastrointestinal tract, optionally in response to ingestion events, an eating schedule, or the like. The implant body may comprise a gastric band (902). Sensor (926) signals may be processed to identify ingestion and/or characterize ingestion material, and the results may be displayed on a screen for a patient or coach to view.
