Claim 24:
25. A method of enabling a person to lose weight comprising:
providing an electrical dermal patch adapted to adhere to the person's skin, wherein said electrical dermal patch comprises a controller, at least one electrode adapted to be in electrical contact with said person's skin, a transceiver, and a pulse generator in electrical communication with the controller and said at least one electrode;
generating a first plurality of electrical pulses, wherein each of said first plurality of electrical pulses is defined by a first pulse amplitude and a first pulse frequency, wherein the first plurality of electrical pulses is applied for a first treatment session duration and at a first treatment session frequency, and wherein said first pulse amplitude and said first pulse frequency are selected to modulate the person's appetite;
acquiring glucose data indicative of a glucose level of the person over a period of time using an application installed on an external device;
generating a signal based upon said glucose data, using the application installed on the external device;
transmitting the signal to the electrical dermal patch, using the application installed on the external device, wherein the electrical dermal patch is configured to receive the signal wirelessly via the transceiver, and
generating a second plurality of electrical pulses using a plurality of stimulation parameters, wherein the plurality of stimulation parameters are determined based upon said signal and include at least one of a second pulse amplitude, a second pulse frequency, a second treatment session duration, or a second treatment session frequency, wherein the first pulse amplitude and second pulse amplitude range between 100 μA and 500 mA and the first pulse frequency and the second pulse frequency range between 1 Hz and 10,000 Hz.
