Title: Feedback systems and methods to enhance obstructive and other obesity treatments
Inventor: BRYNELSEN CHARLES R
IPC: G16H20/30
Filed: 2010-04-05
Abstract: Feedback systems and methods enhance obstructive and other obesity treatments by presenting feedback regarding pa-tients' actual eating and/or exercise habits. An ingestion restricting im-plant body can be deployed along the gastrointestinal tract. In some embodiments, ingestion alters the implant body, which, in turn, gener-ates signals. The generated signals can be used to inhibit unhealthy in-gestion 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 or an intragastric balloon. Sensor signals may be processed to identify ingestion and/or characterize ingestion of a solid or a liquid, and the results may be displayed on a screen for a patient or coach to view.
