    摘要: Feedback systems and methods communicate implanted sensor-based feedback signals to promote behavior modifications that ameliorate obesity and other eating disorders. The system and methods described may also be applicable to any treatment in which presenting feedback regarding patients' eating and exercise habits is desired. The present invention provides a method and system for treating a patient by collecting ingestion and exercise information about the patient from an implanted sensor and communicating the collected information to the patient, his or her physician and/or other health care providers. In some embodiments, stimulation of the patient's stomach is also provided to reduce caloric intake. In some embodiments, the collected data is transmitted to a central server. Further embodiments may provide access to additional information in conjunction with the collected patient information, such as a calorie database, an exercise planner, and so forth, with the data optionally being used within a social networking system.

    摘要: Feedback systems and methods enhance obstructive and other obesity treatments by presenting feedback regarding patients' actual eating and/or exercise habits. 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 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.

    摘要: Methods, systems and devices for monitoring the health and energy expenditure of a living body, treating patients with an eating disorder or treating obese patients are described. The methods, systems and devices described may also be applicable to any treatment in which presenting feedback regarding patients' eating and exercise habits is desired. The present invention provides for treating a patient by collecting ingestion and exercise information about the patient from implanted sensors and communicating the collected information to the patient and/or to their health care provider(s). In some embodiments, stimulation of the patient's stomach is also provided to reduce caloric intake.

    摘要: An automatic, body-implantable medical device having at least two modes of operation is disclosed. The device is provided with circuitry for automatically detecting when the device has been implanted in a patient, so that the device can automatically switch from a first mode to a second mode of operation upon implantation. In one embodiment, the first mode is a power conserving mode in which one or more non-essential sub-systems of the device are disabled. Prior to detection of implant, at least two conditions of the device known to reflect whether the device has been implanted are monitored. After implant has been detected, situations in which power to the device is disrupted and then restored will cause the device to enter a predefined "power-on-reset" mode of operation. Prior to detection of implant, however, such conditions do not result in the device entering the power-on-reset mode, or this mode is reset. An Elective Replacement Indicator mode is also used which is based on measured impedance against a target battery impedance. When the measured battery impedance reaches the target level, the voltage of the battery that precipitates an ERI condition is modified.
