    摘要: A method of using a vibrating gastrointestinal capsule in coordination with an ingestible medicament for treatment of an ailment of the GI tract. The vibrating gastrointestinal capsule, is provided to the subject, and includes: a housing; a vibrating agitation mechanism causing the housing to exert vibrations on an environment thereof; a power supply for powering said vibrating agitation mechanism; and a control mechanism for activating said vibrating agitation mechanism to operate in said vibration mode of operation. The subject ingests the ingestible medicament and the vibrating gastrointestinal capsule. At least one of a time of ingesting of the vibrating gastrointestinal capsule and a timing or activation delay of the vibration mode of operation is controlled, such that the vibration mode of operation at least partially transpires or completely transpires within an actual or estimated absorption time period of the ingestible medicament within the gastrointestinal tract of the subject.

    摘要: A gastrointestinal treatment system including a gastrointestinal capsule adapted to treat a subject following ingestion of the gastrointestinal capsule. The gastrointestinal capsule includes: (a) a housing; (b) a vibrating agitator, powered by the battery, the vibrating agitator adapted such that, in a first vibrating mode of operation, the housing exerts vibrations on an environment surrounding the capsule; (c) a power supply disposed within the housing and adapted to power the vibrating agitator; and (d) a controller adapted, in response to receipt of an activation input, to activate the vibrating agitator to operate in the first vibrating mode of operation at at least one predetermined time of day. The system and method may be used to treat an ailment of the gastrointestinal tract and/or to mitigate at least one symptom of jetlag in a subject travelling from an origin location to a destination location.

    摘要: A method of using a vibrating gastrointestinal capsule in coordination with an ingestible medicament for treatment of Parkinsonism. The vibrating gastrointestinal capsule, is provided to the subject, and includes: a housing; a vibrating agitation mechanism causing said housing to exert vibrations on an environment surrounding the vibrating gastrointestinal capsule; a power supply for powering said vibrating agitation mechanism; and a control mechanism for activating said vibrating agitation mechanism to operate in said vibration mode of operation. The subject ingests the ingestible medicament and the vibrating gastrointestinal capsule. At least one of a time of ingesting of the vibrating gastrointestinal capsule and a timing or activation delay of the vibration mode of operation is controlled, such that the vibration mode of operation at least partially transpires or completely transpires within an actual or estimated absorption time period of the ingestible medicament within the gastrointestinal tract of the subject.
