AI-Integrated External Gastric Stimulation System for Appetite Control and Behavioral Modification

Smart overview of the Invention

An innovative external vibrational device is designed to stimulate the stomach non-invasively, promoting satiety and supporting weight management. This device offers a minimally invasive alternative for weight loss, suitable for both morbidly obese and moderately overweight individuals. By activating vagal nerve fibers, the device leverages customizable frequency and intensity settings to meet individual physiological needs, available in handheld and wearable formats for convenience.

Technical Features

Advanced soundproofing mechanisms, including multi-layer acoustic insulation and vibration dampening structures, ensure silent operation for user comfort. The device communicates with an AI-driven mobile application, enabling real-time tracking, compliance monitoring, and therapy optimization. This integration builds on existing FDA-approved models, incorporating cutting-edge features for enhanced therapeutic effectiveness.

AI and VR Integration

The mobile application utilizes AI analytics to determine optimal therapy timing, based on various physiological and behavioral data such as eating habits, physical activity, and stress levels. It includes a virtual reality (VR) module to address emotional eating, offering calming or aversive environments tailored to user mood states. This approach supports behavioral modification and promotes adherence to dietary guidelines.

User Engagement and Personalization

By integrating with health monitoring systems like CGMs and smartwatches, the device provides a comprehensive weight management solution. It dynamically adjusts vibration patterns based on real-time data, enhancing therapy efficacy. The app includes a chatbot for guidance and motivation, fostering sustained adherence to weight loss strategies. Personalized recommendations are continuously optimized through AI-driven insights.

Professional Oversight and Control

The system allows for remote human oversight, enabling healthcare providers to monitor compliance and offer personalized recommendations. User-configurable settings are accessible via the mobile app or directly on the device, with AI algorithms adapting these settings to optimize therapy efficacy. This dual control mechanism ensures a personalized experience while leveraging automated intelligence for enhanced treatment outcomes.
