GASTRIC ELECTROMAGNETIC BAND CONTROLLED BY AUTOMATIC EATING DETECTION |
摘要 |
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for controlling a gastric band in response to the detection of eating in a subject. The band is positioned in a subject around the subject's stomach. In one method, the band is adjusted in response to changes in electrical activity of the subject's lower esophageal sphincter. Changes in electrical activity can be monitored by a monitoring unit, which can send signals to the band to open or close depending on the changes in electrical activity. |
