Abstract

See full text

A gastric sensing system configured to monitor a patient's food intake is provided. The gastric sensing system includes a sensing apparatus adapted to measure satiety of a patient including strain exerted by the stomach. The sensing apparatus includes a sensor, configured to measure satiety of a patient, coupled to a microcontroller and a communication antenna. The communication antenna is configured to wirelessly transmit data collected by the sensors to a remote device. The remote device is in wireless communication with the sensing apparatus and configured to provide information collected by the sensing apparatus to a patient or physician. If the sensing apparatus detects a gastric condition, e.g., stomach strain, exceeds a predetermined threshold, the remote device alerts the patient or physician.
