Efforts by scientists to develop technologies to overcome the problem of obesity was never stopped. In the United States for example, experts are developing a kind of “gastric pacemaker” called Abiliti.
This advanced tool is expected to be the solution for people with obesity in a slim body with safe and non invasive way without having to undergo liposuction surgery or cutting intestines (gastric bypass).
Credit card-sized tool is claimed to give full effect within a reasonably short time, and make fat people eat food with a normal portion. Tools embedded in the stomach is able to detect if the food has entered into the stomach and immediately provide a satiety signal to the brain, although the number of servings diasup bit.
For the initial stage, the tools developed by the company IntraPace will be implanted in obese patients with body mass index 30 or above. In America, a tool that is still in the experimental stage has been available in some private hospitals and to offer valued at approximately USD 14.5 million. Looking ahead, the tool is planned to be offered for those who are overweight and want to prevent obesity.
In trials in Europe, patients who received the tool is able to reduce the portion up to 45 percent in each feeding schedule. A patient from Germany even managed to lose weight from 159 kg to 76 kg, and has now participated in a triathlon race.
One of the doctors of the institute Weight Concern England Ian Campbell to assess the discovery of these tools is an important breakthrough and relatively safer than gastric bypass surgery. These implants can be programmed or disabled during scheduled meal or in between these times to prevent snacking desires and piling up the calories.
Although these tools can not count the number of calories, but this tool also provides information to physicians about the size of meals and snacks consumed. That way, a tool in the diet can help change lifestyle habits tailored to the patient.
