摘要:
Medical, diagnostic, and/or patient monitoring methods, systems and devices enhance ingestion-related health, often by screening and/or treating patients with eating disorders. Optionally, a gastric electric stimulation (GES) therapy system monitors changes in an obese patients autonomic balance associated with a stimulation event and/or a meal event by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV) of the patient. These event-based changes in autonomic balance may be used to determine which patients will likely respond to GES therapy, and/or to control the GES therapy administration.
