Capsule Robot for Obesity Treatment With Wireless Powering and Communication

摘要: An intragastric balloon robot is a less invasive and effective method for morbid obesity treatment. Traditional robots need insertion tools endoscopes placement removal of balloons in the stomach, which may cause complications such as nausea sickness. This paper proposes novel capsule treatment with wireless powering communication. It placed stomach through patient's swallowing esophagus squirming motions. The system then inflated occupies to arouse feeling satiation. communication systems are embedded into module outside human body operation control energy supply. Sleeping mode included electric circuit design save power consumption. A research prototype developed, performance tested experiments. In addition, vivo vitro experiments conducted validate functionalities. current used principle verification cannot be swallowed yet. size will optimized decreased further future work.
