Filed:

Feb 12, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/069681

Inventors:

Brian Charles Weiner - Morganville NJ, US
Sarah Hedy Weiner - Morganville NJ, US

International Classification:

A61M 29/00
A61B 17/00

US Classification:

606192, 604 9601

Abstract:

A multi-method and multi-apparatus for treating obesity. The multi-method includes a method for estimating a volume of an intragastric balloon appropriate for an individual patient, a method for using an enterocutaneous fistula to inspect an intragastric balloon without sedation and endoscopic complications associated with an upper endoscopy, and a method for decreasing ability of the stomach of an individual patient to distend or expand after a meal increasing satiety and helping the individual patient to comply with a weight loss diet. The multi-apparatus includes an intragastric balloon for inflating without installation of a pressurized gas or liquid, an intragastric balloon for minimizing trauma of the intragastric balloon on the gastric mucosa, and an intragastric balloon for administering therapeutic medications.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention relate to system and method of dieting, wherein safe increases to an individual's basal metabolic rate accelerates the burning of fat, and may be used as a primary method of weight loss and/or as a complementary technique to the success of other weight loss strategies. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of weight loss comprises measuring a temperature and quantity of a consumable product; determining a gross caloric value of the consumable product; calculating an energy to be expended during consumption of the consumable product by an individual; calculating a net caloric value of the consumable product, wherein the net caloric value is equal to a gross caloric value of the consumable product less the caloric energy expended by an individual in consuming the consumable product; and tracking the net caloric value over a predetermined time interval.

International Classification:

G08B 21/24

US Classification:

3405731

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method and system for monitoring hygiene compliance is provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for monitoring hygiene compliance may include at a server having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors: receiving hygiene data from a hygiene monitoring member, the hygiene data indicating the dates and times a user used a hygiene improvement apparatus and the length of time the user used the hygiene improvement apparatus; comparing the hygiene data with a hygiene protocol; determining if the hygiene data conforms to the hygiene protocol; generating an alert if the hygiene data does not conform to the hygiene protocol; and storing the hygiene data in a database.
