Selectively Reducing Excess Consumption and/or Absorption of Unhealthy Food using Electrical Stimulation

This device uses a sensor placed inside your mouth to analyze food or saliva and identify specific unhealthy nutrients, such as certain sugars or fats. Once these are detected, the device then applies electrical stimulation to your digestive system to help you reduce your intake or absorption of those particular unhealthy substances.

Why it matters: The fundamental challenge of a real-time, specific nutrient sensor in the mouth remains a significant hurdle, despite advances in miniaturization and wireless medical devices since 2013.
