It is a biological chip device, attached to the stomach wall of people with eating and weight problems.
Chip helps control weight with compact size.
Dr. Xudong Wang, a material scientist who has been in the top 35 inventors under 35 years old by MIT Technology Review Magazine, and his colleagues created a very effective weight control method. It is a biological chip device, attached to the stomach wall of people with eating and weight problems.
It will generate electrical signals to stimulate the vagus nerve, running from the colon and stomach to the brain stem. Signals will help users feel full and thereby limit the amount of food entering the body without straining the stomach. When they want to gain weight again, they just need to disconnect or remove the chip from the stomach.
The chip uses the principle of neurological modulation (Neuromodulation), which controls the body's functions by stimulating or affecting neurophysiological signals.
In fact, there is the vagus nerve stimulator chip used for transplanting into the body to help users lose weight, but it has a very cumbersome and complex electrical system. Dr. Wang's newly built chip does not contain batteries, so it is extremely compact, about half the size of a stamp.
