The Effects of the ObeEnd Device on the Postprandial Response of Enterogastric Hormones and Appetite

WAT Medical Enterprise is developing is a new and innovative wellness technology that may help with weight loss called the ObeEnd band. The band uses electrical pulses to stimulate an acupressure point close to the wrist, which our previous research study shows can decrease the amount of food intake. More research is needed to identify the potential mechanisms by which the ObeEnd device affects appetite and to determine the optimal duration of stimulation. The objective of the project is to determine how stimulation of PC6 with the ObeEnd device affects appetite scores and the enterogastric hormonal response to a meal. The results will help the company fine tune the device and determine the most effective recommendations of device use, backed by scientific evidence.
