Article: Control your IBD with tablet app

tl;dr:

An implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve: "SetPoint’s novel platform consists of.. wireless charger and iPad prescription pad application."

There have been promising results already for RA, so maybe this will soon be an option for CD and UC. Seems it would be much safer than immune suppressors and anti-TNF drugs to me.

I used to meditate and imagine myself turning knobs to control my gut. Maybe I can do it with a slider on an iPad soon.

Thanks for posting this Levi,

It's pretty cool to see this stuff finally making it to clinical trials. I remember OM's thread on this from a long time ago when we were all sort of wondering when... There was another gadget as well from California that was similar I think - or maybe this is the same one.
