A method for treating a human subject suffering from a gastrointestinal disorder using a non-dissolvable ingestible capsule, the method including providing the non-dissolvable ingestible capsule to the subject, and subsequently, ingesting the non-dissolvable ingestible capsule by the subject, wherein passage of the non-dissolvable ingestible capsule through the gastrointestinal tract of the subject treats the gastrointestinal disorder, and wherein the non-dissolvable ingestible capsule may be at least one of: a non-vibrating capsule, a capsule that is devoid of any electronic components, and a capsule that is devoid of any mechanical moving components.

A multi-sensory media experience delivery platform includes a vibroacoustic therapy bed that delivers a multi-sensory media experience locally stored, streaming, on-demand, or real-time signals. The vibroacoustic therapy bed drives a plurality of sensory output devices based on a set of sensory output channels to produce sounds, vibrations, light patterns, or other sensory outputs. The channels may be derived from dedicated signals created for a specific sensory output device or may be derived from an audio file or other general set of waveforms. The multi-sensory media experience may be customized to a user based on user profile data, metadata associated with the multi-sensory media experience, or biometric data. Furthermore, users can create customized multi-sensory media experiences from libraries of sounds or other media.

The system has an accessory control module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, a device of a human user, and an accessory configured to communicate with the device, the accessory including a motor or a heater. The accessory control module, the processor, the device, and the accessory are configured to receive or obtain audio data using the device, identify at least one parameter of the audio data, the at least one parameter having one or more parameter values, convert the one or more parameter values into one or more action signals, and control the motor or the heater using the one or more action signals to perform a predefined act of the accessory at a parameter-dependent intensity synchronously with receiving or obtaining the audio data. The predefined act sexually stimulates the human user.
