Shown are a device, system and method that improve the diabetes care of a patient that has undergone gastric surgery. The device provides continuously or intermediate monitoring at various intervals before and after meals of several sensors to perceive, among other things, the blood glucose level, EKG/heart rate and volume of meals a patient has consumed. Readings are sent to a control unit that receives input from at least one of: a meal sensor, glucose monitor, and EKG sensor to control a drug delivery unit that doses a prescribed agent at a specific quantity and time based on the readings to provide proper diabetes care for the patient. Components of the system such as the meal sensor glucose monitor, EKG sensor, control unit and drug delivery device may be implanted subcutaneously in the patient or outside the patient and may communicate with each other either wirelessly or may be directly wired together.

The present disclosure relates to treatment of reflux disease of a human patient. More particularly, a device is disclosed, which is configured to be implanted in the body of the human to restrict movement of the cardia of the patient's stomach towards the diaphragm opening into the patient's thorax, and/or to prevent stomach contents from passing from the stomach into the esophagus.

The present disclosure provides for wirelessly actuated soft robotic undulating pumps designed to efficiently transport both viscous fluids and solid cargos in human patients, methods of manufacturing a peristalsis-producing stent, and systems including a pair of soft magnetic sheets and a magnetic actuator configured to produce a magnetic field which generates complementary undulation of the pair of soft magnetic sheets. In an aspect, the pair of soft magnetic sheets can have at least a first soft magnetic sheet and a second soft magnetic sheet, and wherein a magnetization profile of the first soft magnetic sheet is coordinated with a magnetization profile of the second soft magnetic sheet.
