Calorie Pacer
UC San Diego engineers have developed a new family of devices for the control of calorie consumption in humans. The devices address the growing obesity problem in a unique way and can be used by athletes and others who focus on nutrition and calorie uptake in their daily activities. The invention can be exploited by medical device manufacturers, as well as direct-to-consumer manufacturers.
