Introduction
title
At the center of MedAutonomic is Dr. Valerio Cigaina. Dr. Cigaina invented and commercialized the gastric pacemaker, a device that helped people control their eating. Based on years of research, Dr. Cigaina determined that the pacemaker worked by correcting an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), and that diseases such as type-2 diabetes, hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were related to this imbalance. Through data on hundreds of patients, he was able to determine the precise signal that was sent to the brain to correct the ANS imbalance.
