Dr. Sergio del Hoyo: Premier Bariatric Surgeon in Puerto Vallarta, MX

Dr. Sergio del Hoyo. Embarking on a weight loss journey through surgical intervention is both a significant and life-altering decision. Weight loss surgery not only mitigates the health complications related to obesity but also operates through two primary mechanisms:

  1. Restriction - By surgically reducing the stomach's capacity, the amount of food intake is naturally limited, subsequently curbing the calorie consumption.
  2. Malabsorption - Certain procedures modify or bypass a segment of the small intestine, which decreases calorie and nutrient absorption.

Given an individual's medical background, a surgeon can advise the most appropriate procedure. Typically, the surgery entails about five days, and due to its laparoscopic approach, the surgical incisions remain minimal. Such minimally invasive techniques can undoubtedly propel one towards a healthier life trajectory.

About Dr. Sergio del Hoyo

Recognized both in Mexico and Europe, Dr. Sergio del Hoyo boasts dual board certification. He embarked on his illustrious medical journey in Guadalajara, MX, delving deep into Obesity Surgery and Metabolic Disorders.

Endorsed by esteemed institutions like the CMCG, CMCOEM, AMCE, and IFSO, Dr. del Hoyo's expertise encompasses laparoscopic gastric bypass, laparoscopic gastric sleeve, and duodenal switch procedures. He also caters to a myriad of ailments, from gallbladder issues, hemorrhoids, gastritis to hernias.

His holistic approach is bolstered by a dedicated team comprising nutritionists, endoscopists, and anesthetists.

AI/ML Innovations’ Health Gauge Partners with TaqTik Health to Address Obesity

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 23, 2023 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), a company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Health Gauge Inc., has entered into a Letter of Intent with the Silicon Valley-based TaqTik Health, Inc to pilot an AI-enhanced health & wellness remote monitoring solution for obesity patients.

Upon the successful conclusion of the pilot study, Health Gauge and TaqTik intend to enter a commercial arrangement to continue to utilize the Health Gauge solution to help improve the outcome for TaqTik's patients.

Pilot Study: This multi-phased pilot is a collaboration between bariatric surgeons and specialists in Mexico and Asia, Health Gauge, and TaqTik Health - a global provider focused on supporting its 35,000 remote obesity patient subscribers at home with concierge health coaching. The pilot is already well underway in Mexico and will roll out with other bariatric partners in Asia in the months ahead, including patients being treated with bariatric surgery and other obesity treatments.

Health Gauge's proprietary digital health monitoring & management platform, which is provided through the HG Phoenix wearable and smartphone app, forms the technological backbone for the monitoring of the global bariatric patients involved in the pilot. The unique solution provides pilot participants with 1:1 support from TaqTik health coaches and Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon Dr. Humberto Solis, who is the head surgeon at Gastro & Bariatric Clinic and co-founder of the Gastric and Bariatric foundation in Los Cabos, Mexico. The pilot patients in Mexico have had sleeve gastrectomy and bari-clip procedures.

The pilot objective is to support lifestyle modification and sustain weight loss for medical travelers and remote patients following weight loss surgery and other bariatric treatments. Determinants of program success will focus on overall engagement and weight loss.

Global obesity rates have tripled since 1975, with one billion people globally estimated to be living with obesity by 2030. In 2021, the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (AMMBS) still considered metabolic/bariatric surgery the most effective and long-lasting treatment for severe obesity resulting in significant weight loss and the improvement, prevention, or resolution of many related diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.

"This innovative pilot brings together an experienced group of partners with interest in improving affordable accessibility for bariatric surgery (whether local or overseas) while leveraging tech and touch to streamline remote post-care support to improve obesity patient success rates," said TaqTik President, Mr. Yasuhiro Hashimoto, M.D.

"Access to digital health solutions that blend cutting-edge technology with personalized, human support is what we see as being the key to helping people reach and maintain health and lifestyle goals," added Randy Duguay, CEO of Health Gauge. "TaqTik and Health Gauge share a vision of making it easier for people to coordinate and stay engaged with their clinicians and healthcare support team no matter where they are, and that is why we're excited about this landmark pilot partnership. It's a great example of what can happen when the digital health sector works directly with consumer-facing companies to address and prevent global obesity."

"Providing best-matched personalized treatments combined with health & wellness monitoring provides a unique value for remote and international patients," says Rachel Rowling, COO of TaqTik, "to consistently deliver long-term positive patient outcomes and experiences."

On-demand healthcare is where patients use and access healthcare services online in real-time via wearables, mobile apps or websites. From scheduling an appointment with a TaqTik health consultant, booking a vertical teleconsultation with a top surgeon or specialist to booking a surgery or treatment date in over 25 destinations, the purpose of on-demand healthcare is that patients can use these services instantly and easily whenever and wherever they want, through smart mobile devices.

"On-demand healthcare consumers are much more willing to pay private clinics and travel domestically or internationally to get access to life-changing surgeries and treatments," says Rachel Rowling, COO of TaqTik.
