Vibrant Gastro Overview
Vibrant Gastro is the developer of the Synchronized Activation Method, a groundbreaking drug-free technology system that uses gentle vibrations to stimulate the colon mechanically. The preprogrammed timing of the mechanical stimulation is designed to improve natural colonic motility by leveraging the colon’s biological clock. The company’s technology system allows for future development of data-driven personalized treatments and additional indications leveraging the gut-brain connection via the enteric nervous system pathway. Vibrant Gastro’s first indication is for treating adults with chronic idiopathic constipation who have not experienced relief of their symptoms after using laxative therapies at the recommended dosage for at least one month.
