Abstract

A device, system and method for diagnosing and treating a patient is provided where a functional device (520) is attached to a stomach wall (104). The device in one embodiment provides electrical stimulation of the stomach wall. The device may also have other functional aspects such as a sensor (540) for sensing various parameters of the stomach or stomach environment, or a substance delivery device. The implant may be programmed to respond to sensed information or signals. The device includes a chamber (522) for receiving tissue of the stomach wall for attachment where a vacuum pressure is applied through the chamber to draw the tissue into the chamber.
