Obesity is a complex and challenging disease, which needs both behavioural and medical therapy for management. We suggest the term barofeedback for use in obesity treatment. Barofeedback is a comprehensive biopsychosocio-environmental approach, which uses information gained from awareness of external cues and triggers, subjective internal responses, and objective physiological parameters, to assist the individual and their caregivers in modification and optimization of attitudes, behaviours and choices related to weight management. This concept should be integrated in all obesity care protocols.

Effects of feedback
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
Feedback Loops
Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
