Abstract

A non-invasive therapeutic system and method for promoting redistribution of fat from visceral to subcutaneous compartments in a subject. An external applicator positioned over an abdominal region delivers combined mechanical stimulation, controlled thermal modulation, and neuro-adipose modulation under the control of a central controller. Mechanical oscillations and compressive forces mobilize visceral fat stores; dynamic heat-cool cycles modulate adipocyte metabolism and inflammatory signaling; and low-intensity neuro-adipose signals influence lipid storage pathways. The coordinated treatment protocol is designed to reduce high-risk visceral adiposity while enhancing storage of lipids in lower-risk subcutaneous adipose tissue. Sensors may provide feedback for safety and personalization, and an artificial intelligence algorithm may optimize treatment parameters based on subject-specific data and outcomes.
