Swiss Start-up Revolutionizes Weight Loss
BERN, Switzerland, February 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
OECD suggests nearly every second person in the developed world is overweight or
obese. Existing weight loss methods bring short-term results, are reactive and
symptomatic, with side effects or with costly or painful surgical complications. ERIB, a
Swiss startup from Bern, wants to address obesity in a revolutionary manner with its
WeLoxx, a personal wrist-worn device enabling proactive personal weight loss.

ERIB employs scientific evidence linking reduced speed of eating with good metabolism,
weight-loss, and better health. The WeLoxx device, with its LED traffic lights system,
suggests a predefined healthy interval between our bites during meals resulting in
extended chewing time. Consequently, with fewer bites, we consume less food during the
first 20 minutes of the meal. 20 minutes has been scientifically proven to be the time
needed for the human body to send a satiety confirmation to the brain.
WeLoxx is unique in its proactive approach to changing behaviors. Using a sensor,
WeLoxx records and recognizes your hand's plate-to-mouth movements and counts down to
indicate with its 'traffic lights system' showing how long you still have to chew until
your next bite.

can upload and compare achievements and receive an incentive currency for sustained eating
habits improvement.
