AMKA Med

Amka Med is a medical device company focused on developing non-invasive treatments for obesity and metabolic diseases. The company was founded by Amir Belson, a prolific medical entrepreneur known for founding numerous successful medtech startups. Amka Med's core technology is a wearable intra-oral device designed to stimulate satiety and reduce appetite through controlled thermal modulation of the palate. This approach targets the neural signaling pathways between the oral cavity and the brain's appetite centers to promote weight loss. The device offers a potential alternative to invasive bariatric surgeries and long-term pharmacological treatments. Clinical feasibility studies have been conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the device in patients with obesity.
