1. A system to generate real-time interventions in response to a patient'"'"'s degree of appetite, comprising:

  • an electrical dermal patch comprising;

    a housing;

    a controller positioned within the housing;

    at least one electrode positioned in physical communication with the housing and adapted to be in electrical contact with the patient'"'"'s skin; and

    ,a pulse generator positioned within the housing and in electrical communication with the controller and said at least one electrode, wherein the pulse generator is configured to generate a plurality of stimulation sessions comprising a plurality of electrical pulses defined by stimulation parameters and wherein said stimulation parameters comprise a first pulse width in a range of 10 μ

    sec to 10 msec, a first pulse amplitude in a range of 100 μ

    A to 100 mA, and a first pulse frequency in a range of 1 Hz and 100 Hz;

    a first plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in a client device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said first plurality of programmatic instructions is adapted to cause the client device to generate a prompt to the patient to input data indicative of the patient'"'"'s degree of appetite via a microphone or a display of said client device;

    a second plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in the client device or another device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said second plurality of programmatic instructions determines an appetite pattern of the patient based upon said inputted data; and

    a third plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory in the client device or another device separate from the electrical dermal patch, wherein, when executed, said third plurality of programmatic instructions determines an intervention and generates said intervention based on the appetite pattern.
