Tackling Obesity with a Food-based Gastric Balloon | Kristel de Ridder, Revividal

With Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro now delivering up to 25% weight loss, why is a Dutch startup building a medical device for the same task? And who exactly is it for?

In this episode of the GS MedTech Podcast, we sat down with Kristel de Ridder, CEO of Revividal, who develops a swallowable, food-based gastric balloon as a non-invasive alternative to weight-loss drugs. The capsule inflates to roughly the size of a ping pong ball, suppresses hunger for several days, then breaks down and leaves the body naturally. No endoscopy, no surgery, no systemic drug.
