How a vibrating capsule could help curb obesity

How a vibrating capsule could help curb obesity: A team of scientists have developed a noninvasive alternative to current weight-loss options—an oral capsule containing a tiny vibrating motor that is designed to stimulate the stomach to produce the same sense of fullness people experience after eating a large meal. A team of scientists is developing a noninvasive alternative to current weight-loss options—an oral capsule containing a tiny vibrating motor that is designed to stimulate the stomach to produce the same sense of fullness that people experience after eating a large meal. In a preclinical animal study, the researchers found that when pigs were given the vibrating electronic capsule before meals, they had significantly reduced food consumption and slower weight gain compared to when they didn’t receive the treatment.
