A vibrating pill, swallowed before eating, that creates feelings of fullness.
The vibrations, which are powered by a battery encased in the swallowed capsule, can be triggered when stomach acid dissolves a membrane around the pill, or by a timer.
The work in pigs suggests the vibrations activate stretch receptors in the stomach, simulating the presence of food.
This results in signals being sent to the hypothalamus in the brain via the vagus nerve, increasing levels of various hormones that give rise to a feeling of fullness and decreasing those that result in feelings of hunger.
