"MIT's Vibrating Pill: A Breakthrough in Weight Loss Technology"
MIT engineers have developed an ingestible capsule that vibrates in the stomach, simulating fullness by activating stretch receptors, reducing food intake by about 40%. This non-invasive approach, potentially useful for weight control, could offer a cost-effective alternative to current obesity treatments. The vibrating pill, designed to be taken before meals, activates stretch receptors in the stomach, creating an illusory sense of fullness and reducing appetite. If further research suggests this technology could be safely used in humans, it might provide a minimally invasive, affordable way to treat obesity.
