An external magnet is used to position swallowable electronic pill in a specific spot in the stomach that stimulates the stomach to make it believe it’s full.

When it receives the signal, the pill delivers a series of electrical pulses to the lining of the stomach, stimulating the organ. Depending on the pill’s location, different effects can be achieved to tailor the therapy to the individual patients’ needs.
This is still a technology waiting for further development and requires confirmation using clinical trials, but MelCap is forging ahead and hopes to have a product ready to market hopefully sometime next year.
