MelCap Systems is an Israeli firm that may offer a new way of treating obesity and other eating conditions using a swallowable electronic pill. The technology is still in development, but the company already received a patent for its pill that supposedly stimulates the stomach to make it believe it’s full.
To begin the therapy, the pill is swallowed and an external magnet is used to position it in a specific spot within the stomach, be it near the lower esophagus sphincter or in proximity to the vagus nerve.
