Real Time UK News: An electronic pill that tricks the brain into thinking the stomach is full could help tackle obesity. The revolutionary device looks like an ordinary tablet, but it is packed with cutting-edge technology.

The experimental pill works in the same way as gastric pacemakers to suppress appetite.

A gastric pacemaker is an implant that is surgically placed in the stomach and wired to the vagus nerve. This nerve carries signals from the stomach to the hypothalamus, the area of the brain responsible for regulating appetite.
