Obesity is a significant health concern that often leads to metabolic dysfunction and chronic diseases. This study introduces a novel approach to combat obesity using orally ingested self‐powered electrostimulators. These electrostimulators consist of piezoelectric BaTiO3 (BTO) particles conjugated...
