Abstract: An ingestible capsule device (ICD) comprising at least: a capsule-housing; and at least one motion device. Each motion device is located inside the ICD and has a power supply, a fixture element, at least one motor, and at least one weight assembly movable by use of the at least one motor, wherein the weight assembly is movably connected, via a hinge, to the fixture element to allow pendulum-like swinging movement of the weight assembly, in respect to the fixture element, about a swinging axis “x”. The swinging movement about the swinging axis “x” causes pounding of the weight of the weight assembly over at least one inner wall of the capsule-housing. The motion device may be configured to stimulate a gastrointestinal tract (GTI) section of the subject, by transmitting pounding forces of the weight assembly from the inner wall of the capsule-housing onto an inner wall of the GIT section.
