An experimental leadless pacemaker is able to capture enough energy from the heart to partially power the device, according to results from a new proof-of-concept study. The prototype device harvested ...
UW researchers created a sleeve for a pacemaker using piezoelectric materials, which generate electricity when mechanical pressure is applied. Credit: iMatter Lab & Bioengineering ...
Millions of people have benefited from pacemakers since the first one was implanted in 1958, but the basics facets of the design have remained unchanged. These devices are still battery-operated, with ...
A new algorithm generated at the University of Leeds could help doctors across Bradford extend the life of pacemakers.
The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves after ...
