Engineers have taken their transient pacemaker and integrated it into a coordinated network of four soft, flexible, wireless wearable sensors and control units placed on different anatomically ...

Modern pacing systems are composed of a pulse generator and a lead (Figure 1). The pulse generator has a roughly circular shape (4-5 cm diameter) and weighs approximately 25-30 g. [32] The pulse ...

The wire-free pacemaker could benefit patients recovering from cardiac surgery, without the need for added operations to remove it. Reading time 2 minutes A team of scientists created a novel type of ...

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it’s no longer needed.
