Scientists have designed a temporary, battery-free pacemaker that can be broken down by the patient’s body when its work is done, the latest advance in the emerging field of bioelectronics. In a paper ...

Sometimes heart patients may need a pacemaker temporarily; they may be waiting for a permanent one, or it might be necessary after cardiac surgery has been performed, for example. The procedure is not ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

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 ...
