First demonstration of a self-powered cardiac pacemaker
First demonstration of a self-powered cardiac pacemaker | A self-powered artificial cardiac pacemaker that is operated semi-permanently by a flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator has been developed by researchers. The team's newly designed flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator directly stimulated a living rat's heart using electrical energy converted from the small body movements of the rat.
Stanford engineer invents safe way to transfer energy to medical chips in the body
Medicinal drugs might be out of the picture here. Stanford University have developed a new device that can be implanted close to bundles of nerves, the heart, or even the brain and would then stimulate them directly when need to treat diseases using electronics instead of drugs. could be the future...
