Remote cardiac monitoring, or remote heart monitoring, is a method by which information from a patient's implantable rhythm management device (pacemaker) can be communicated directly to the ...

The device is smaller than a grain of rice and can be paired with a soft, wireless wearable designed to be attached to the patient’s chest.

For Karzen, 71, his journey toward implantation occurred two to three years ago when he noticed his endurance decrease. Lake Forest Hospital Dr. Nishant Verma shows a new type of pacemaker being ...

The pacemaker also has a light-activated switch, and this is paired with a small heart rate sensor that the patient wears on their chest. When the latter detects the patient's heart slowing below ...

The implant itself sits on the speech center of the brain so that it’s listening in, and those signals are translated to pieces of speech that make up sentences. It’s a “streaming approach ...

PARIS - Scientists said on April 2 they have developed the world’s tiniest pacemaker, a temporary heartbeat regulator smaller than a grain of rice that can be injected and controlled by light ...

Researchers have developed a tiny, temporary pacemaker that dissolves when no longer needed, helping to overcome some of the challenges associated with current devices. Temporary pacemakers are ...

Engineers from Northwestern University revealed what they called “the world’s smallest pacemaker” on April 2, with the tiny device measuring smaller than a grain of rice. The university said the ...
