Next Generation Battery-Free Implantable Pacemakers

The pacemaker market is estimated to achieve USD 5.1 billion by 2024 from USD 4.3 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 2.1%. Pacemakers are medical devices that regulate the rate at which the heart’s chambers pump blood and are meant for persons who suffer irregular heartbeats. This can be caused by several variables, including environmental, genetic, and behavioural factors, or a combination of them.

Pacemakers are linked to longer lifespans and life expectancies in persons who have them implanted. On the other hand, electronic pacemakers are related to several issues, including their size. Even though current units can be as little as a grain of rice, some users find them difficult to wear. Pacemakers, as well as the wires that connect them to their power supplies, are implanted in the chest. This configuration increases the risk of pacemaker issues, including an infection or irritation around the wires, sometimes known as ‘leads’ and sudden battery failures. There are also cases of pacemaker lead corrosion and product recalls, both of which have resulted in impromptu pacemaker removal procedures for patients with who any of these potentially deadly situations has afflicted. Even if the pacemaker works well and has no side effects, the battery will eventually wear out and need to be changed, which generally necessitates additional surgery.

To overcome these limitations for millions of individuals worldwide, battery-free implants might reduce the costs, medical hazards & inconvenience of having to replace a battery every 5 to 12 years.

Battery-Free Pacemakers:

Rice University and THI-Texas Heart Institute researchers have developed a wireless and battery-free pacemaker that may be placed directly into a patient’s heart. Their device was presented at the IEEE’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Honolulu.

University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is creating a piezoelectric system that converts vibrational energy–created inside the chest by each heartbeat – into electricity, which is then utilized to operate the pacemaker.
