Last summer, Northwestern researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker. Now, they unveil a new, smart version that communicates with body sensors and a control network: https://bit.ly/38XBFIB "The system untethers patients from monitoring and stimulation apparatuses that keep them confined to a hospital setting. Instead, patients could recover in the comfort of their own homes," says Northwestern Engineering and Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Prof. John Rogers.

Introducing the world's smallest pacemaker 💜 The device is so tiny, it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be non-invasively injected into the body. This new pacemaker is particularly well-suited to the tiny, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects. | Northwestern University

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed the world's smallest pacemaker — so tiny it can be injected through a syringe and activated by light. Designed especially for newborns and patients who need temporary heart support, this pacemaker works without wires, bulky batteries, or surgery. Once it’s no longer needed, it harmlessly dissolves inside the body, eliminating the risks of surgical removal. Powered by a simple chemical reaction with body fluids and triggered by light pulses fro

Scientists at Northwestern University unveiled what may be the world's tiniest pacemaker, with new research published in Nature on Wednesday. Smaller than a grain of rice, the soft device fits in a syringe, so that it can be inserted non-invasively. When no longer needed, the tiny pacemaker dissolves, so that there's no need for a removal surgery. According to professor Igor Efimov, a co-lead in the study, about one percent of children worldwide are born with congenital heart defects. And though
