A pacemaker that never needs a battery replacement could soon become reality, thanks to a device that generates its own electricity from the very heartbeat it regulates. University of ...

A battery-free pacemaker can harvest energy from each heartbeat, potentially allowing future devices to work far longer ...

A heartbeat-powered pacemaker from UW–Madison harvests cardiac motion to charge an experimental leadless implant.

A team of University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers has developed an implantable, battery-free pacemaker that's charged by a patient's heartbeat. The device has the potential to last an entire ...

Cardiac pacemakers are battery-dependent, where the pacing leads are prone to introduce valve damage and infection. In addition, complete pacemaker retrieval is necessary for battery replacement.

Millions of people have benefited from pacemakers since the first one was implanted in 1958, but the basics facets of the design have remained unchanged. These devices are still battery-operated, with ...
