With the help of an Iranian scientist, it became possible to charge the pacemaker battery with the heartbeat

The Iranian scientist of the University of Washington, America, named Babak Nazeri, with the help of another collaboration, was able to achieve the ability to recharge the batteries of pacemakers through the beating of the heart itself. Of course, this research is in the early stages of development and more tests should be done on it to use it today.

According to Tekna’s technology and technology news service, the new achievement of Washington University researchers is the creation of a lead-free pacemaker that receives the energy needed to charge itself from the heart itself.

According to the researchers’ press release, all small lead-free pacemakers currently have batteries that last only 15 years. At the end of the battery life, these people have to undergo another surgery and install a new device for them.

Babak Nazer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington, has used the mechanical energy of the heartbeat to convert it into electricity to charge the battery inside the pacemaker. According to an observer, similar to ultrasound devices that can convert electrical voltage into pressure or sound, we also tried to engineer similar materials for implantable medical devices and through them convert the heart’s natural fluctuating pressures into voltage and increase battery life. to give

This medical team has designed 3 prototype devices to test the functionality of this idea. Three devices were recorded in a cardiac pressure simulator to determine the output voltage, the amount of energy produced by them. With the new device, patients will no longer need further operations after the life of the pacemaker battery.
