MIT’s Ultrasound Patch Offers Non-Surgical Alternative to Heart Pacemaker Surgery

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a soft, wearable ultrasound patch capable of stimulating heart tissue, a potential non-invasive alternative to traditional electronic pacemakers. According to findings published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, this device uses ultrasound waves to exert mechanical pressure on cardiac cells, successfully regulating heart rhythm in … Read more
