A Tiny Helper for the Heart
A pacemaker is a small device that helps a heart beat in a steady rhythm. Modern ones have AI inside.
The AI learns the wearer's normal pattern. When their body is resting, sleeping, or running around, it adjusts the heartbeat help to match.
What the AI does day to day
- Notices when you're sleeping
- Adjusts during exercise
- Sends alerts to the doctor if something is off
- Records data for your check-ups
The big idea: AI inside a pacemaker means it adapts to the person — not the other way around.
