From pacemakers to neurostimulators, implantable medical devices rely on batteries to keep the heart on beat and dampen pain. But batteries eventually run low and require invasive surgeries to replace. To address these challenges, researchers in China devised an implantable battery that runs on oxygen in the body. The study, published March 27 in the journal Chem, shows in rats that the proof-of-concept design can deliver stable power and is compatible with the biological system.
More like a parasite since it’s competing with the rest of your body for that oxygen.
Presumably doctors would only implant a device which benefits the patient.
Yes but does it benefit the device?
Neuralink begs to differ.
(the probability of it causing Meningitis is pretty high)
And which doctor is prescribing it?
You don’t need a prescription for it, nither do you for any other implants.
“Presumably”
