NDSU Team Succeeds In New Pacemaker Technology

An eclectic team of medical personnel, animal experts and electrical engineering professors and graduate students recently gathered on the North Dakota State University campus to test a prototype for a cardiac pacemaker that works without wires or batteries.

The group was able to “pace” a sheep’s heart by transmitting radio frequency energy--much like what comes from your cellphone--from an antenna into a tiny microprocessor in the sheep, without contact with the animal.
