This pacemaker will send an SMS to the mobile phone of the treating cardiologist, informing him of his patients’ heart failures just minutes after he’s gotten hammered on the golf course. Fortunately, it can also ring up other people, including hospital ‘special aid units,’ allowing someone to attempt to find the patient and treat them. The Philos II DR-T from manufacturer Biotronik can even determine (to some degree) how severe the issue is and post that information to the internet, where doctors can make a judgment about what to do.
Now combine this with GPS and a tiny capsule of self-administering nitroglycerin and think of all the rounds of golf we might save.
