Kasyjanski's pacemaker contains a processor and a wireless transmitter that uploads her heart function data to her doctor's computer. The wireless pacemaker was approved by the US FDA a month ago.
Kasyjanski's doctor is Dr. Steven Greenberg:
"In the future, these pacemakers may be placed not just for people with slow heartbeats. We may be monitoring high blood pressure, we may be measuring glucose, we may be monitoring heart failure," he said,
"There are literally dozens of physiological parameters that now, with this wireless technology, we can leverage for the future of monitoring. So it is not just a rhythm monitor but a disease monitor."
