The Future
- The enhanced ability for the pacemaker to respond automatically to the body based on physiological signals. For example during speech vs. during relaxation.
- Internalize the entire device thereby reducing susceptibility to infection.
- With use of a battery that can be recharged through the skin.
- With a battery that can continue without the need to be recharged for a minimum of ten years.
- Perhaps with the arising benefits of stem cell technology to regenerate damaged nerves or tissues, the phrenic nerve pacemaker will be made available to patients who are currently considered ineligible for this device due to extensive phrenic nerve damage.
