This innovative solution aims to provide off-grid, sustainable electricity for pacemakers, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements and multiple surgeries. By using a piezoelectric component, control device, and rechargeable battery, this system reduces the overall expenses and offers a permanent solution. Although mass production is currently unavailable, this concept shows promise for the future.

Off Grid Electricity Production for Pacemakers GiladSerper Evyatar Cohen EleonoraDelfrate
Who Needs Pacemakers? • Over 10,000,000 people have pacemakers • Every year, there are additional 1,000,000 new implants • The ages of the patients vary from over 60 for most patients to under 5 in extreme cases.
Current Situation • Battery replacement is needed every 7 years on average • Multiple surgeries
Our Idea • Off grid • Long term solution • Feasible in the near future • Not as expensive as you might think
