Current Invention: Pacemaker
Impact: Pacemakers are used to treat arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are problems with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. During an arrhythmia, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm. A pacemaker is a small device that's placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. During an arrhythmia, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. This can cause symptoms such as fatigue (tiredness), shortness of breath, or fainting. Severe arrhythmias can damage the body's vital organs and may even cause loss of consciousness or death.
Lesson learnt: Advancement in technology has improved people with diseases to live a healthier life.
Adaptation: Pacemaker has a likeliness to fail. To solve this attach a heart rate sensor and a GPS monitoring system with it. By this doctors can monitor the patient’s heart. Also, when the pacemaker stops functioning, the heart rate sensor will realise if the heart is beating irregularly. The pacemaker will inform the GPS and GPS will send emergency information to the nearest hospital available to send an ambulance to the location of the patient.
Reasons for choice of topic: Technology has not improved so much to make the pacemaker work perfectly. Pacemaker might fail any time since implantation. While many people are getting their pacemaker placed in them, there is a high chance of more people with failing pacemaker. By having a heart rate sensor and a GPS more lives can be saved by saving time.
