-Medical Applications-

Prosthetics

Arms, Legs, and other body parts

can be replaced with

electromechanical ones.



16/22

-Medical Applications-

Used by patients with slow or

erratic heart rates. The pacemaker

will set a normal heart rate when it

sees an irregular heart rhythm.

Monitors the heart. If heart

fibrillates or stops completely it will

shock the heart at high voltage to

restore a normal heart rhythm.


Pace Maker

Implantable Defibrillation
