Multimode Operating Pacemaker using Accelerometer

Earlier pacemaker types had only one pacing mode i.e., it can only give pulse in a fixed rate with the certain interval based on the patient’s requirement only in resting. So, it will suppress the patient’s normal life and it also makes the situation worse if the patient faces any emergency. For satisfying all these conditions a pacemaker with different modes of operation for running, jogging, rest & sleeping we have the Multimode Manual Operating Pacemaker (MMOP) with different types of pacing modes which satisfy various demand functions. Here the various activities of patient are detected by an accelerometer sensor. For testing purpose, we use MEMS technology to determine the changes in the heartbeat due to various activities of human and with the help of a closed loop feedback system connected with MEMS. This pacemaker mimics like the SA node that act at the critical situation. With these types of pacemakers, the workload-dependent variation in heart rate is compromised. By adding GSM modem, we can know the current status (working mode, BPM) of the pacemaker.
