Development of a wirelessly powered implant system for multisite cardiac pacing - Mathews M John

This talk is part of the 'IEEE Day Celebration Talk Series, 2021', an event organised by the IEEE-IISc Communications Society. Talk Abstract : Major complications associated with current pacemaker technology is commonly related to wires, called as leads, traversing through the vasculature into the heart. While the recent advent of leadless pacemakers aims at addressing these complications, the current size of these devices prohibit them from delivering therapies that require multisite stimulation. We are currently developing a novel system comprising of multiple wirelessly powered sensing and pacing nodes, distributed at different locations in the heart, to allow for safe and effective multisite pacing. As is common with other medical device development, developing this system requires continuous collaboration between different teams focusing on the several aspects of the device. The Texas Heart Institute is collaborating with Rice University and UCLA to design and develop this system. About the Speaker : Mathews M John, MBE, MSc, BE is a research engineer in the Electrophysiology Clinical Research & Innovations Department at the Texas Heart Institute, Houston, TX, USA. He completed a double major in Electronics and Communication Engineering (BE) and earned his MSc in Biological Sciences at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science— Pilani (2014), and subsequently his Masters in Bioengineering at Rice University (2015). He has over 5 years of experience developing medical devices specifically in the cardiovascular therapies. He is responsible for designing and developing novel electronic hardware to develop novel therapies particularly pertaining to cardiac electrophysiology. He is interested in applying novel techniques and technologies to improve diagnostics and therapy of cardiac diseases.
