The video discusses the Electronic Heart Guardian, a device that monitors heart activity and delivers electric impulses to correct irregularities. Implanted near the collarbone, it connects to three heart chambers and offers an advancement over traditional pacemakers by diagnosing and treating arrhythmias with targeted shocks. Weighing 70 grams and powered by a lithium battery, it can deliver shocks up to 700 volts. The device is linked to a computer center in Berlin for remote monitoring and reprogramming, representing a significant technological breakthrough with the potential to reduce hospitalizations.
