AI-Enabled Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
In 2026, ICDs do more than just deliver a "shock" to stop a heart attack. They serve as Hemodynamic Monitors.
HeartLogic™ Algorithms: These devices track physiological trends such as heart sounds, respiratory rate, and activity levels.
Predictive Alerts: By analyzing "Thoracic Impedance" (which measures fluid buildup in the lungs), the ICD can alert a cardiologist that a patient is heading toward a heart failure episode up to 30 days before the patient feels short of breath.
