    The year is 2027. Police bust your door down and cuff you. Your pacemaker took part in a ddos attack on the gov servers

      i get the joke but the pacemaker’s mostly just a battery. it doesn’t have much more radio than the magnetic/wireless charger your phone uses. very, very short range, no wifi at all. it’s the other implants that the pace powers you have to worry about.

        This needs to be disrupted. I bring pacemaker as a service, fully connected, for a small monthly upfront fee you can enjoy the latest in pacemakers, the i❤️.

        i❤️, a beat into the future.
