Podcast Alert: Andreia Trindade Pereira Discusses Blood2Power’s Groundbreaking Biomedical Innovations

In a recent interview on the O Futuro do Futuro podcast, researcher Andreia Trindade Pereira shared an exciting insight into the potential benefits of improving pacemaker battery technology. According to Andreia, enhancing the batteries of pacemakers could lead to significant savings for the Portuguese National Health Service (SNS), estimating a reduction of about 4,000 euros per person. More importantly, this advancement could also reduce the risks associated with pacemaker use, offering improved safety for patients.

The Blood2Power project is at the forefront of this innovation, exploring how advanced materials and energy-harvesting technologies can revolutionize medical devices like pacemakers. These improvements are not only cost-effective but also promise to enhance the quality of life for patients, aligning with the project’s mission to drive forward-thinking solutions in healthcare.

“We create materials that can harness generated static electricity to power electronic devices implanted inside our bodies.”

Stay tuned as the project continues to push boundaries and explore life-changing applications for biomedical technology.

This conversation offers a fascinating look into how cutting-edge materials and technologies are shaping the future of healthcare.
