"There are more people walking around with breast implants than any other medical device, including cardiac pacemakers, so if 'breast implant illness' was a cause for concern, we'd know about it already."Dr.
|
|
Another factor will be how well the pacemakers do their job - both in hitting various distances at pre-planned times, and in shielding Kipchoge and company from any headwinds on the loop course.
|
|
It's possible that diagnostic data or settings will be lost — or worse, that the device will be bricked — so patients should talk to their doctors about the risks and benefits of updating their pacemakers.
|
|
That includes pieces of technology we put in our bodies—recently, it's become clear that vital medical devices like insulin pumps and pacemakers possess the same vulnerabilities as those ill-advised connected tea kettles.

Short of having a reproducible method to attack the pacemakers, the fact that the MedSec attacks appear so similar to a device simply not plugged in suggests an alternate explanation for the supposed hack.
|
|
Since these pacemakers often have over 5 years of battery life, they often provide an aging dog with cardiac issues the extra help they need to fully enjoy the golden years of their life.

Ultimately, adding software to guns (or cars, or pacemakers, or anything else) does not make them safer or more secure — rather, it makes them less secure because it gives creative bad actors a whole new avenue for exploits.
|
|
But America's internet-linked economy and growing "internet of things"—with everything from home security systems and self-driving cars to pacemakers connected to the web—also make it the most vulnerable country in the world to cyberattack.
|

Pacemakers and other implanted devices require a source of power, and providing that power is usually a battery; but batteries run out and need to be replaced — not a simple task when it's an inch or two beneath your skin.

The "moonshot marathon," as various runners and coaches described it in my book, would seek to shrink those contingencies to as near zero as possible—by staging the event on a looped course of several miles, protected from wind, in cold temperatures that allowed the athletes not to overheat, with a minimum of tight corners, with teams of pacemakers entering and leaving the race lap by lap, and, crucially, recompensing world-class athletes with large paychecks.
