&quot;Abbott has secured approvals from the FDA for its new generation of connected pacemakers and defibrillator implants&quot;<p>Does this concern anyone else? My experiences with bluetooth haven&#x27;t been great. Beyond issues switching between generic keyboards and mice. I have intermittent connection issues even with the newest apple products which use their optimized H1 and W3 bluetooth chips+stacks. I wouldn&#x27;t want to be stuck in the ios bluetooth menu turning it on and off to access my pacemaker.

Hopefully some qualified independent third parties pen-tested this. Bluetooth and medical implants suggest a future of dangerous pranks.
