I think it is an interesting article. I'm surprised no one else has bothered to comment. If you were to mention, however briefly, National Health Care, or some synonym therof, you would get plenty of comments - largely venomous.
Your article caught my eye as I have just had a pacemaker fitted. However, I am assured that the battery could last 10 years, so replacement is not an immediate concern.
My first reaction was that this sounds a bit like a perpetual motion machine. But on further thought I realized that the pacemaker only triggers the heart muscles to contract, it does not provide the energy. The energy for muscle contraction is provided by ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Kudos to Dr. Karami for finding a perfect application for an existing technology to solve a human need/problem.
Energy harvesting in various forms has been around for decades, but was mainly used for more exotic applications like spying. This solution will do some real and lasting good... (Andrew Carnegie paraphrase and pun intended)
Let's hope that the approval process will not take too long
